    “Just get therapy? Why don’t I strap on my therapy helmet, and squeeze down into a therapy cannon, AND FIRE OFF INTO THERAPYLAND, WHERE THERAPISTS GROW ON THERAPIES?!!!”

      Me: “Can I get a referral to a therapist?”

      GP: “Uh huh… so, I’m going to need you to take a drug test.”

        The medical system has us so whipped.

        I just reached out to a therapist office. Referrals? Insane if you actually needed to do that.

          Every medical treatment has to go through my GP, or else my insurance won’t pay for it. If I had the money, I could just pay a therapist on my own, and then pay out of pocket for any meds the prescribe.

        Got it for free, it comes down to “you don’t look depressed”.

        No shit, I thought you would help!

        So they told her I look depressed. I was not depressed, just literaly grieving.

        Got some perspective on things, was still on my own.

        Guess what: you need an actual neurologist to help treat your brain disorder, not someone to tell you the obvious.
