    I get that this is supposed to be funny, but one of the biggest things I’ll be thankful for, until the day I die, is talk therapy.

    From it, I learned that my thoughts that mirrored this meme are so incredibly common that first year therapists in graduate school are taught this as basic training.

    I didn’t think I can adequately express how common it is; it’s like obesity in the United States, but unlike obesity we will always be invisible into socialized medicine become a thing.

      I didn’t know that. Neither did I know so many other people feel like that. Does that pattern of thought have a name?

        I do remember that there’s more than one, but I don’t remember the details since I’m not a therapist.

        My point was to emphasize how common this is, yet so many of us go about our lives wo getting the help we need and that’s why I compared it sometime ultra common in the United States, like obesity; the remedies for both maladies are really available, but both are locked behind capitalist paywalls that only lets the rich or lucky get the help they need.
