    Being honest is much more effective. Feels scary. Fear is never a good guide.

        This. The ambulance rides are not free.

        Every time I have been 5150 I’ve come out slightly better mentally but much worse financially. I was stressed about finances before I went in and received a new bunch of bills when I got out.

          I wasn’t talking about finances at all, all that stuff doesn’t cost anything extra here. I was talking about the loss of freedom from literally being locked up.

          Adding bills to that definitely adds insult to injury, though.

        Bullshiiiit. Went to therapy and bruteforced myself, basicallly traeting therapist as any other doc. Learned a lot about myself and opened many doors, some of which helped me drag myself out of miserable state even after my funds ran out.

        My sis did the same, and more because she also bruteforced fixing her friend circle during this dropping roughly 2/3 of people she knew out of her life just like that. Also in hella better place.

          I feel like you misunderstood what I said. Maybe I could have said it in a clearer way, but I mean that the people who need therapy the most are the ones who are not even confident enough to share trauma with the therapist.

            We needed therapy and both went for the bruteforce tactic. I may had been a bit aggressive in my response though, sorry. But it was a bit too easy to interpret as “if you’re confident enough to be honest, you don’t need therapy”.

            I know now it is not what you meant, just how I’ve read it.

        Not necessarily. A good therapist can foster an environment where you can feel safe to be honest. Or, at least, safer than you feel with friends and family.
