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.

Siiighs.... here's Crumb's official little design page thing after a few days of rotating them. They are wearing generic clothes in the second image (and doodles) so i can show off their weird limbs. Not quite just human anymore but also nowhere close to divine. Warped by the rift into something they can't recognize as themselves- at least not yet.

Worst vacation ever, 0/10 wouldn't recommend to my worst enemies.

It always gets me excited when anyone mentions Tim’s neck scar from the warehouse explosion!! In the comic panel it looks severe but I never see anyone talk about it. Do you have any thoughts or headcanons about it?

YESSS tim neck scar enjoyers rise up!!!

as for thoughts and headcanons, i have some some vague ones yes! i think in general it's some severe scarring that took several months of skin graft operations and such to help heal. it's part of why the rr cowl is integral to him, imo - keeping the back of his head and neck covered and protected becomes a priority while it's still delicate and healing. and also he just generally wants to minimize exposed skin after that explosion. it prob leaves him with some hypertrophic scarring that's eventually covered by hair again, but more visible on his neck (part of why i also hc that he tends to wear high-collared shirts and turtlenecks + grows out his hair afterwards).

also alongside this, for the gays among us: i generally hc kon going to emt classes (like, as kon-el/superboy/supernova) because after last stand of new krypton, he's like man i could use ttk in medical contexts to save people all the time if only i knew how. so he shows up to a class like hi i have telekinesis please teach me what to do with it. and alongside that once he figures out that tim's got some significant scarring that sometimes locks up and gives him mobility issues or pain, kon also slides into an occupational therapist's office like heyyyy could you mayhaps give me some pointers on how i could use my fabulous Tactile Telekinesis to help out my best bro I MEAN a hypothetical guy who has this sort of scar-related muscle tension. tim finds this vaguely mortifying at first but melts So fast because it turns out that kon's ttk neck massages are godly.

BILLDUMP TIME (with transparency, because I can). Don't mind me, I'm just yeeting my goofy art at some way more talented individuals out of nowhere and then hauling ass back to the security of being a weird silent lurker ahaha

@tesscourtes and @beccadrawsstuff, respectively! These two Bills make a little prism of sorts together because of their recent crossovers on Patreon~ :3c Speaking of which, I highly recommend supporting both these artists! They do fantastic work! (TessCourtes and Beccup)

@qoolk on the left, and @monobmp on the right! I am such a sucker for these outfits~ OuO Go and check these two out, their art is phenomenal!!! >u<

@1spooky2me The most difficult Bill of the lot for me to draw, ahaha... Their art is so incredibly consistent and dynamic, I am, a little envious <:,) A little envious, but mostly impressed, so go look at their amazing art, what are you waiting for

And finally, @ckret2, whose writing is sublimely in-character and just a delight to read - they're a great artist, as well! I simply Could Not resist drawing their Bill in this ridiculous incredible and very fashionable pink feather dress, even though he only briefly wears it in their fic, so I also did a little bonus doodle of him in his standard hoodie to make up for it. XD (Also, as far as I'm concerned, Bill and Mabel were both correct in that lime green accessories make the dress Much Better.)

This is just a small selection of the human Bill designs I enjoy. I may draw and post more later on, who knows! Feel free to reblog with some neat Bill designs, either your own or by other folks - if any of the designs particularly call to me, I'll add them to the little list I've got going~ :D (Alternatively, if you really like my stuff and want me to draw something specific, you could...mmm...perhaps, commission me...? OuO)

Also I'm tagging Billford because uhhhh yeah, sorry not sorry, every single one of these Bills is getting shipped with Ford by the artists in some way or another, lmao

English is not my first language.

When you first found the boy, he was silent. He didn’t cry or speak, just stared at you with wide, curious eyes. He was small and delicate, with a bright, radiant smile that lit up his face whenever you looked at him. It was that smile that made you heart ache with a desire to protect him.

“ You need a name. ” you murmured, brushing his soft hair back. “ How about…Kalim? ”

He tilted his head, the smile growing wider as though he understood.

“ Yes. ” you said softly, you own lips curling into a smile. “ That’s your name now, Kalim. ”

For the first few days, he didn’t speak a word. He communicated with gestures, pointing at what he wanted or tugging at you sleeve when he needed you attention. you was patient, teaching him slowly how to talk , walk , and understand the world around him.

The first time he spoke, it was your name. “ y/n ” he said, his voice small and hesitant but filled with warmth. Tears welled in you eyes as you hugged him tightly, overwhelmed by pride and love.

