We care so much that if you seem intent enough, we will remove you to a locked building where strangers will force drugs upon you.
We care so much that we will hire experts to dissect your entire identity as a human being and declare some malfunction that it's your job to try and fix so you can not want to die, because that's how much we care.
We will never really discuss the things you want to talk about because they make us very uncomfortable, but we love you and appreciate you.
Your body and mind are the same thing, and you are basically a machine who is temporarily malfunctioning until we can restore your chemical balances, which is the entirety of what you are to us.
But we love you, and we don't want you to kill yourself.
That’s exactly the problem. There are people in my life that would be devastated. It’s the only reason I haven’t done it. Even with my life improving, I still feel like I want to die unfortunately.
Parker Bailey
You might need to check your tone, otherwise you will be administered with a dose of thorzine until we can manage your dangerous outbursts.
Take comfort in knowing that your indignatious rage at being treated like a sub-human isn't real, though.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy paired with a happy little blend of mood stabilizers and antipsychotics will no doubt get you back on track.
Remember, it's not about the goal of getting what you want, but the journey that you tell yourself ends with you getting it.
As long as you believe that, we'll just keep filling scrips and keep this show going, okay?
Now stop causing problems.
Jace Cruz
What is it like to be a bat?
Adam Cooper
are you the op in the other thread? get some help king
Caleb Cruz
>people in my life that would be devastated And those people are very likely completely unprepared to deal with the issues that cause your suicidal ideations.
That's why they ship you off to us when they don't know how to make you happy, and we perform a regiment of almost entirely unrelated tasks, conversations, mood-rating charts (how much exactly do you want to die on a scale of 1-10?) and, most importantly, reduce you to a malleable lump with powerful medications before returning you.
You are free to address these concerns at any moment with staff and campus caregivers, and it will always be dismissed as less authoritative because you are the patient, and you clearly have something wrong with you because it's not normal to be so unhappy.
Isn't your happiness the most important, after all? We say so.
Brody Sanders
It is important to recognize that I am not a bat. There is a long questionnaire you should fill out, should your delusion of holding conversations with animals persist and you require admission into one of our friendly Mental Health™ facilities, and on that form it specifically asks if you believe you have magical powers.
Having conversations with animals is a magical power, and your belief in this would be seen as a symptom of a potentially life-threatening mental illness.
You might lack purpose and meaning in life, which is a common ague of the modern age. We recommend a strong spiritual grounding in any number of major religions.
Have you tried the book of Genesis?
Isaac Kelly
FUCK YOU, YOU RETARDS WERE SO FUCKING BUSY TRYING TO MAKE SHIT SEEM AS REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE, THAT YOU FORGOT TO GIVE USE SOME OF US DECENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS! >SO WHY DONT YOU FUCKS DO YOUR FUCKING JOB, AND ERASE ME FROM THIS EXISTANCE
Jaxon Cook
Aw man no wonder there is so many school shootings.
Juan Watson
There, there.
We're not monsters. We're not trying to make anything seem realistic.
We're just the ones who get to determine what it is, and we're not going to give that up without institutionalizing half of the country and watching the rest run off to die.
Because we have almost enough knowledge to be able to reliably control human behavior to the nice, safe mode of monogamous paired binary relationships that place the burden of social resources upon a two-parent household, and thus remove such a troublesome task from the government or any of the affiliated capitalist institutions that benefit from our multi-billion dollar industry.
You wouldn't want to cause the collapse of society, now would you?
No, you're a good citizen, and your will toward self-harm means you care about others more than your own well-being.
That's what keeps us going, after all.
Dylan Cooper
That's not nice. I only ever come to Jow Forums when I want to kill myself and am hoping to find threads pertaining to my current meltdown. Not this.
Charles Harris
That's a no-no statement.
We try to avoid these phrases because they are upsetting to people.
Try to refrain from such violent imagery that people will inevitably have thrust into their consciousness at any given random moment be it through a screen or from someone who has experienced one directly.
We want to maintain a safe environment here.
Brody Reyes
Remember when you told me to keep using my medication even though I was pregnant, despite my fears?
Go fuck yourself, APA. You don't know shit about shit.
