Therapy vs Hobbies

Every other commercial is a damn therapy session. Are we this soft as a society where everyone needs a therapist instead of focusing on hobbies ? The commercial where the douche guy is like my friends told me to take up golf, but he's sitting there like "oh my God I'd rather talk to a therapist instead"
Pathetic

Seek help. Find a good therapist.

I’ve never been to a therapist, not have I seen that commercial. Would be nice to have someone actually listen to what’s on your mind, if that’s what they actually do.

Hobbies take you away from the world a good therapist give you the tools to meet the world head on AND it makes your hobbies time more fulfilling because the end doesn't have the dreed of returning to the real world.
For years I bristled at the idea of therapy but after a particularly bad year marked with death and severe illness in my close family, building a house and major upheavals at my firm on the prodding of my wife I relented. It was the best thing I ever did. I was given the tools to manage all the issues and I felt like a weight had been lifted off me and every facet of my life was better. I have since transitioned to a colleague of my original therapists who specializes in performance coaching. I am objectively and subjectively better at my profession and my stress level is significantly lower.

Are you saying any one who smokes weed can't have strong mental health? That's a slippery slope there bud
I agree with your OP though. I think there's an incredible amount of mental health issue created by peoples ego. People see other people on social media and feel incomplete and since there's nothing real to worry about they spiral. Live has become fake and too easy
I think some real hard labor and deleting instagram could cure about 80% of teen mental health in this country.
Obviously therapy is needed for some people like soldiers or new moms with ptsd or even anyone who has experienced real loss. That can be incredibly difficult.
But for the fricking idiot 15 year old that wants to chop off his dick and go by "xe"
That kid doesn't need therapy. That one needs an arse whipping and some blisters on his hands from work

This 100%
Facebook creates this image of everyone that everything is great and perfect and look at me my life is perfect. But that’s not real life. People look at peoples post and compare their lives to Facebook versions of other peoples lives and get depressed.
For me, if I have a bad week at work, I’ll bust arse on the weekend doing yard work or some kind of project to clear my mind. Works everytime

he was smoking pot to cope w/his issues smart guy
quote:
The champion swimmer told Mic that the first time he realized he was grappling with mental health issues was when he was around 18 or 19 years old, but he didn’t tell his coaches or his parents what he was dealing with. “It could have been earlier, I don’t know, but I think that was my first real, like I like to say acting out, like going crazy,” Phelps said.
“I probably brushed [it] under the rug and then just got right back into the pool and what I was doing in the pool [would] just distract anything else that was going on. So that was probably when I really started just stuffing everything down and not letting it come up because I just I didn’t know what it would do. I didn’t know how I would react to dealing with it.”
Phelps said that, as an elite athlete, he felt pressure to hide the fact that he was struggling. “I never said anything to anybody. I basically just carried it on and tried to handle it myself,” Phelps told Mic. “It’s probably just because I’m an athlete and we’re supposed to be — I don’t want to say perfect — but we’re not supposed to have problems.”
In 2014, Phelps was arrested and charged with a DUI — it was his second. At that point, he had already made headlines for a leaked photo showing him smoking marijuana. Phelps told Mic that his substance use had to do with his unresolved mental health issues. “I just self-medicated because I was just running from whatever I didn’t want to face,” he said. “I’ve gotten two DUIs.”
But things changed once Phelps started opening up publicly about his own depression in 2016. Now he’s an advocate who encourages others to seek treatment — and he is calling on the U.S. Olympic Committee to do more to support athletes who are struggling, and to pay attention to their athletes’ mental health, not just their physical conditioning.
“I’d like to see them actually care about it,” Phelps said when asked what changes he would want to see from the USOC. “I’ve never seen anything that shows that they care. And you know, I’ve been on the national team for 20 years. I haven’t seen it once, you know, and it’s, I mean, I guess in 2016 we had one therapist that traveled with us, but that was the first time I’ve ever seen it.”

They want you to think so, so you'll have to pay a therapist.

It isn’t a depressant, it doesn’t fit any characteristics of the definition.

Smoking weed is a good way to cope through shite without seeking a therapist. Going on a car ride, playing golf, fishing, collecting shite...etc

Sometimes I think I need a therapist to help me manage all of my hobbies.
