When to Start Therapy: 6 Signs It's Time to Seek Help | Solh Wellness

Most individuals don't have a lot of knowledge about mental health, and even those who do sometimes have trouble recognising when to get treatment. They frequently wonder if they should wait to take action to improve their mental health or if their situation is serious enough. They argue for a long time about whether to ask for assistance and when to hold off.

The general warning indications that it might be time to think about mental health therapy are as follows:

Discomfort that Persists: Therapy may be helpful if you have persistent emotional discomfort, such as depression, anxiety, or severe stress that interferes with your ability to carry out daily tasks.

Major Life Events: Dealing with big life events like a divorce, a loved one's death, a job loss, or a substantial shift can be challenging. The use of counselling throughout these changes may provide guidance and support.

Relationship Problems: Counselling can offer a secure environment to explore communication skills, address problems, and improve relationship dynamics if interactions with your spouse, family members, or friends are frequently tense.

Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms: If you find that you frequently participate in unhealthy coping mechanisms like substance addiction, self-harm, or destructive behaviour, therapy may be able to help.

Lack of Self-Esteem or Identity Issues: Therapy can assist you in exploring and improving your sense of self, which will improve your overall wellness. Whether you struggle with issues of identity, worth, or poor self-esteem.

Interference with Daily Functioning: Therapy may be able to help you restore stability and improve functioning if your mental health issues are significantly affecting your performance at work, school, or in other important aspects of your life.

Conclusion

The right time of counselling initiation is debatable and ambiguous. However, you should seek counselling as soon as you're prepared. It doesn't matter if you think it's too early or too late to start counselling; what matters most is your own level of readiness and willingness. Remember that choosing to go to therapy is a personal decision, and that doing so when you're ready can improve your mental health.

Me talking to my friends normally as if I didn't just search up and save every toe curling, sheets gripping, jail worthy, mesmerizing, beautiful, majestic, pretty, adorable, perfect, cute, I don't deserve eyes, shining, loving, if he was the brightest start I'd still look at him, lawless fanart😇 (also maybe a bit of bottom lawless....)

Idk the name of the trope but GOD I love characters who start out innocent, and then something traumatic ends up corrupting them and they become an antagonist, but then they find someone willing to give them love and friendship and they’re able to heal :) Like, Skull Kid Majora’s Mask? Spinel Steven Universe? Give me more of that shit

EDIT: Looks like the closest trope is “Heal the Cutie”? Idk if that’s it tho since I’m thinking of arcs that specifically require another character helping the “corrupted” character heal

me when the emotionally repressed character is revealed to have had something happen in their childhood that was completely out of their control but changed them in a way they can never come back from

[blink-sugar]

Recently had the realisation that the characters based on me in a book about a childhood game was given a fate I fear more then anything and it's definitely a reflection on how I feel a strong lack of control and sense of worth in my own real life.

i love using cannibalism as a metaphor for love and obsession. why? because there is nothing more pure than becoming your loved one. true love is depicted as getting married and living the perfect life with the person you love, but it isn’t enough. you have to become one with them, even if you end up dying. and i feel like that’s a beautiful metaphor like?? yesss babe love me truly and eat me! you want your body and soul to become one, nothing can beat that. i want you to not love me, but to be me.

I recently had to do a project in one of my psych classes, and man, I knew that CBT was used for every little thing, but seeing over and over, "do CBT! CBT is the best for every mental illness!" was so jarring. I'm absolutely biased because of my own experiences, but I just don't think it's as universal a treatment model as it's touted.

If you didn't benefit from CBT, it's not because you're lazy or didn't try hard enough or lacked intelligence or foresight into your own needs. Frankly, it's a therapy model that (I think) shouldn't be the only readily-accessible model and among the only therapy models covered by insurance. Some of us should not be treated in a CBT model and that's okay. It's not a sign of poor character or unreasonable demands, and if you don't think it's a model that works for you, then it's your right to express that!

I think when people think of mental illness and what helps, especially with things like anxiety and depression, the treatment involves pushing yourself. Pushing yourself to get out of bed, to exercise, to take a shower, to go out in public, to order your own food from the cashier, etc.

