EVERYBODY

Dang, no one wants to talk about tv? What, is the world ending or something?

Alcoholic Leo McGarry (The West Wing) YouTube video by jwcorpening

What’s your favorite (or least favorite) episode of TV that depicts alcohol/substance abuse, addiction, or recovery?

Mine is the episode of the West Wing where Leo tries to explain alcoholism to Jordan and asks “How can you have enough of feeling like this?”

Excellent points. I wimped out and did my usual eggs, toast, and fruit, but I have a feeling conditions tomorrow morning will be chili

Giving serious consideration to having chili cheese fries for breakfast.

After all, what else is free will good for?

Airport calories don’t count

“Ya hear that, squirrels and bunnies?”

Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

do you want to see the whole crew rushing from one high-stakes phaser fight to another? no. nobody wants to see that. we want to see bashir and o'brien playing darts

I am imagining what the conversations between Kash and his sponsor are going to be like once he gets to AA. In prison.

Trick question. Correct answer is Jesus of Nazareth. He can cast Resurrect so you’ll never die

JUST LEAVE ME BEHIND ❤️

Also! Stop making jokes! I’m the funny one and I’m not paying you to try out your open mic material

Like, am I dumb for thinking a therapist should review patient notes before the patient gets there?

That they should *at least* be able to start a session by saying “Last time we were talking about X”?

I’ll give enthusiastic head with loving eye contact to the first mental health professional who reads my fucking intake forms BEFORE my $200 appointment

America has one ruling party dressed up as two and they both hate you

Bad Advice from Bad Therapists, Act V

Social Worker: I think you should definitely buy that house! You don’t seem manic at all to me!

Bad Advice from Bad Therapists, Act IV

Sam: Sometimes I hear voices no one else hears.

Psychologist: Since you know they are hallucinations, you can just ignore them.

Bad Advice from Bad Therapists, Act III

Sam: I think I’m destined to be depressed.

Psychiatrist: Sounds like someone has a pretty healthy ego!

Bad Advice from Bad Therapists, Act II

Sam: I’m afraid if I quit drinking I’ll die from withdrawal.

Social Worker: When you have thoughts like that, just look in the mirror and say “That’s so silly!”

Bad Advice from Bad Therapists, Act I

Sam: I’d like to try antidepressants

Psychologist: No, they’re overrated. You’re doing a fine job self-medicating with alcohol.

My dream TNG episode is one where everything is fine and we just see a totally normal, quiet, and calm 45 minutes of predictable space travel.

Doesn’t that sound almost aspirationally kinky?

Narcissistic abuse was also a lot easier for my father to do than it was for me to describe!

I’d been in and out of talk therapy for decades before I was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder at 35. So most of my experience has been trying (and failing) to convince my therapist that I’m actually sick and not (only) an over dramatic asshole

Seeing a new therapist tomorrow so I’m practicing my answers in the mirror like a good boy, for if I do therapy right enough I’ll be cured, yes?
