It has already been tried. Many, many times. It didn’t work. And in the final analysis, the therapists all ended up being bigger crazier freaks than any us ever were (or considered being) . . . They (the therapists) are all Mehmbers here now too, of course.
If you’ve read enough of this forum to make this determination of our combined need of psychiatric assistance, and you have the audacity to post and tell us all about it - well then, all I have to say is:
Don’t you love how the psyche professions can’t tell you what they are doing, how it works, how their practices help to achieve anything, , what to expect during and after patienthood, what a likely end result might be, or anything else semi-useful?
In order words, they can’t answer any of the questions any patient should be fully informed about before beginning any sort of treatment.
They can’t answer, because they don’t know the answers.
And if they do answer any of that, the answer is all faux-theoretical bs anyway. Future generations will read the current days’ level of academic psych literature for the pleasures of historical amusement.
That said:
Hats off to the (current) practitioners of the profession.
Cause it’s tough and exhausting.
And sometimes/often they do good anyway.
Even tho they can’t explain it and don’t understand it.
And they are mostly good and generous people.
Perhaps benign-to-positive human contact (including strongly neutral reserved personal judgment/involvement and educated professionalism) can be worth something intrinsic to our kind.
Does this have something to do with the batteries in the refrigerator? I can explain that… Why are you bringing over that snug fitting white jacket, nurse?
“psychiatric help? who the fuck does this person think they are? i’ll fucking cut them in half with a rusty poop knife. i’ll pluck all their fucking hair out with tweezers. i’ll give them a malort lollipop. just kidding. here, here’s some delicious cake. have some cake. so say we all.”
@carl669 You probably need to check from a browser where you aren’t logged in, when posting images from Imgur. This is the second one this morning that you’ve posted that I see the Imgur error:
Access to i.imgur.com was denied You don’t have authorization to view
this page. HTTP ERROR 403
The browser I’m using here is stupid Chrome (not my favorite), with no ad blockers, or anything similar.
@carl669 for the past week or so, I’ve seen several missing pictures, every single one of them imgur. Don’t know if they are trying to avoid hot linking (if that is what its called…)
Enough said
@lwvining You’ve only been here 55 days. Give us more time, you’ll realize we’re all geniuses. In our own minds.
@lwvining Yes, as @Fuzzalini says if you are here long enough you drink the koolaid and all is well.
?
Well Duh, tell us something we don’t already fucking know.
But it’s what makes us fun and interesting.
@mfladd
Where am I supposed to get that? Everyone here is crazy.
How do you know? By what authority?

Welcome to Meh, fucker.
@Pavlov Some of us function pretty well with drugs, though.

@lwvining
Affirmative. With extreme prejudice.
@OldCatLady #MeToo
I mean part of college is psychology classes… so I learned just enough about this stuff to be dangerous. Care to share?
What about the girls?
@speediedelivery pfft. We are perfect.
@RiotDemon Of course.
I am curious about the information that led to the statement. Perhaps some need more than others?
Wait… do you mean us customers of the meh, meh itself, or all of the above?
…or just Glen? I know Irk doesn’t…
@thismyusername Glen is ok. It’s that guy with his hand stuffed so far up Glen’s… sock that worries me…
Do not. My mother had me tested.
@sammydog01
We all know the truth.
@sammydog01 You beat me to it! I was scrolling down to say just that.

/giphy I demand answers
@lwvining
/giphy what did you do to my giphy?!
Enough said! Obvious…
@lwvining
We’re crazy. Like totally bonkers.
So we don’t care.
We don’t have to.

@shahnm
I hope your fridge/freezer is a traditional white one.
That way, the jacket will be color-coordinated.
Everyone seems to be overlooking one critical piece of information here: we can create topics without content. Nothing but titles, baby!
@brhfl And THIS proves that we are all crazy or sane or both!
let us consult the mehcronomicon:
“psychiatric help? who the fuck does this person think they are? i’ll fucking cut them in half with a rusty poop knife. i’ll pluck all their fucking hair out with tweezers. i’ll give them a malort lollipop. just kidding. here, here’s some delicious cake. have some cake. so say we all.”

@Shrdlu dammit! you’re right. opened it in incognito mode and the link is broken. imgur must have changed something up.
weird. if i copy/paste the image link to a tab in incognito mode, it shows fine. but the image in the thread in incognito mode doesn’t show.

@RiotDemon It kinda seems that way.
They can’t monetize views when the pic is simply hotlinked from elsewhere.
In this day and age if you don’t need help, you probably need some fucking help.
