Been sayin it and saying and saying it for years now.

[Strugglin]

Did you know that the "Human Services" "Mental Health" "Clinician" "Social Worker" fields are 80-90% Female? WHITE Female?

[Strugglin]

Like the cheerful old one on the "landing page" of this website. Did I mention that I'm a programmer and a web developer with 38 years of experience?

[Strugglin in reply to Strugglin]

And a great deal MORE experience with psychology too.

[Strugglin]

Computer programming and Psychology are very very similar.

[Strugglin]

What is Self Care? Besides "reprogramming" our minds?

[Strugglin]

Speaking of "Self Care" you'd probably be SHOCKEd to know just how LITTLE CONCERN 2 different NON-PROFIT orgs that I worked for paid my LEGITIMATE Self-Care needs. While plastering dumb cliche memes all over their websites about the "Importance Of Self Care" too. Truly sickening.

[Strugglin]

Could have been my Race, My Gender, Or even MY AGE. And the fact that I DON"T HAVE KIDS. Did I mention I'm Asexual?

[Strugglin]

Been Straight, Been Gay, Been Bi. Had my fun. Been celibate for 10 years. Never been more grounded.

[Strugglin]

Does that "qualify" #meToo for special consideration on this forum since I fall under the #LGBTQIA++ umbrella? technically?

[Strugglin]

We all know how discriminating against LGBTQIA++ community members plays out in the "court of public opinion".

[Strugglin]

I live alone in a camper. was homeless for 2 years. Recovering addict. Peer support specialist. Loads of "lived Experience" yet I'll bet Harvard's most Tenured professor would be terrified to have an honest conversation with me.

[Strugglin]

Because I'm a straight shooter. No sugar coating. No shame in my game. Period.

the shame card

[Strugglin]

And since most female (and male tbh) mental health "experts" live and breathe shame, and project it relentlessly, they know i'm their worst nightmare.

[Strugglin]

And if you really want to know what "CURING" depression looks like, it's TRANSCENDING ALL SHAME. PERIOD. (violation?? of TOS??) nhope. 100% factual statement.

[Strugglin]

I'm no better and no worse than any other human being on the planet. Can you look yourself in the mirror and say that to your self HONESTLY and MEAN IT? nhope.

[Strugglin]

When you can, you're cured.

[Strugglin]

This song is about facing one's own hypocrisy in the mirror.

[Strugglin]

Good. Night.

[Blueruth]

But not demonstrating it.

[Strugglin]

I'll act dumb then outsmart you. I'll act crazy then show you how crazy you are. I'm 1000 steps ahead and 10 miles behind you. You won't understand because you can't understand. I'll act hateful to expose HATE in YOUR HEART. I'll be the hypocrite to expose YOUR HYPOCRISY. You're brilliant. I'm cunning. i'm the fox and the wolf and the raven and the crow.

There are "toxic females" too you know.

[Midori in reply to Strugglin]

Any gender can be toxic, I have found, and in the past I have been on the receiving end of several.

Cheers, Midori
