SIGNS YOU’RE BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED 🧵 If you had to wonder/guess if your relationship falls in this space — that’s sign #1 & you’re in the right space— cuz this thread is for you!

Let’s talk about the way we choose “friends”. Let’s really have a discussion about it — because there have been way too many instances where a person has ended up unalive, abused or harmed by a person they categorized as a “FRIEND”. People are failing to have healthy friendships because they are not recognizing that friendships are relationships too. Just like you should have a list of standards for your partner, you should have a list for friends.

People be thinking they’ve experienced depression & they truly haven’t & that’s why they have all these negative things to say about people struggling with it. Depression and having certain symptoms of depression are two different things. Everything is on a spectrum. You can experience symptoms of depression without being clinically or significantly depressed. You can experience symptoms & not have a depression diagnosis.

Tomorrow is #AnonymousATM Friday where you send submissions in my DM & we give advice in the twitter circle! To be added tweet #AnonymousATM and tag me! ✨ DMS NOW OPEN FOR #ANONYMOUSATM ✨✨✨✨

🧵 HOW TO DEAL WITH PEOPLE WHO PROB SHOULD GO TO THERAPY BUT WON’T GO TO THERAPY THREAD 🧵 Out the gate on this nice Sunday, please don’t ASSUME that I feel as if therapy is the only way people can work on themselves. If you want to inform people on the different ways they can do so, please do so on YOUR page. I’m a COUNSELOR so my page is about THERAPY. MY EXPERTISE📌

Where is this “cancel culture” energy when it comes to school shootings, rapes, racial profiling, women’s reproductive rights? Where is this “cancel culture” energy when it comes to R. KELLY??🙁🙁😵‍💫

✨🧵THREAD ON ACES (ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES)🧵✨ how trauma and your upbringing can affect literally EVERYTHING. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Y’all still sleep? It’s NOON!

Therapists can’t say anything. We can’t be human. If we do anything people think we aren’t supposed to as “therapists” then we lose our job. Then we “shouldn’t Be a therapist”. Do y’all want perfect people as therapists? Or do y’all want real, relatable people as therapists? Why are we expected to be perfect? Serious question.

Let’s talk about how “pick-me’s” are oftentimes just people pleasers. Actually let’s not talk about that. That’s all that needs to be said.

Stop telling ppl they can pray away their depression/anxiety. Prayer + meditation are healthy + effective coping mechanisms. They do help you feel better. I’ve never experienced them completely alleviate any “mental diagnosis”. Faith without works is dead. I agree. I’m also not telling people to not exercise their faith. Read what I said.

When people are trying to date/court you— being nice is the bare minimum. People who like you actually SHOULD be kind. We were taught that when someone picks on you or hits you playfully, they like you or they were flirting with you. That really didn’t age well. You deserve kindness and gentleness in love. Some people take these things too far.