Kalim was a bright, cheerful child who could bring life to even the dullest of days. His optimism was infectious, and his laughter filled you small home with joy.

“ Look, y/n! ” he called one morning, holding up a crayon drawing he had made. It was a mess of colors, with two stick figures in the center. “ That’s you and me! ”

You smiled, ruffling his hair. “ It’s beautiful, Kalim. You’re such an artist. ”

He beamed, his cheeks glowing with pride.

Despite his sweetness, Kalim had a stubborn streak. He didn’t like being told no, and he had a way of wearing you down with his persistent optimism.

“ y/n, can we have ice cream for dinner? ” he’d ask, his wide eyes shining with hope.

“ No, Kalim. Ice cream isn’t dinner. ” you reply, trying to stay firm.

“ But why not? Ice cream is the best! ”

“ Because you need real food to grow big and strong. ”

He pout for a moment, then break into a grin. “ Okay, but can we have ice cream after dinner? ”

You couldn’t help but laugh. “ We’ll see. ”

One of Kalim’s favorite places was the park. You had been hesitant to take him at first, worried he wouldn’t fit in with the other children. But to you surprise, he made friends easily, his boundless energy and friendly nature drawing others to him like a magnet.

“ Look at him go. ” you murmured, watching Kalim run around with a group of kids. He was laughing, his face glowing with pure happiness.

From that day on, the park became their weekend ritual. Kalim would spend hours playing on the swings , climbing the jungle gym , and chasing his new friends around. Sometimes, he’d drag you into his games, insisting you join him on the slides or spin him on the merry-go-round.

“ You’re the best, y/n! ” he say, hugging your tightly after a long day of play.

But Kalim’s stubbornness sometimes got the better of him. When he wanted something, he wouldn’t take no for an answer, no matter how gently you tried to explain why it wasn’t possible.

It started like any other weekend. You of them headed to the park, Kalim skipping ahead as he chattered excitedly about what games he wanted to play.

But when you arrived, you noticed the construction signs posted around one of your favorite spots—a small, quiet area where you often sat together to watch the sunset.

“ Kalim, we can’t go over there today. ” you said, pointing to the warning signs. “ It’s not safe. ”

“ But why not? ” he asked, his smile faltering.

“ They’re doing construction,” you explained gently. “ It’s dangerous. ”

Kalim frowned, his stubborn streak kicking in. “ But I want to go there! It’s the best spot in the park! ”

“ No, Kalim. ” you said firmly. “ If you’re stubborn about this, I’ll be very upset. I might even stop loving you for a little while. ”

His eyes widened, and for a moment, you thought he understood. He stayed by you side for the rest of the day, but you could tell he was sulking.

Later, as you were getting ready to leave, you realized Kalim was no longer by you side. Panic surged through your as you looked around, calling his name.

Then you heard it—his laughter, coming from the restricted construction area.

“ Kalim! ” you shouted, running toward the sound. you heart pounded as you spotted him playing near a pile of steel beams, completely unaware of the danger around him.

“ Kalim, get away from there! ” you cried, you voice shaking with fear.

He turned to you, his face lighting up with a smile. “ y/n, look! I found the best spot! ”

Before you could respond, a creaking noise filled the air. your eyes darted upward, and you stomach dropped as you saw one of the steel beams teetering precariously above him.

“ KALIM! ” you screamed, running toward him.

Without thinking, you threw yourself forward, shoving him out of the way just as the beam came crashing down.

The last thing you heard was Kalim’s scream, filled with terror and heartbreak, before everything went black.

When Kalim opened his eyes, he saw you lying beneath the beam, you body still and lifeless. For a moment, he couldn’t comprehend what had happened. Then the realization hit him like a tidal wave.

“ y/n! ” he cried, his voice breaking as he crawled toward you. “ Wake up! Please, wake up! ”

He clung to you lifeless body, sobbing uncontrollably. His cries echoed through the park, drawing the attention of nearby adults who rushed to the scene.

When the paramedics arrived, they had to pry him away from you, his small hands clinging desperately to you clothes.

“ No! Don’t take her! ” he screamed, his voice raw with anguish. “ She’s mine! She promised she’d never leave me! ”

But no amount of pleading could him bring you back.

Kalim never returned to the park after that day. The place that had once been filled with laughter and joy was now a haunting reminder of his loss.

He blamed himself for what happened, replaying you words over and over in his mind. “ If you’re stubborn, I might stop loving you. ”

“ I’m sorry, y/n... ” he would whisper to himself at night, tears streaming down his face. “ I’ll be good now. I promise.. ”

As he grew older, Kalim’s grief twisted into something darker. He became obsessed with the idea of making you proud, of proving that he could be the person you always wanted him to be. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape the guilt that consumed him.

