    I wonder if it could have anything to do with this apocalyptic hellscape we’re living in courtesy of the ruling class?

    I submit that’s it’s impossible for us to have reached peak therapy when there’s such a shortage of mental health professionals available.

      What’s worse is that those of us who are qualified, have the degrees, were working before, and are reentering the field, are stuck behind delayed bureaucratic bullshit. Like all of my stuff has gone through, and it’s been 6 months. I can’t start working until they take it to a board meeting and then vote on approving all of the applications at once. It’s Fucking stupid.

    I had a call with a government agency recently about benefits. I was asked why I didn’t seek therapy.

    I told the truth. My benefits did not include therapy. It was not financially viable for me to seek therapy.

    Government worker had nothing in their script for that and simply said nothing and moved on to the next question.

    It is maddening that we as a society are expected to play dumb about the shortcomings of our government.
