That’s not appropriate. My psychiatrist literally said “the feelings you are having are normal. You are trying to carry on in the midst of intentional traumatic chaos. You aren’t crazy.” Perhaps acknowledging that it’s ok to feel your feelings is ok. - ThreadSky

You have a good psychiatrist. It absolutely is ok to feel your feelings but that’s I think what this person was saying. The advice of “Everyone special and shits gonna be fine” isn’t helpful when you feel like the entire world is crashing around you. That’s apathy

Thank goodness my medical professionals are wonderful. I more meant spaces on socials or non-profit orgs, wellness spaces, etc.

I’ve said this since the tail end of 2015. A lot of therapists handle this well but the amount of actual professionals I’ve watched say things like “well you ought to just let it go because there is nothing you can do anyway” is astronomical and made me feel insane. It’s apathy, and it’s not healthy

I'm very lucky that all the professionals I've been with have been great. I usually find this the most in online communities and spaces, often from orgs.