In his mind, you was always with him—a ghostly presence that both comforted and tormented him. He lived for you memory, clinging to the hope that, in some way, you could still see him.

And though the world moved on, Kalim remained trapped in the past, his heart forever broken by the loss of the one person he loved more than anything.

bamf Crystal but it’s not a psychic thing, she just packs a serious punch

[galaxy-fleur]

Revisited RER recently, and I genuinely love Chris' and Rebecca's relationship so much... Gonna ramble about them for a bit here.

Despite also being totally out of his depths here, Chris is incredibly tactile and comforting with her. He has always cared for those around him, but I can't help but think that he does his best to be calm and reassuring around Becca because she's the youngest and the least experienced of them all. And yet she's stuck in this nightmare, too. The way he puts a hand on her shoulder and encourages her attempts at healing Richard with a simple but meaningful: 'Richard needs you now.'

Those words are merely an acknowledgement of her skills, no iron pressure behind them. I like to think that he expresses his belief in her here, hopefully to help her feel less scared and anxious. It's the least he can do, really. And sometimes all you need is someone to just show that they believe in you so you can keep going with no shaky hands. It also reflects on his trust in reliance on her in future installments, too. I think it's kinda sweet how Chris believed in her and encouraged her from the moment she was this fresh recruit, stuck in an unforseen situation. No wonder they are so close and soft with each other in Vendetta.

Him immediately blaming himself for Richard's death, obviously having no idea how to process it quite yet, and then Rebecca being just as lost on how to answer, because what can you even say in this situation? It really rings home how they are both so out of their element here. They are not seasoned operatives we are used to seeing, they are just two people who are forced to deal with something they've never encountered before and try to process all the loss they are hopeless to stop.

I think it's incredibly telling that Rebecca's initial response is to focus on what she should do next, whereas Chris's is to blame himself. Both are obviously shaken by Richard's death: Chris because he couldn't do anything stop it, and Rebecca because all her efforts on healing him were in vain. But they express it differently in the moment. It's also painful how Chris can't even look at her, until he switches into 'It's my fault' line of thinking. Poor guy has been shouldering this kinds of losses since day 1. I do think it also falls in line with how they respond to loss in future installments, too. Very neat to think about.

And then Rebecca just breaking down in tears after that short attempt at laughing it off, and Chris just putting a hesitant gentle hand on her shoulder as he lets her cry it out with no words being said. While it made super sad, it's also a nice contrast to them not looking at each other in previous instance vs standing face to face this time around.

Funnily enough, I don't think he's being aloof or insensitive here, as I've seen some say—quite the contrary. As I said above, what could you even possibly say in this kind of circumstance that wouldn't be, at most, a flat-out lie? But what he can do is just be there for her. Which is what he does. And that: 'be strong, Rebecca' is simple but genuine nonetheless. They must remain strong, at least until they are safe and out of there. Still, he doesn't try to stop her from crying, he only says this once she quiets down. It's really touching of him, honestly. He lets her express her distress and then encourages her when she's done.

And this lil' pat on her shoulders and 'Just stay with me, kid' is so cute! Not to mention the thumbs up afterwards :3

It's a sort of small but comforting gesture that probably goes a long way to someone in Rebecca's position. I can't help but think if that's Chris' big brother instincts at work, which is ever cuter to think about. He's a great superior to be around.

Also, it's kinda neat how the way he touches her shoulder changes throughout the game. First soft, gentle touches, and then more assured and encouraging pats by the end there. Both are good, but I still love that tiny detail.

As a bonus, the fact that Chris is the only one awake between the three of them during the helicopter ride also strikes me as kind of interesting. Both Jill and Rebecca are resting and allowing themselves to doze off, but he just stays staring off in silence, obviously having a lot on his mind. Whether he stays up to watch over the two or because he can't bring himself to relax, it's sort of a cool detail.

i'm sooo sick of dumbing myself down for people. you either get me as the whole insane pink glittery package or leave

[touchlikethesun]

i do think there is something wrong with me because i am realising that my reactions to some of the things that luo binghe did because of his love for shen qingqiu seem to be relatively muted compared to others’. like don’t get me wrong, luo binghe definitely did that like he for sure went there but like at the same time i think he’s so fucking valid and maybe if people just stopped judging the kid for being the teensiest bit obsessed and took the time to understand his hangups then they’d see that too
