Discussion Would anyone like to be open and discuss psychology to help us hopefully improve/understand our situations?

[Viceroy]

Hi. Recently I've been doing a lot of thinking about how thoughts and feelings can be intertwined with each other and become messy and confusing, leading to long term habits, behaviours and negative life outcomes ultimately leading to problems that cause or contribute to our wanting to CTB.

Im trying to get a really in depth discussion group going. If thats just me and someone else, or many people doesn't matter to me. A while ago I knew a trans mtf person who I had a good connection with. He and I began to know and trust each other and ultimately we got to the root of his interest in being trans mft and I also got to the root of some of my problems which we both fixed and improved our lives. He realized that actually he was not trans and instead it was just a defence mechanism over his negative experiences of being male, and I realized that my addiction was caused by escaping the pain of negative social experiences

Seeing as therapy is often a load of shit, lets be honest, wouldn't it be better to find some real friends on here to be open and think deep with? Therapy is only for an hour a week and cost money. Me and my friend used to talk for hours and it was all free and loving and trusting. Lets fact it, how easy is it to be truly open with a therapist? Its not. Revealing your deepest thoughts and feelings with therapists can be very hard. Hopefully people on here can befriend and trust one another to actually do this.

If anyone is interested in this but also quite weary and unsure then I could begin by sharing my inner most thoughts and feelings. One of you may find a lot of similarities or insights that I have not yet realized. Its often easier to spot other's problems than our own.

Recently I've been a big believer in things like psychoanalyst and such things because of several revelations I've had. Getting these took some time, but all in needed was some real honest inward looking. Most of my problems have been due to health problems, but my psychology over the years has been battered down and ended up being unhelpful to the situation. Im a firm believer that looking inward and having others to help us with our deepest fears and problems is the way forward in life and improvement.

This sounds like a good idea to me! I find psychology and understanding people quite interesting. I'm sure that us humans have more things in common than we think, despite our obvious differences.

Here are some things I'm investigating right now:






I'm still working on the playlist of lectures. I'm on the Limbic System lecture I think?




Hope this helps. It's been so for me.

Think this is a great idea

I think that if we all just learnt more about psychological theory and why therapies work for example it could be great to help us all.
Videos can be easier to watch if depressed but like reading stuff is much better in my experience and that can be anything.
What therapy do you mean when you say it is a load of shit?? because we can start with that as a question to probe deeper and deeper to see where it leads us.
Be careful of a information overload guys and try to learn what is most relevant.
I would not really suggest neurology largely relevant to start with because you could just learn theory first of psychology and later on try to understand neurology.
I did therapy once where the teacher was trying to explain the neurology of a skill to a group and it felt like such a waste of time for everyone.

I like her. The videos aren't too long and she explains quite nicely. The Holistic Psychologist:

One thing to consider which increases depressive symptoms is b12 deficiency.
On the other end ssri's can have a negative impact and when people take them to help depressive episodes for some it makes them worse.

I just think I should say this and no offense but it is bugging me.
Antidepressants can have different effects on different people so please try to mention that when you make claims others could use to discourage themselves from ever tryingto get help.

Understood which is why I said they "can" have a negative effect. Some people find them very useful but like all things... each individual has different responses to them

Total meme for me he he but sorry for coming off rude I just have seen others poo poo meds as a joke despite them being sometimes effective.