And because the mental health movement has grown so much, people think that's the default of ALL illnesses. That the only way someone will get better is if they push themselves. That practice makes perfect. That you'll become more comfortable or strong over time the more you do something.

But what people need to realize is, with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, pushing yourself in most cases is DETRIMENTAL. Pushing yourself past your limits can lead to flare ups or further injury. That's why it's important to know your limits, how certain activities may affect your condition, and learn how to either adapt or get help to complete the activity in question.

Also, most of us are already pushing ourselves. Most of us don't have access to the help or equipment we need. Most of us live in places where we frequently encounter inaccessible obstacles. Most of us NEED to rest.

So please don't try to be our physical therapists or doctors. There are people specifically trained to help us navigate our own conditions and limitations. There are people trained to help us strengthen our body's resilience without causing flare-ups or injury. Do not tell us "it'll be good for you" or "you need the exercise" when we say something is too heavy or too far or when we say we need our mobility aid(s). Your friend with depression may need to be encouraged to get out of bed, but your friend with chronic illness definitely doesn't.

Respect our rest.

Steph's Year of Recovery

So! Danny noticed that a new face had made it's way into town. Two new faces actually, an older lady known as Dr Leslie, and a girl about his age called Steph.

He first met them when he was at the hospital for one of his parents. They had stood too close to an explosion again, and he met them while he was in the waiting Area.

Dr Leslie was a strict but obviously caring older woman, who seemed to be the one taking care of Steph as a kind of maternal figure, or maybe more like an Aunt. She greeted him simply and then walked away to talk with the Secretary, leaving him to talk to Steph.

Steph was a blond girl in a Wheelchair, and he could see bandages piking out of her clothes as he talked to her. She explained that she had been in an Accident a few weeks ago that left her wheelchair bound for a while, and that she had come to Amity for their surprisingly good Medical Centers.

He and Steph got along really well, and by the end of it he asked her for her Number so they could continue talking later. They stayed in touch, and when she was finally permitted to leave the Hospital, he introduced her to his friends. They all got along like a House on Fire, both figuratively and in one memorable case very literally (Vlad had pissed them off okay!)

Eventually Steph recovered enough that she moved from a Wheelchair to Crutches, and their shenanigans got even more chaotic (Vlad hadn't even pissed them off, this time was just for fun)

The only thing Danny could complain about was the fact that Steph was hiding something from them.

She said that she had been in an Accident a while ago, which was why they had come to Amity in the first place. But Danny knew it was more than that.

He could sense lingering traces of Death coming from her after all.

...

Steph honestly loved her current life.

Sure she had lost everything, her home, her health, her friends, her life, but she had gained new things too! Like Danny and the Gang! They were honestly some of the best friends she had ever had, and for some reason they just clicked with her instantly.

Danny was interesting and funny, Sam was vegan and a badass, Tucker was smart and witty, they all fit with her personality perfectly! It almost felt like she bad been friends with them for years. (She ignored the way her heart skipped a beat when she saw them)

But she still couldn't shake the sense that they were hiding something from her.

She knew it had something to do with the Ghost Problem in the town. And wasn't that a kicker, there was a whole Supernatural Ghost Outbreak in this Town and nobody knew about it. Dr Leslie had said that Amity was off the map enough to hide from Bruce, but she hadn't mentioned it was hidden from the Justice League itself!

Danny, Sam, and Tucker definitely knew more about it than they let on however. Whenever a Ghost Attack would happen, at least one of them would rush off with some practiced excuse and return after the Ghost Attack was over all dirty. She could guess what was going on, and she really didn't like it.

(This had killed her, she had died doing what they were doing, she didn't want to lose them)

Eventually she had to confront them, coincidentally on the same day they decided to confront her.

"Are you Vigilantes?" / "Did you die?"

"..."

"What?" / "What?"

i adore Maruki as a character because he's simultaneously the most relatable depressing character that will make you cry with empathy, and the goofiest wettest cat loser in the game like what do you mean youre a licensed therapist and your first response to trauma is to brainwash a girl, project ur relationship issues onto a 17 yr old boy, and then rule the world in a golden leotard? bro went from 0 to 100 so fast??? anyway he's like 30% of the reason why p5r works as well as it does
