Poor Oedipus, he really deserved so much better.

Yeah poor guy had no idea! It's not like he was twisted and wanted to have sex with his mother

I think the complex has to do with wanting to dethrone the father to be close w the mother so they just picked that and said close enough 😂

@@alexandraethridge2232 Oedipus didn’t want to dethrone his father though. He killed his father without knowing who he was and when he found out, he wanted to kill himself.

@@alexandraethridge2232actually a fortune teller told him about his destiny, so he ran away from home to make sure it wouldn't happen, but it turned out he was adopted. He killed a man while on his travels (not knowing it's his real father) and then saves a town from a giant sphinx and to thank him, they make him king and let him marry their queen (not knowing she's his mom) when the mom finds out, she kills herself and leaves him a letter telling him why, and he takes the pins out of her dress and stabs his own eyes out and then leaves their kids to be homeless and just wanders the desert. Fun story.

Yes that’s what I thought as well

considering how shocked she was when he left the room i doubt it.

Yeah she is was definitely trolling him

i don't think so but it would be funnier if it was

Yeah, most people I know (as an American) seem to think that going to therapy is an admission that something with your mind must be terribly wrong, and that if you don't go to therapy then that must mean that everything is okay. I don't agree with that mindset but I see it all the time. I will say though that younger people seem to be generally much more accepting of the idea of regular therapy compared to their elders.

Also constantly being ridiculed for having feelings for the last 40 years in media, by other men and women and even family. Doesn't help.

it is a weakness

@@jaxorgate no it isn’t

@@mahekmittal1379 it is. never cry. never show your emotions. or the women pounce like fleas to attack and torment you.

You say counselling is available, I’m assuming this is paid? Therapy in the UK is around £40-£50 per hour (depending where you live of course).

@@izzy6388 It depends on your insurance. Also, many counselors work on a sliding scale to accommodate for a range of incomes. So you have to pay for the service, available was in reference to it being an option.

Hey, I'm actually trying to get a degree in psychology, can a psychologist treat people with chronic mental illness? Also, what's the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?

@@rakshyakharel9398 Yes, a psychologist typically works with individuals with chronic mental illness. There are a variety of options in setting to do so such as in patient, private practice, and nonprofit work. A counselor or therapist typically has at least a Master’s degree, a psychologist has a doctorate (PhD or PsyD), and a psychiatrist has a doctorate and a medical degree. This is because psychiatrists are the only mental health professionals with the ability to prescribe medication. Hope this helps and best of luck with school!

i agree, some serious topic they talk abt r stuff like: racism, misogyny/feminism, sexuality, birth (as in choosing to responsibly bring a human to earth), mental health, etc.

THEY EVEN TALKED ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE AND MADE RESPECTFUL TRANS JOKES. THEY’RE THE BEST.

They've nailed the ability to joke about demographics without it being at their expense

I agree with you apart from the representation of disabilities. I haven't seen the last season so maybe there was something good there, but the only disabled characters I remember turned out to have been 'faking' which is a terrible stereotype that really harms the disabled community.

I would say they make fat people the butt of the joke on several occasions

That's probably the case in most places, it's private until the therapist suspects you're at risk to yourself or others

same in canada

That is the case in most countries, but you can not hand over the notes!!!

I think everywhere is like that

@@marieklenke2916 exactly, u can say "he's thinking of suicide, be around" but not give the notes about everything that the pacient has been trough

Yea didn’t he marry his mother without even knowing she was his mother? It’s been a while since I read about it.

@@trayas2272 if you dont want to read, just watch OSP (Overly Sarcastic Production) on youtube. It short and impressif summery

tbh, alot of these stuff named after greek myth are not faithful to their source material and are just vaguely similar to its myth. take for instance, pymallion effect. Taken from the character pymallion who sculpted galatea. Now look at the definition of pygmallion effect(found out about it from b99 ofc, then did my research), and it prolly has liltle to no connection to the myth. It kinda bummed me:/

@@justalapisfloatingaround1223 isn’t that what My Fair Lady was based on?

