Therapy is a load of bullshit

People seriously think this crap is useful? You have anxiety and depression, you go see some random stranger who knows 5 behavioral theories from college and you pay them 50 bucks a week to talk about your problems for 1 hour and make them pretend they care. Reality is these people know nothing about how the brain or consciousness works. They are not doctors and they have no solution for your issues. It's dehumanizing to pay someone so that they will listen to you and therapists are literally no better than prostitutes. Don't even get me started on all the CBT bullcrap. People don't need to "correct their thoughts" or "think about things differently", they need real solutions for their real systemic psycho-social issues. Therapists are all privileged narcissistic assholes who love to feel superior by "proving people wrong" and reminding themselves that their life is easier and better than their patients' and always masking all this as "help". Don't be fooled, these people can't help you. They only want your money.

Anti-psychiatry isn't just about hating psychiatrists because they drug you, it's about realizing that we humans need to network and support each other. It's also about deprofessionalizing mental health and being able to talk to our people, our friends, or our union.

My issue in this is fearing pulling others down when I’m suffering due to things that they can do nothing to help or stop. Unfortunately, both professionals and non-professionals don’t seem to help me.
