Any of you ever pay for therapy?

I understand. As you said in another of your threads, it IS ok to be gay. The sooner you accept it for yourself, the sooner you can start to enjoy your desires. You're not getting any younger you know, and neither is all that chicken....

I can assure you, bud, I'm not gay. I've got a pretty serious issue that touches on sex, but I'm comfortable with my sexuality, and wouldn't hesitate to admit it if I were gay

I'm more than a little confused why everyone thinks you're a closet diva. My gaydar is pretty accurate and I don't even get a ping off of you. Worse than that, it goes limp. LOL

Thanks but I wouldn't really feel comfortable discussing my issues here, like I said, it would probably be better to speak to a professional who I don't know, and even that would probably be pretty tough

...this might sound nutty, :), but really consider a walk somewhere where you KNOW no one is around. Don't bring a phone or anything like that. Talk it out. Say sht out loud like a person you trust is with you. Zero dollars, and you'll be the judge.

...or / then therapy?

Gayer than a cock flavored lollipop
Gayer than 8 guys banging 9 guys
Queer as a football bat



OK, so you're NOT gay (your secret's safe with me). Do you have an inny AND an outy? Little best of both worlds....yeah?

i was seeing this one psych bitch for $150 an hour. she half listened or couldn't remember half the shit I was there for and was a nice waste of a grand. I see some other lady for 80$ a session and I have had a session last over 3 hours. She does that reiki and natural healing, stuff like that and isn't a psychologist or nothing, but she is a lot more caring and gives better advice then any doctor or psych ever has

Therapists dont/cant give drugs, only psychiatrists and other doctors can.

To the OP, I went to therapy for a while and it was helpful. It can feel good to purge a lot of the bullshit and stress that you normally wouldnt want to air out to other people. Insurance normally covers it if you have it,when I went it was only a $10 copay.

Wrong. Depending on the state, Psychologists can also write scripts for many meds.

If I were gay and wanted to join the military I wouldn't let it hinge on anyone elses acceptance of me or my life.

I don't really have anyone to discuss personal things with and I believe that has contributed to why I feel the way I feel sometimes

Call it an early life crisis, something most of us probably go through in our 20's, figuring out where your life is going, how to get there, what you want and why, how to find happiness, that type of stuff..

I'd like this person to be someone I already trust, but I feel like some of the things I'd like to talk about should be with a total stranger to avoid any personal judgment

Except I don't have insurance at the moment, and I'm not sure how that would look on a military application if I ever do decide to join, I know that was one of the questions that was asked so it would likely be an issue

little word of advice, it is just a natural stage, and will pass with time.

Maybe U need a lady in your life man,not saying it to belittle you or anything.It is therapy on many levels,talk to some chiks.If it runs deeper that that, go with what Eye exagerate suggested ,it helps to have a complete and honest discourse with yourself where no one can here nor judge,Its helped me with some issues that are otherwise impossible for me to deal with.

Pad, I believe you said you do not have any friends. In all seriousness, having friends while in your 20's is very important. I think you need to look at why you do not have any. Seems life to you is not real unless it can be proven using scientific method. My man, life is crazy, and you cannot be so GD hung up on science. What science has been 100% sure of in the past has later been proven wrong over and over. Relax, and enjoy your life, minute to minute. Try to see the good in it.

I am very glad I am not in my 20's right now. This world is getting scary. Global economic collapse a very real possibility, losing more civil liberties all fo the time. Prices of everything going up, with no jobs. All you can do is laugh, and try to enjoy what you have. Get some kitchen and see if that helps.

My online persona is much more direct than I am in real life, and that's usually only because small talk doesn't really happen on the internet. I try not to talk politics or religion with people in real life. I've had a few conversations with reasonable people but most people aren't reasonable, especially about those subjects.

The only time I mention religion is when someone else does first, and it's usually because they're trying to push it.

I would rather have a genuine friend and real conversations than someone who would look at you funny for asking them something philosophical, I have plenty of those and I just don't connect with them. I'm pretty introverted and I enjoy being alone most of the time, which adds to the difficulty of getting to really know people and have those sorts of conversations, and I've never met a girl who is OK with this while trying to maintain a relationship.

One of the most frustrating aspects of being a part of this generation is, in my experience, the previous generations' attitude towards it. Everyone else before us had it absolutely made by comparison. I'm not saying it was easy, but it was unarguably easier. They act like we should just be able to do what they did when they were my age, but don't seem to understand any of the problems of why we can't.

So, it sounds like your real life "persona" is actually much like your online one. You think you are right all of the time, and that everyone else is an idiot. That is NOT going to get your far in life.

Just posted about this in another thread ill copy and paste


  • For example I've been to two

    Had a counselor in highschool that went through a lot of similar shit(alcoholism in the family mostly). He helped me through a tough time in my life and I'm glad he was available to me. I knew that he actually cared what I was talking about because he had experienced it.

    Now just this past year when my mom was in her final days the hospital offers you a counselor to help you deal with the situation. My brother felt the session helped. I didn't feel a shared connection with this lady and felt it a waste of time trying to explain my emotions to someone who hasn't experienced it themselves. It was probably too soon.
    Again everyone different.

    My .02 hope you get something out of it.​
