if you want to send me more info about this I’d love to read it! this is actually...really reassuring to read in a lot of ways especially from someone who is involved in the work so like. thank you for giving me some relief from the existential despair

(but yeah I think it’s something about...oh, I was reading about this recently, the idea of context collapse - the loss on social media platforms of a sense of - yeah, context, that helps people navigate interpersonal interactions in meatspace. and that collapse is less present within a group that you know/that knows you (i.e. friends) but as soon as that text reaches a wider audience that falls apart.)

ikr?? Like I heard it for the first time the other day and I had instant chills.

I agree. Last semester, I was in group and I was focused on my relationship with my parents, so that was helpful. I just don't think that's where I am right now like in my head. I'm not sure. It's so far into the semester that I might just go with it and try to find an individual therapist after I graduate...but then I'm hopefully going to grad school so idk how that's gonna work out. Ugh.

thank you <3 I was hoping group would help me learn to talk to other people about my problems, but I'm still finding it difficult. Instead of actually using the meetings, I'm hiding what I'm feeling and experiencing, so I feel like I'm wasting my time. I need to be in therapy to stay with my psychiatrist, and I'm not going to just stop going, but I'm not sure if this is actually helping me at all.

thanks for your input, as always ♥♥

I have no doubt hermione freakin' granger would OWN that ♥

you understand
