Now, I went to a therapist for a few times, because I was having anxiety issues so bad I couldn't sleep or eat. Not feeling icky, full on sleeping maybe 2-3 hours a day.
I went maybe 3-ish times to talk about shit.

In theory, I am not 100000% against it. Then again, I feel she was a different kind of person. She did the thing leftoids avoid; told me to get more busy (I was applying to go to school then, plus got a bit of a side gig), get creative (always been that way, she asked me to work on whatever art I enjoy and show her in a few weeks what I made), do something that makes me happy that involves not just myself (I told her I was in the process of adopting a dog, which she approved of and I did).
Basically she said "Yes, these things happened to you and it makes sense you have issues like anxiety and just fear of certain situations, but doing stuff to feel more in control will help you".

I saw it a way to organise my thoughts concerning certain events in my life, then getting told (nicely, mind you) that I need to do stuff. Then again, it doesn't work on people who refuse to do things. That's the main issue.
What I see in lefty online spaces is congratulating yourself for absolute minimal effort. Like drinking water. No joke. It's a good thing to do, you can even be happy about it on like day 1. But celebrating nothing constantly just makes you stuck and not extend yourself more, which makes it impossible to get better.
