    Do you, Dr. Freud? Based on a few text-based interactions?

    Amazing. Psychiatrists take more time, but you’ve figured out the shortcut.

      I think it’s generally good practice to go see a therapist every once in awhile if you can afford it and even if you feel fine. I’m not trying to diagnose you and therapists don’t really do that either. But yes, seeing the way you’ve interacted with me and others I think is enough for me to give you that advice.

              I actually recommend going to someone who specializes in CBT and not psychoanalysis. That said if the latter is all that’s available to you it’s generally better than nothing.

                  CBT helps plenty of people live happier and healthier lives. You don’t actually need to be diagnosed with any mental illness to find it useful.

                    That’s not an answer. What, specifically, do I need CBT for?

                    You don’t recommend it to everyone you talk to. So why me?

                    This is starting to seem like you’re trolling.
