Therapists are just…. Common sense filters

Therapists finding loopholes for mental illness things is one of my favorite things about dealing with mental illness because it really helps me understand that just because a reaction is Common doesn’t mean it’s Right. Does doing dishes stress you out a lot? Buy paper plates. Do your obsessive thoughts make you worry about leaving your curling iron on so you drive home from work to check? Just put the curling iron in your purse and bring it to work with you while we work on tackling where this worry comes from. Symptom management doesn’t have to look like drudgery.

This is where I get on my soap box and say: there’s no such thing as common sense, it’s all learned behavior. Therapists are great teachers.

imagine having sex with a ghost and then someone walks into your room and they see your asshole widening and narrowing for no reason

And meanwhile, assholes with no sense of irony or history refer to the naming of sexual predators as a witch hunt. 

It’s okay that you’re not who you thought you would be

wow this is one of the softest things I have read on here.
