  • @faltzuthewiz@eliitin-some.fi I have found that dealing with my psychotic symptoms has been most successful when I don't go straight to "my concerns are unwarranted". Even if your concerns are not founded on consensus reality, you should still take yourself seriously. The approach of "I feel crap but watering the plants is important to me" is actually the basis of ACT therapy. A stands for Acceptance (NOT dismissing concerns), C for commitment (hey, I love my plants so I am going to water them even if they are spying on me), and T is just Therapy.

    @faltzuthewiz@eliitin-some.fi If anything, I can share a picture of my dead plants. A pityful monument of my executive disfunction. I will throw them to compost one day, you don't need to remind me every half year.

    @faltzuthewiz@eliitin-some.fi Totally. We always think that our mental health is an individual problem but it is far from being the case. I think it is an indicator of how our society is doing. And right now... well...

    @faltzuthewiz@eliitin-some.fi Tho I think the post is only partially correct... yes, anxiety can be caused by absolutely real threats. Still, I think, it's useful to notice that resistance to a regime in all of the global west does not yet cause you to be killed/imprisoned right away. The US ist still a place where protests can happen. Fascists are still in the means of gathering enough power to take full control, they haven't yet. There's still a chance for this power to crumble before it rly build up itself. Ofc, it'll if it's unhindered, but there is resistance going on. There are beings fighting for their freedom and the freedom of everyone else.. And I think that's worth to note. It's a situation where fascism can still fail before it starts, if there's enough resistance of both the general public and governments of individual states who still oppose fascism... In that way it is still a somewhat abstract threat and noting this can maybe help beings to focus on their individual needs when they need to, idk... And ofc, I am neither an expert on politics/fascism nor on mental health, so it's just a personal impression of someone who doesn't rly know anything about all this...

    @faltzuthewiz@eliitin-some.fi I was fortunate a few decades back to have a therapist (I struggled with major depression) who was the antithesis of "Dr" Phil and that faux optimism crowd. She helped me learn that there are "reasonable" depressions, angers, and even furies. She thought that some emotions must be experienced to be worked through. Very smart lady. Helped me greatly.

    @faltzuthewiz@eliitin-some.fi I never liked the term "mental health", as this removes all obligations from the world around me to be nicer and reduces everything to "being cured by the right medical therapy".
