This is not the way

I think climate change is gonna do everyone in sooner.
Well, pass the heroin then.
“The world today” but it’s the fucking death star.
Men will do anything including hard drugs instead of going to the therapy and/or trying perscribed meds.
Hey, that’s a gender neutral activity!

Funny, most of the women I’ve known in the last decade with pre existing diagnosed mental disorders refuse to go to therapy and self medicate with booze or weed, and pressure me into doing the same.
Hey, maybe you should try thera… Are you saying I’m nuts , that I’m psycho or some shit?! Fuck you!
…
Anyway, yep, therapy is great if you can afford it.
My ex went to therapy, and still self medicated with booze and weed…
If you’re buying heroin you can afford therapy.

Affording therapy doesn’t mean access to competent therapy. There are plenty of therapists who got into it because depressed, anxious people are everywhere and it’s super easy to charge upper middle class people $150/session to give them the most basic mental health care advice in existence.
And for some people that’s all they need, and that’s fine. But if you have an eating disorder, or you’re LGBT, or you’re a minority, or you have PTSD or trauma you need to work through, or basically any “complex” mental health care need, it is HARD if not impossible to find a competent therapist that is in network, near you, and affordable. And there’s no way to know if the therapist you’re thinking of seeing is competent in those things at all until you go there, open yourself up, and suddenly maybe they say something extremely shitty that sours the whole experience and you have to start over again.
If I hadn’t been able to go to my local LGBT center to get therapy, I don’t know what would have happened with me. And it still wasn’t cheap! You can’t just go to therapy a couple of times and be done with it, I was prescribed 16 sessions (which is like, the basic default amount and they will extend it further if you need it), and if your copay is even $10 or $20 that is a lot of money to drop on something you’re not positive is even going to help you.
Which like, isn’t to say that heroin is a good alternative. It’s just that when someone has a $20 in their pocket and they can either spend it on a single therapy session that may or may not be beneficial to them (or can even be retraumatizing) or they can spend it on a bag of heroin that will for sure get them high and make them feel better right now, it’s not hard to see why some people are going to choose the latter.
I’m not really sure what you’re arguing here… Heroin (from my googling) is like 15-20 bucks for a tenth of a gram. And also from googling it looks like it can cost users $150-$200 a day.
I go to therapy. I’ve gone to a bunch of different therapists. I go twice a month and it’s $150 a session. You don’t need therapists to “be in network” for you to go to them. And $300 a month is way cheaper than $4500 a month, no matter what way you split it.

In regards to this, I’m pretty sure that the second you think of taking heroin you’re screwed. It commonly results in addiction after only a single try. My point is that don’t ever think of heroin as the solution, because the cost of therapy is not the problem.
I thought I was pretty clear about what I was saying: “just go to therapy” ignores all the reasons people don’t “just” go to therapy. Nobody is a heroin addict because it’s fun, and lack of access to appropriate mental healthcare is a huge factor in that.
You don’t need therapists to “be in network” for you to go to them.
If therapy had cost me $150/session instead of $5/session I wouldn’t have gotten it, and those price points are set by my insurance company according to if they’re in network or not. If $150/session is nothing to you then I’m glad for you, but that price point is a huge factor for the majority of people.
Like, in some places in the US there are people who will do minor surgeries on themselves because it costs too much to see a doctor; the depths of poverty and lack of medical access in some areas (especially rural ones) is way beyond what you imagine if you haven’t seen it. And it’s probably not a coincidence that there is a huge epidemic of opioid addiction in rural areas.
If you’re at the point where you’re saying “oh but heroin costs so much more than therapy”, you are not in the kind of mindset of someone who is at the point of taking heroin to cope. They are not making good long term decisions because their mental health is in the gutter.
Again, I’m not saying heroin is a good decision. I’m saying if we want to deal with addiction as a society we have to understand both what causes people to become addicted in the first place as well as what keeps them from getting help. If telling people “go to therapy” is all it took there wouldn’t be a problem.
Lol homie people do heroin because they can’t afford oxys and percs anymore. It’s only expensive if you are afraid to main vein and rely on snorting it.
I will admit I don’t really know anything about heroin, but therapy doesn’t cost anywhere near $150-$200 a day so I have a very hard time believing that therapy is somehow more expensive than a drug habit that is so addictive you literally do it once and you’re fucked.
I heard deleting comments can still be seen in the community so ima just edit the comment in hopes of removing it. After i thought about it it’s prolly not best to give more reason to anyone looking to do hard drugs lol
I’ll have you know that I went to therapy… Eventually.
I unfortunately tried to find solace at the bottom of a bottle first.
Didn’t work. All I found where the demons of my own mind and the bottles took away my ability to fight them.
Oddly enough, booze have me the courage to face my demons. The problem was in that I could never remember the resolution of those encounters, so I kept going in circles.
Talk about your shit to someone, folks
Hookers. They’re cheaper than a shrink, have access to all the pharmaceuticals your heart desires and if all else fails… they are almost always super good at… listening to how your day went. Hell most even prefer it to sucking on a soft chub for an hour just for you to come to the same conclusion that depression fucks with your libido.
Why not both?
The only dragon I wanna ride is Falcor from Neverending Story.
In what sense “ride”?
Like as transportation.
The number of dragons I’d ride in the other sense is pretty much any except Bayle the Dread because he’s an asshole. He probably lost his dick to Placidusax anyway (and why he’s so mad).
Embracing 😳
This is the greatest gif to have ever existed.
Truffle Shuffle to new heights
scary
I will never not see him as a dog
Man, if I had enemies I’d get them addicted to hard drugs. They’d stop chasing me, and just chase that high
Incidentally, that’s the supposed plot line about fentanyl coming from china
I mean if China were actually doing this, they’d only be taking from the same playbook the British used against them with opium ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Idk if it’s coming from a Chinese government conspiracy but I’ve definitely only ever seen it come in from China.
Yeap
There’s a good Vice documentary where they meet with both cartel in Sinaloa and Chinese suppliers who also are now handling money laundering for them
Not a good message to spread, becuase it’s fucking true
It’s so accurate because Rey is such a bad protag as well.
Fucking thank you. I wanted to like her, but she’s just way too, blahhh. Same with Kylo Ren, but more because he’s a friggin crybaby
Yeah, as someone who like force awaken, seeing her just change into the most powerful jedi without trying in last jedi is making me refuse to watch the third film of the trilogy. There’s no character development happening other than her getting strong.
Kylo Ren on the other hand get too many character development till the point of him flip flopping his view so quick it just makes him a meh villain.
The character had so much potential after the first film… Then they just, didn’t use her.
The beginning of last jedi where old luke throw away his lightsaber? That’s really how Mark Hamill feels.
Sounds good. Where can I find this heroin You speak of?
Is the heroin/heroine pun intentional? Cus god damn, it made me spit out xD
I hope so. It works both ways, but totally different. Nice.
Your missing the last picture where I’m giving out handies for 10 a pop and looking ragged as fuck…
Only $10?
Heyyy~~
Then constipation blasts her
This also works with anything you love to do too
Oof
Heroin
Heroin should fix anxiety and stress. Depression, I doubt. A lot like booze that way really. Unfortunately heroin will also make you constipated.
Heroin is a cure for depression like a nuke is a cure for a famime.
