YES MORE THINGS HAVE MADE ME ANGRY TODAY.

This is harmful, disgusting garbage. I don't even know where to fucking start.

My only fear is that someone actually suffering from mental illness who could benefit from therapy or medication will be scared away from it because of this asshole's religious guilt tripping.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

Have you seen the awesome video that George Takei made? The douchebag video? It will cheer you up forever.

Oh yes! Yes, I did!

I think I'll watch it again to make myself feel better.

Guilty

I wonder if therapy could help with that.

Imagine that comment in the movie announcer voice now.

This guy is retarded. The whole point of the bible is that sin is like a disease you can no nothing about, hence needing a cure. Saying that people cannot have diseases...only sin is such a complete error in judgment it's ridiculous. If God wanted you to feel guilty about everything all the time he wouldn't tell everyone to forgive everyone and move on with your life xDDDD I hate this kind of crap, it makes me so angry!

Seriously. :\ It's a complete ass-backwards message.

His whole bit about how shrinks just tell you to be nice to yourself and it's not your fault etc just proves that he has never actually talked to a mental health professional. I have had a lot of therapy, and yeah, my illness may not be under my control, but my actions sure as hell are. A lot of therapy is focused on taking accountability for your life.

[superhyattbeam.livejournal.com]

Exactly. A lot of my experiences with therapy have involved finding root causes for my disease (a big one, admittedly, being my parents), but also acknowledging that I'm an adult and need to take responsibility for my own life and mental wellbeing.

Well, this is annoying.

There is very much a big difference between blaming your actions on something else, and having your actions being the result of a disease. This guy basically just took every kind of mental illness/disease and called it non-existant and that they're just something to blame our faults on.

And alcoholism is a disease. It's compulsive and uncontrolled. You can't just get rid of it without being treated.

:/

Yes, seriously. I kind of want to know what credentials this asshole has that give him the right to speak for every person in the goddamn world with a mental illness.

Credentials other than "Because Jesus."

It's pretty crazy. People will just say whatever :/ and it even looks like he's teaching a class, too. Just fucking great.
