A list of pleasurable activities! I mean, come on, it's pretty obvious really. I suppose it's easy to think too conventionally, but it's the "call a suicide hotline" option isn't it? I mean have been wondering how Sue has been doing since "the move" and it has been a while since I last called and got through to her.@Flippy @sue1984 DBT strikes again!
Wave your brain bye-bye & buy, buy, buy! Crippled by depression? Go into debt buying crap you don't really need, you're guaranteed to succeed!
Is this "workbook" sponsored by Amazon?
Honestly! I wish people would stop confusing mental illness with cognitive deficiency!
It has kinda made me want to go and get a haircut....so........there's that. :-/It's truly un-fucking-believable what passes for therapy...
Yikes! I'm not sure that's what they had in mind when they wrote it!But it's true.
I am finding it pleasurable buying N from D on the internet.
The mundane masses and their trainers are the ones that are actually cognitively deficient. This could explain how they gain "therapeutic benefits" from such frivolous, and even detrimental, activities.Honestly! I wish people would stop confusing mental illness with cognitive deficiency!
Anything pulled straight out of a mental health enforcer's ass, including their actual feces, could be totted as therapy, regardless of inanity or toxicity.It's truly un-fucking-believable what passes for therapy...
Haha thanks for the tag wouldn't of seen this , don't really venture to the recovery. Probably should tho. I have my next session Friday , going to be really fun telling her I can't do the leaf thing again. I'm fucking allergic to trees anyway@Flippy @sue1984 DBT strikes again!

Buy a wig or toupee?What if a person doesn't have any hair to cut? Do they just get a head massage instead
Hmmm, thanks for posting the screen grabs. Its weird reading through it. Half of the suggestions would not be even slightly appropriate for me as they simply aren't things I'm interested in. I have a wide range of things that would call hobbies, they appear quite esoteric to others apparently. I've quite a long list of things I could be doing but I feel like shit doing them.This is always the case. Even in a suicide thoughts workbook by a PHD had similar situations. Suggested dating, drawing a picture of yourself being loved by others, suggested in the book itself you are loved. Pic related are some things from it. Demotivates you to try with these people when they reveal what they are actually capable of and it's very little. They have no special answer or fundamental way of working with you against suicide for a better life, only helping people who are overwhelmed and simply need to focus on the life they already enjoy but get upset with. Before getting into it a decent amount of PHDs also joined in to talk about how good it was, one of them being one of the leading researchers into suicide prevention.
Sorry if it's out of order, screenshotting is a little tedious and are so is organizing with odd file names.
Also forgot, but the bit about simply "overlooking" people who would actually support you is a bit of joke, to me at least. I've overlooked nothing, I was unschooled with no education with a mother who threatened with me a psych ward and hit me with the "people in africa have it worse than you" fallacy when I tried leaving at sixteen, later she blamed it on teenage hormones and then never brought up anything related to suicide again.
I was on the regular screamed at, only a small break with that when I attempted for a about a week. Friends, family, and the fucking clergy of all people are not good for talking about suicide. I find myself not desiring interaction much on the internet or meat world regardless -- having grown used to lack of interaction and just lacking things to say to others. But there's obviously others other than myself, such as people like KuriGohan who have been let down time and time again by others including the "physicians" that are suggested in this image.
It seems their assumption is fundamentally the capacity for enjoyment is there, but just overwritten by a bit of pain and just simply trying these things over and over until you've exhausted the list will unlock enjoyment. It's not shocking to me it wouldn't be appropriate for you, it's likely not for many on the forum with long term issues or issues of severity.Hmmm, thanks for posting the screen grabs.

The other issue is that because what I say I'd like to be doing isn't on their list, I basically get accused of "wrong think". There's the usual "oh but doing these things will make you feel better". Well no, they may make some increasingly hypothetical person feel better, but not me.
I cant seem to get them to understand that when I'm right in the throws of severe depression, I may be able to physically *do* something for a while but I don't *feel* good or better doing it. Insisting on it is counterproductive because I feel worse about my inability to enjoy it. Then my mood will eventually climb high enough, just enough to allow me to enjoy something a little but it seems, for now this only lasts a short time compared to say 3-4 years ago.
I think I get it, I should not be "so unusual" . Apparently only Cindi Lauper is permitted to do that.
I totally agree, what you say seems to tally with their rhetoric!It seems their assumption is fundamentally the capacity for enjoyment is there, but just overwritten by a bit of pain and just simply trying these things over and over until you've exhausted the list will unlock enjoyment.

Wow, this list of "emotional uplifts" is so incredibly enlightening. I never realized all these Activities were out there just waiting to be done. I could have avoided 15 years of depression by simply listening to a podcast or putting on my favorite outfit!This is always the case.

Didn't even know there was a name for it
I think this "therapy" may have overlooked people with Aphantasia. Not everyone can imagine silly little leaves on rivers! "Typical Mind Fallacy" strikes again!
a leg wax.
Really??? Talk about freedom of speechOuch. Sorry I can't respond to your comment in the astrology fan's thread on the main forum, they blocked me the second I suggested they ask questions not related to suicide in Offtopic
You just gave me an idea for a more satisfying, therapeutic activity: tying down the assigned mental health enforcer, stripping them nude, and removing every hair off their body with duct tape. Bonus points for covering one of their ears with the business end of a megaphone and shouting phrases like "Getting any therapeutic benefits, yet?" or "Why are you screaming? You're the one choosing to feel pain!" after ripping the hair out of their more sensitive bits.also a hair cut and a leg wax.
tree hugging does what exactly? What taking children places even mean?View attachment 84566