@@trayas2272 my fair lady does have some aspect of the Pygmalion effect(expectations cause changes in one behaviour). But not the myth tho. The only reason Pygmalion created Galatea was because according to the myth, he despise ordinary women, no women could fit his perfectionist view and deem that only his creation/depiction of a women in the form of a sculpture could suit him. Like the total narcissistic arse that he is, expectedly fall in love with his creation to the point that he begged the goddess Aphrodite to make Galatea to life. Yes , the story is filled to brimmed with misogyny and narcism if u say it out loud Tldr: my fair lady took some creative liberty to suit the society norm then, ain't exactly a good message that a narcissistic men can only fall in love with things he create.

The Boyle family is like the Mcpoyles from its Always Sunny. Freakishly loving in family. only difference is that Boyles smother with love and generally just weird out the 99, while McPoyles are like old school British royals: incestual, disturbing and terrible compared to the Gang

@@SoulStealer50 Thanks, I've only heard him referred to as Professor Stange. But I'm not a huge Batman fan so even that is a very vague recollection.

Yes

That’s very understandable! I only tell my close friends I go to therapy and I tell them it’s for anxiety and depression because when living together in college it’s hard to hide when you’re taking medication. But I totally agree what you tell people is up to you! But I wish there was less stigma on telling people about disorders.

Has your boyfriend tried to seek the manual? It’s by Marsha M. Linehan. As I continue in my biopsych studies, I have learned that they are thinking about changing BPD to complex ptsd in the DSM- the diagnosis manual. A lot of people with bpd have trauma and there’s people in the field discussing how the stigma of bpd and language used is actually shaming the patient by calling it a personality disorder. I hope your bf gets support with dbt. It made the world of difference for me, but everything in that manual must be actively attempted. For example, changing some patterns of though, it’s all about Neuroplasticity and getting your brain used to the new thoughts. It’s possible to change. Edit: also, look into transcranial magnetic stimulation for major depressive disorder. I’ve had MDD since my first assaults in high school. all the medications tried and bad side effects never worked, but I am 2 months into TMS and my MDD episodes are barely present and it’s making the biggest difference. However, I am also still working on changing the inner critic by changing the language in how I treat myself and meditating and therapy

how are people who can afford a therapist, privileged? it's not that expensive.

@@countbleck35 People who can afford therapy are privileged. Low-income and disabled people like myself are literally unable to access life-saving services because we don't have the money for them. If you don't have to go hungry, miss work, etc to see a therapist, you're privileged. If I were to try to afford to see a therapist, I couldn't eat that month.

@@countbleck35 really? How much is it where you are? Do you not understand that for people who are struggling to pay the bills, regular sessions means making hard choices about what to forgo, like food, medicine, heating etc?

I didn't know what the word 'ideation' was before reading this comment, so I learned something thanks to you. Therefore you have a positive effect on the world. Does that help?

Hey! You’re important and I’m glad you’re here. If you’re interested in free therapy resources I’ve got tons, just let me know. I know it’s frustrating and it’s definitely a privilege, but it’s possible. You deserve support for your mental health no matter what and I really hope you can get that.

That’s what I was thinking about the tracking. I share my location with some family and friends and vice versa.

I'd say as someone with severe ADHD.... he's definitely ADHD

i also think amy is autistic :)

I was curious about that myself. The goal of treatment for DID. Cause with depression my goal is to be rid of suicidal thoughts. But with DID each of those personalities are different people to the point where there is no one personality to integrate into. I always assumed communication between alters in the system was a better goal than integrating them all. But I can’t speak to it since I don’t have DID myself.

@Hi, I'm Sky Not an expert and not a system, so take what I say with that in mind. I believe there's a bit of a confusion concerning the term "integration." I've seen that some people have started to use the term "fusion" to describe two or multiple alters essentially "merging" into one, basically what most people imagine "integration" to mean. Final fusion would then be a state where all alters have "fused" into one cohesive personality. From what I understand, fusion is NOT a clinical term, it's just something I've seen being used in the community to make the distinction clearer. Either way, many systems don't have fusion as their end goal, many don't want to or can't fuse completely. It's not the only treatment option AFAIK. *Integration,* then, refers to the breaking down of the amnesiac barriers between alters. So, in that sense, integration would indeed be the final goal of treatment - it's basically the ultimate improvement of system communication. There can still be distinct alters, but the way I imagine it, they form more of a unit this way. That's how I understand integration as the end goal of treatment - not as necessarily leaving only one alter, but rather as integrating, breaking down the amnesia/memory barriers between them. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any count. This is merely what I picked up on but I have no idea how it's perceived by experts. As far as I've seen, integration is still most widely understood as the "merging" of alters. Take care!

