    the OP has already told you that she doesn't hate herself

    Riiiiiight, that's why she gets depressed over not being straight (not understanding what liking guys is like) and instead being different. She totally does not hate herself, not at all. /s

    And I have already told you that my own bouts of self-hatred are a symptom of a mental disorder for which I am currently being treated by a licensed therapist. And yes, it actually has helped.

    Which means you didn't have to waste time talking to random strangers online, and could have saved up the energy for the next session with your professional therapist to fix your issues faster.

    Glad the emotional pros*itution that sucks money out of people's pockets and puts some "professional" who without the money wouldn't even bother in there to offer empty platitudes- I meant therapy worked out for you though.

    The depressed people I know and have talked to couldn't fix their issues with therapy, and I came up with that long name to describe therapy after a while, but it's good it worked for you.

    So? This what everyone does. People meet up with their friends to bitch about their jobs, their families, their obligations, then they feel better. It is a very healthy way to release pent up emotion.

    Clearly not everyone because my sister is quiet af and doesn't go bi-ching about her issues every few days, she vents one time, and then vents about a whole year later and that seems to be a healthier way of getting it out of her system. What is bi-ching about some issue every few days going to do if the issue itself is not solved?

    This is why it's important for depressed and self-hating people to have access to mental health services.

    I think most are beyond repair, but sure

    Nothing OP said sucked the energy out of me. And you had every right to simply not offer your sympathy and move on to a different thread. You chose to engage and waste all your energy arguing with me, instead.

    Of course it didn't suck any energy out of you, you both already agree with each other. Birds of a feather flock together, why would a self-hater suck the energy out of another self-hater

    Also true, I chose to engage, but I had nothing else to do. Staring at the wall got boring.

    Did it occur to you that different people have different needs and different ways of grieving? Has it yet occurred to that it's ok for people to not be you and to express their emotions in a different way? Do you simply assume because something works for you, it must work for everyone? You are going to have a difficult time relating to other people if you operate under these assumptions.

    You can have your way of grieving. I just don't see how staying in bed all day, crying and venting for days are going to help. Venting a few times I can understand, but not for days, and I can not relate, no. I can't relate to most people.

      so you have plenty of time to learn the hard way.

      In your dreams. I learned to have no tolerance for anyone that gets in the way of my goals and objectives the hard way. Even if beaten and stoned, I'm not going to let anyone stop me from being the wonderful way that I am.

      I don't imagine that will serve you well in life

      Quite the opposite. Honesty, being true to myself and my objectives, and not acting like I care about others when I don't have served quite well for me.

      but you sound young

      Same old ageism. The vast majority of 20+ year olds (as in 20 to 80 or whatever age a human gets to be around year olds) believe in their imaginary "god" and/or "soul" and don't use their brain for anything beyond being a robot that follows the herd in society and does as it is told. Sleep, get up, go to work, pop kids out and brainwash them by certain psychological techniques so they start liking the corrupt society, repeat. That's all they do.

      Just because one is older, doesn't mean they know more than those younger than them. The majority of adults may have more experience with working bloody hours in an office somewhere, but that's all there is to it. Also, the brain deteriorates as one gets older, just as other body parts deteriorate, so at the ripe ages of youth, one is more likely to learn about reality faster, and understand where they are wrong to change their minds, etc. Whereas the older people most times refuse to learn about reality, and rarely change their minds even when the truth is right in front of them.

      In any conversation we atheists had, more and more 10-18 year olds listened to us talking about the contradictions within the bible and the Quran, and became atheists, whereas most adults went around in circles and refused to understand they are wrong.

      Again, just because one is older, doesn't mean they are smart, nor does it mean they know more. They don't.

      I and a few others I know of are just a rarity among the 20+ year olds in the world that know better, and will not follow the herd.

      so you think people who struggle with mental health issues are "beyond repair" and the medical professionals trained to help them are pure quacks

      I don't believe therapy really helps for most depressed, or self-hating individuals. A "professional" is sent there to say things the depressed or self-hating individuals already know and don’t have the motivation or energy to execute. "Think positive", "focus on breathing", "exercise", "find time to do things you enjoy". Even I could say these things. They are told "get help". There is no help. Only the depressed and self-haying individuals can help themselves, and they refuse to bother with it, at least most times.

      It's good therapy somehow worked on you though.

      I'm going to go celebrate the holiday with my family now. Best wishes.

      Hmm, we don't celebrate that here, but have fun I guess. Say hi to your family for me. And happy holidays.
