Mentally ill

Goes to a therapy

mental state gets worse

???

You'd be surprised how often this happens irl

Is that red label a content warning in a game without a CERO rating? That's a little unusual.

Lain deserves cock therapy.

Pretty normal. Therapy can only work if the client actively wants it. So for some, they see all that they need to change, then say fuck that shit and stop trying.

a therapy

This was my experience with therapy actually, what a fucking scam.

many such cases

just wait it out

Every violent Playstation game (I think they phased out that by the PS4) had that icon as a warning for gore. Either is embedded into the cover (like Capcom's horror games) or it's added as a sticker onto the plastic film covering unopened games, some even had the icon on the back cover.

seeing "the-rapist" makes mental illness even worse

Wow... how could this happen...?

watch your back

Psychiatry is really more of a philosophy than a science.

In the narrative of the game the therapist herself is a mentally compromised person who is being sexually harassed by her boss and has just broken up with her boyfriend, as well as Lain herself being a proto digital god who has started to spy on her and is gaslighting her about it.

A lot of therapists are bad, but I'd say it lines up with most any other profession in that regard, if you're going to get therapy don't just settle with the first person you get, try and be objective about what you want and what the therapist is offering you.

I do, in fact, love Lain

The issue is that a lot of therapists give "advice" that's total dogshit, is something the person has already done, or simply isn't an option for them because if it was, they wouldn't be in a bad mental state in the first place.

I was curious about this "game" so I looked up a video and I'm quite happy I did because actually playing it seems really boring.

dumb bitch shoulda gone to two therapies

Are therapists just professional gaslighters?

such cases of which there are many

Back in university, I ended up taking a bunch of psychology courses as free electives, and all the actual psyche majors in the classes were easily the most mentally fucked up people on campus. I think you need to be at least a little fucked up to want to be a psychiatrist, and it's funny because the ones that finished up the major struck me as just much better at pretending to be normal but otherwise still the same insane people they were back in freshman year.

Thinking about your problems actualizes your problems. It's better to exercise or touch grass or have sex.

many such cases

the most mentally fucked up people on campus

any examples?

psychology is a field made by and for schizoids

I dropped psychology so I could play deadly premonition. Feel like I made the right choice

You don't know what schizoid means.

Did he stutter?

holy based

No, but he's stupid. Schizoids outwardly resemble reclusive autists more than anything.

I'll never not be amused at how little Japan understands guns

Explain what's wrong with the gun in that webm.

Problem was at least in part that therapy couldn't have done anything for her, she had actual psychological problems that ended up becoming tech-supernatural ones.

Might've helped with a psychiatrist with actual medication, but not a therapist, since they're moreso there to help people through external problems verbally/by making lifestyle or thought process changes.

Literally my uncle
Thanks god everything on his life is a failure... even his suicide was failure

clearly the gun is backwards

My therapist told me to watch The Croods to solve my mental issues. "pay special attention to the character of Grug" he even said

Well? What did Grug teach you?

Can you post her schizo moment with the mirror?

NTA, but the force is unbalanced. Lain falls backwards with too much force, and brings the gun with her. In reality the gun should go the opposite direction due to recoil, or if somehow her grip held then she wouldn't go flying and would basically not move before topppling over

Many such cases.

I just ditched my friends for the third week in a row. I know they understand my situation but I still feel like shit. They're out having fun while I'm laying in bed all day like a depressed retard.

my uncle commited suicide too. small world.
his 3 sons are now all in jail for murder or worse.
he shouldn't have done it ;_;

go to therapist

tell him ive got a porn addiction problem thats ruining my mental health

"theres nothing wrong with porn anon" "thats not that bad"

mfw

Psychologists wouldn't get their money if they cured you anon.

goes on a date

Should've told him you get off to shitting dick nipples

soon they will stop inviting you
get ready

he has friends

poor failed normie.

This scene makes me a bit uneasy, you're supposed to aim it to your head, not your throat.

Counterpoint. She is a skinny small girl.

9mm

recoil

another thread full of people who would benefit immensely from proper psychiatric help

of course, every single one of these people conflate psychology with psychiatry and lump all therapists as quacks, or just straight up make shit up about them

Happens every single lain thread.

Therapy is a product, and products can be good or bad.

I dont even know what a therapist does

Your porn addiction is ruining the quality of your faps.
You should do it only when you find something actually hot instead of doing a retarded routine.

me in the car at the end

You guys don't get it, the force that blasts lain back isn't countered by anything, it violates conservation of momentum. Regardless of how weak or strong 9mm is or how light or heavy Lain is, if the gun is capable of launching her back, then it can't possibly also be pulled along with her. There's no equal and opposite reaction. The gun, the bullet, and lain all go flying off to the right. What are they pushing off of?

they listen to you go on and on about your depression and problems, and just when you're about to get to the cure/solution, oh sorry your time is up, cya next session.
its a scam. people claim talk therapy works. it doesn't work, especially if you have assburgers.

I don't remember this.
Guess I never watched the whole series, it was boring and nonsensical

That's just movie physics and not exclusive to Japan. Hollywood has been doing the same shit forever.

its from the ps1 game. ps1 game lain is more edgy and lonely

Oh yeah, fair.

I believe it. There's a phenomenon where people pick psych as their degree just to investigate their own issues and the issues of the people around them. Oh, and also the people who wanted a somewhat prestigious degree but were kind of aimless after graduating school.

A bad psych student is still better than a bad nursing student (the latter usually has low levels of skill + dangerous levels of enthusiasm). Both get outdone by bad law students though (as anyone in a cohort of law students will know there's always a few crazy gunners).

Guess I never watched the whole series, it was boring and nonsensical

imagine missing out on kino

True

they used to give pills out to people to make them zombies, i wish it was still like that

almost everyone knows the difference
I've been to psychiatrists that prescribe Jesus
I've been to therapists with actual hearing issues
I've been to therapists that have told me theyre shocked I haven't killed myself
I've been to psychiatrists that just say "fuck it, we'll go with what almost works"
I've been to PAs that tell me the secret to happiness is gains and approval
I've been to therapists that insist I'm gay
I've done more study into the fields of psychiatry and psychology than most of the people I've talked to. I've read through parapsychological texts, I've run suicide defense, and I've talked more people through their issues than I can count.
All that to say that therapy is for normalfags with low-functioning brains that seriously have milquetoast daddy issues as their largest contribution to mild mental disquiet. It does fuckall for people that are fundamentally broken or with atypical neural patterns (autists, retards, and autistic retards), and is an absolute waste of time for a lot of people here that are better off reading into this shit themselves.

Relatable

she's a child

we're all in this situation
if not worse
how are we supposed to know

You really think you can get a long lasting relationship at that age?
With who?

Its simply over, you might have tried once, but its over. Everything has an end and is up to us to wait until we die if we happen to fail.

It ain't over until it's over anon. You can fight, or you can give up like a coward. Your choice. That said women nowadays suck so giving up might actually spare you.

nah, it's possible, not everyone's getting married on their 20's

also why do you think staying single is "the end"? I really don't care about marriage, having children and a family, but I can't ignore the feeling that maybe my life can improve with a relationship, that's what worked for a lot of friends

head not in pieces

it's a handgun not a 12 gauge

women are notorious for making your life better
when you get in a relationship she will fix everything, as women are known for doing

go to therapy for social anxiety
