You’ve got to stop proving yourself to mental healthcare workers, it’s exhausting. The mental health system pretends to help you, but it doesn’t. Their goal is to monitor you. In order to keep you hooked and exposing everything about yourself, it runs an intermittent reinforcement game that wires you into full-blown validation seeking behavior. They hijack your narrative and make you over explain, session after session. They make you addicted to patching holes in the narrative they themselves puncture so you will leak even more thoughts, feelings and secrets. You’re making a fool of yourself, pouring out rage, pain and tears in front of a manipulator/police in white coat who gets paid to pretend they care. Therapists calling in a psychiatrist into the office is not a mild thing. This is the moment they (often voluntary and by manipulation) try to chemically restrain you and sell it as medicine. They treat behavior, not feelings. Stop seeking validation. Your story is yours alone to carry. Share only what is necessary, and only when it serves a clear purpose like securing food, housing or money when you cannot function. Every time you speak, make sure the benefit outweighs the risk.
