Mmm... hash browns.

Another reason why I prefer to live alone. The only person I need to deal with is myself.

That last blog post took a lot out of me.

And to think this all started because of [tornado fang]ing hash browns.

I really think if you told this to a psychologist they would say your parents are mostly at fault for this emotional state for just bitching at you for everything and tearing you apart.

Eh, I'd still rather not see a psycholgist. :/

Sometimes it's a good idea to have someone to talk to.

Quickman · **Reply #1604 on:** May 30, 2013, 02:14:08 AM

See a psychologist now, or bottle it all up and end up in the psych ward because you can't take it anymore.

Trust me, seeing a psychologist is far less time-consuming, easier to deal with, and you don't need to be stuck in a mental ward on a restricted diet while psychiatrists try different meds on you.

That's why I have my blog, to vent.
I can't really talk openly, even in front of somebody who is a professional.

Quickman · **Reply #1606 on:** May 30, 2013, 02:18:43 AM

I've tried the blog route before. It wasn't enough. I needed interaction with someone who could teach me new and better coping skills. Blogs are fine for getting out frustrations, but they rarely lend to one-on-one discussion and advice. And it's not as if the psychologist will spread all of your secrets around, as they are bound by oath to maintain confidentiality.

You don't have such assurance with a blog. A text box cannot take the place of a person who is equipped to help you with life's irritating bits.

I guess i should probably consider it.

You should.
It could help you more than you imagine.

Mirby · **Reply #1609 on:** May 30, 2013, 03:00:58 AM

I know it helps me immensely.

Quickman · **Reply #1610 on:** May 30, 2013, 03:09:14 AM

I know I prefer to see a therapist every two weeks, as opposed to spending time in the psych unit.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1611 on:** May 30, 2013, 03:40:24 AM

And they could probably give you better advice than any of us could.

So apparently the problem with my room isn't the bathroom but the water heater.

Police Girl · **Reply #1612 on:** May 30, 2013, 03:42:35 AM

Our water heater broke recently, so we had to get a new one.

Anyway, i've decided to at least give therapy a try, though if they try to prescribe me pills right off the bat i'm stopping immediately.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1613 on:** May 30, 2013, 03:43:48 AM

Just make sure it's a psychologist and not a psychiatrist.

Police Girl · **Reply #1614 on:** May 30, 2013, 04:16:44 AM

I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Posted on: May 29, 2013, 08:53:44 PM

It might just be a therapist though.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1615 on:** May 30, 2013, 04:54:06 AM

I'm not sure how a therapist works.

Quickman · **Reply #1616 on:** May 30, 2013, 04:58:29 AM

Therapists do not prescribe pills. Counselors and therapists lack doctorates and are not licensed medical doctors. They can suggest seeing a psychiatrist, but they themselves cannot prescribe medication.

Psychiatrists prescribe medication, as they are licensed medical doctors. Some psychiatrists can provide the services of a psychologist, but most do not. Some even have particularly bad bedside manner. But, their job is to prescribe medication. Visits with a psychiatrist usually last about fifteen minutes.

I need to get something off my chest.

Under a spoiler, just in case:

[spoiler]
You see, when I finally gave that one last reply about KH, and Mirby promptly ignored it (which might have been the right thing to do) I frankly got angry.

Because my objective in that discussion wasn't any kind of drama.
But what really got to me, was the "KH is pretty emotional topic to me because of my friends".

Because although I know that's probably not what Mirby intended through that post, It made me feel very bad about what I was doing.
But then I got pissed.
Because I realized, that's actually a horrible and low thing to say, even if that was not the intention of it.

I basically felt, like by saying that, Mirb just said something along the lines of "I don't care for what you have to say because KH is a very touchy subject to me."

Keep in mind, I'm not trying to demonize Mirby here, no.
This is just me trying to get this off my mind. Last thing I want is drama right now, or causing some kind of grief to her.

And since it happened here, I'll just decided to post it here. Is all.

So anyway.

So then I began writing a post with a response, but then I realized that post might end horribly, so I changed it.
But each time I changed, I still knew it would end in a disaster.
So I just posted that: "Does anybody want to argue with me?!" or whatever post.

But even so, this little thing kept nagging at me.
I dunno if that makes me petty, or am I just more sensitive than I think... but that post by Mirb just made me feel horrible. Both in the way that it was actually something very emotional to her, because of what happend with her friends, and also, because it just seemed like a terrible thing to say in this situation.
Especially since I just wanted to argue, innocently enough, about KH's plot.

I know it wasn't its intention, but it still felt like a bad thing to say at the time. Sorry, Mirb. Forgive me.

Yeah. This would be it. Hate me if you will, but this is just something I had to say, otherwise I think I would explode.[/spoiler]

You didn't say the wrong thing.
[spoiler]No need to feel like you said the wrong thing, since you shouldn't have to have known in advance that Mirby would have brought that up.[/spoiler]

And a psycholgist can prescribe pills too?

One of our admins has been being particularly nasty to me as of late. I haven't the slightest idea why (though I suspect seething jealousy), and he accuses me of "putting on an act" when I claim ignorance. $:\$