Alexander Flores
Managing expectations is one of our specialties at the APA™ and affiliated Mental Health™ Corporations.
If you suffer from anxiety, you have a number of options as a patient, and should contact your local healthcare provider for a referral.
You will see these medications marketed to you constantly, but you aren't allowed to purchase any of them without consulting with one of us first because you don't really know anything at all, do you? I mean, are *you* a doctor?
No... no you're not. And you don't really know how to manage your expectations, or even if what you expect is reasonable in this world, because if it were, then you wouldn't be having these problems, would you?
FUCKING DO IT PUSSY, YOU WONT. IF YOU CAN TO DO WHATEVER BULLSHIT YOU CLAIM THAN EITHER GET RID OF MY AWKWARD BEHAVIOR, MAKE ME 6FT TALL, AND GIVE ME SOME BEST FRIENDS WHO CARE. OR FUCKING ERASE ME ALONE YOU FAGGOTS!!! I DONT GIVE A DAMN IF IT REQUIRES THE COLLAPSE OF SOCIETY, AS LONG AS THE BLOOD IS OUT OF MY HANDS THAN IT ISNT MY FUCKING BUSINESS
Kevin Thomas
There seems to be a lot of misdirected anger here.
Hormones are a natural byproduct of pregnancy, and can render you helpless to irrational fears and thoughts, so we just disregard all of them in favor of ensuring that we aren't subject to any lawsuits for malpractice if someone commits an act of egregious violence while under our care.
That's called "risk managment," and it's one of our primary concerns.
The other is patient well-being. Of course. I mean, obviously that's the most important.
But your anger probably means you have some unresolved conflict.
Have you tried an anti-anxiety medication? Perhaps an anti-depressant might be what you need, because your anger is just a manifestation of a sense of regret.
There are many options; you should consult a Mental Healthcare™ provider immediately.
Nolan Campbell
Turkey is so wholesome at Thanksgiving! Thanks for this family-friendly and heartwarming image
Robert Barnes
So... if I were to say my newfound health has caused me to realize your abuse, think I could sue you, APA?
Bentley Torres
Behavioral issues are exactly what we're here to treat.
Unfortunately, "awkward" is not a present diagnosis under the DSM-IV, nor any earlier versions, so we'll have to run a differential under your stated symptoms.
How often would you say that the following are true: never, rarely, sometimes, often, or always (you can rate this on a 1-5 scale with 1 being "never" and 5 being "always")?
1) I feel alienated by others. 2) People have to ask me what I am talking about during conversations. 3) I think I have magical powers. 4) I seem to lack purpose and direction in life. 5) I have a positive outlook.
Isaac Murphy
you fuckers already know whats wrong, but fine, ill humor the both of us.
1) 5 2) 5 3) 1 4) 5 5) 1

Fortunately for us, the APA™ is a consolidated body of individuals that is recognized as a Professional Organization™ and thus not subject to prosecution by any general protocol outside of specific treatment by a doctor™ who will be covered by malpractice insurance no doubt.
It's like a corporation that way.
Neat, huh?
But if you have a complaint, you are encouraged to bring it up with your therapist or other caregiver, and there may be a treatment schedule that will lead to your full recovery.
Jack Cooper
See... but you can sue a corporation... and you can lobby against text book and demands to use APA style by paying off teacher's unions.
Neat, huh?
Nathan Brooks
this thread a joke™
Noah Taylor
Thanks for your active participation in the process™ - that is the first step toward recovery.
It would seem from your responses that there is some time during which you do not lack purpose and direction in life.
There's where we'll start.
First, you just have to focus on that one thing that fulfills you and hope that it's not something we disagree with as being healthy.
If your doctor gives you permission to participate in this hobby/activity/practice as part of your carefully crafted treatment regiment, and if it doesn't conflict with your medications™, you will be encouraged to include these feelings of brief respite from suffering in your daily mood journals and conversations with your therapist.
We want you to be happy. At all costs.
Jaxson Campbell
K sounds good
Jayden Wright
That is an egregious libel, user.
Do you doubt that the APA™ would have a branch of specialists devoted to the Internet addiction and depersonalization that is so endemic on these dangerous boards full of confusing and threatening information?
We care enough to come to those we think are the sickest so we can provide the most direct and first-hand application of our medical expertise™.
Connor Bennett
Could Op just off themselves so we don't have to read this shitty passive aggressive sarcastic drivel? Fucking neck yourself, then. Go on. Get on with it. The system failed you because you're such a special snowflake. Is that what you wanted to hear? Good. Now fuck off.
Anthony Rodriguez
>APA style Thank you for including that: few people seem to remember that we have managed to perfect an ideal formatting for written communication that includes the proper citation for crediting the bold researchers and scientists that have built the foundation of our fine Professional Organization™. We think that it's clearly the only way papers should be published, and that print publishing of peer-reviewed scholarly journals is the method by which we can ultimately answer the deepest and most probing questions of humanity.
Aaron Davis
This is called "acting out." It's a desire to receive negative feedback because you don't think you have anything constructive to say, and have given up beforehand on contributing what might elicit a compliment.
You shouldn't sell yourself so short, user; I'm sure you have something interesting to add.
If not, it may be due to any number of neuro-chemical imbalances that we can help treat.
You should consult your primary healthcare physician and ask for a referral to one of our licensed therapists.
Kevin Edwards
fuck off back to tumblr you faggot. I thought this was some kind of cool ARG, but your really some triggered bitch with her head so far up its ass it could classify as a new sexuality. Did your supervisor in your company shoo'ed you to lurk a Djiboutian basket-weaving board while the big boys are talking?
Robert Campbell
>I thought this was some kind of cool ARG I had to google this, but it's troubling, user.
Alternate Reality Game?
Are you implying that reality is something you can manipulate or interpret outside of the industry norms that we have very carefully estabished to ensure the greatest amount of stability and well-being for The Human?
That sounds like a slippery slope toward delusion, and your Mental Health™ may be at risk. Did you realize you mistook this Advice Thread for something having to do with foreign crafts? That doesn't make sense, now does it?
I strongly suggest you take some time away from this toxic environment and go fishing, or hiking, or hug your grandmother or a puppy.
Then consult your local healthcare expert and get a referral to a therapist.
Jacob Turner
all of my grandparents are dead, and I go hiking on a daily basis. nice shilling tho ;-) >Are you implying that reality is something you can manipulate or interpret outside of the industry norms that we have very carefully estabished to ensure the greatest amount of stability and well-being for The Human? Jesus my dude, lurk more
Nathan Barnes
>ITT: OP is a hero, and APA should become an hero
Angel Gray
>tfw you were sold into human traficking as a pizza boy just so your japanese mom would stfu And he forgives his female doctors too xoxoxoxo
Ugh, this is boring. It's not a perfect system, but you have to take what you can out of it to make it work for yourself, and not get hung up on how bad the whole of it is. Sorry, not looking to fix this shit myself. I don't care and neither should you.
Brayden Sullivan
If you wanna die so much then stop talking about it.
But you are talking about it so it kind of shows you just need a hug bud.
But if nobody will hug you smoke some weed and watch samurai jack or something dude.
William Nelson
>It's not a perfect system, but you have to take what you can out of it to make it work for yourself Thank you. I couldn't agree more. It's the patient's responsibility to ensure their recovery, and we make every effort to tell them when they have reached it.
It'll happen for you, don't worry.
Jayden Ortiz
I mean, I can only care as much as the user cares. If they just post, "I want to die", I want to give them that extra nudge off the edge. If they post why, and it seems like a legit reason to off yourself I might actually try to help them. If it's stupid though...fuck em. I hope they post it on liveleak.
Adrian Miller
This is pretty much the reaction I expect if I'm ever honest about how much I think about killing myself
Sebastian King
Hey OP, I unironically believe that mental health professionals are there to help us, and that treatment is extremely beneficial for us who are mentally ill to the point where we hate ourselves. I trust my therapist and I believe I will get better in the course of a year or two.
>trusting your therapist to help you is so unbelievable you call it bait The absolute state of American Healthcare™
Benjamin Scott
I don't like how people say it's gonna be all better and all your problems are gonna work out. I learned one thing is that nobody knows the answers. The psychiatrists and authority figures you ask for advice are just as lost as you are.