@@efoxkitsune9493 ahh that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the explanation!

THANK YOU. We are a system as well and that triggered the fuck out of me. Functional multiplicity is just as valid as integration. So little psychs understand DID or even believe it.

@@efoxkitsune9493 so, I’m not a professional either but as a part of a system the way we describe it and have always seen it talked about by other systems and actual professionals is that integration and “fusion” are the same thing It’s when all the alters come together to form one singular personality Functional multiplicity is when the system all works together as a whole and over time very well may break down amnesia barriers, but they are not integrated if they are still separate alters I very well may be wrong but that’s how we and many other people see integration, and even if that is correct, many people don’t think of it that way and speaking of integration without using that specific context can be extremely triggering

Omg same. Two psychologists agree I have it but the psychiatrist doesn’t believe in DID.

@@TheIndigoSystem it’s ridiculous right? I need to go through the hassle of asking for extra opinion, maybe finding if there’s a specific doctor in my area I should be asking for a referral to… ugh.

@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated same here ugh

@@DissociatedWomenIncorporated I’m in the North West sadly! Happy Pride from a pan ace non binary person within a system of all sexuality and gender identity!

I have a question and I’m really sorry if it’s offensive I just don’t understand DID. Do you become that person and believe you are that person? Because I thought they were in your head but apparently not

@@Mia.S13 I don't have DID but I've watched someone with DID talking about it. It's not that you become and believe you are that person. You ARE that person. They are part of you. If I understand it right, it's like different aspects of your personality that separate from each other as disassociation. People without DID can also disassociate, but in different ways.

@@TheTossedOne So there’s like you and then there’s the other personality that you also are?

oh god, thank you, i was looking for a comment about this. i also have DID and i was hoping to see someone point this out.

@@TheTossedOne so I have a good friend with DID and at least in their case, there are 4 personalities who all work together in a system. It's kinda like they went through certain things in life and their disassociations from this trauma created new... And I know this sounds weird but it's how I've always seen it... But it creates a new mind kinda. Like there's 4 different minds inside one body.

In my mind that's the best case scenario. I think pretty much everyone would benefit from some amount of therapy. Unfortunately where I live (also in the US) going to therapy is not very popular among young people and completely unfathomable to most people older than ~30. I go every other week and it helps me immensely, but that is not a common thing where I am.

@@ianmininger I live in Italy and it's the same here. I go two times a week bc of depression and stuff, but therapy it's not really a thing here, wich sucks. If you do it you "have to" have a valid reason. But I agree, therapy can help everybody and everyone who can afford it should try it, even just to vent, wich can be extremely useful

As a lower middle class person with some fun diagnoses, if people in your life are regularly going to therapy “just because”, either they’re extremely financially secure or they’re just not telling you why they need it. This shit doesn’t come with a “just because, regardless of wealth” price tag.

@@kiwimusume Both things can be true. I'm sorry that's your experience. But people do live above their means all the time in what many of us perceive to be strange ways. While I sympathize for those that have serious problems necessitating therapy (and empathize as someone that has OCD and depression, and certainly benefit from therapy but choose not to because of the price... plus my meds have me in a decent place), the popularity of "therapy" culture speaks for itself. It's definitely something people of all backgrounds and income levels are doing more of, across the board, especially with services like BetterHelp, etc.

oh hey we all have the same things! except bipolar, i actually have bpd but they’re similar ig

no one in. y system cooperates lol, they all hate fronting so i’m just 🧍‍♀️

There are plenty of better and more experienced therapists than me but that's v sweet

Wow I would love that. Such an amazing show.

As someone who actually has BPD I disagree. The show is okay but they paint us a problematic and consistently toxic which is not often the case. We have our moments but the person writing this didn’t seem to write ~BPD Well in my opinion. I did stop watching it early so maybe it gets better idk

@@TheIndigoSystem Rebecca is…complicated. She does things that are toxic, but tries to be a better person (kind of) constantly. But does get better over time after she lets go of Josh and Nathanial.

I think Mr.Robot also had a pretty realistic potrayal of DID

B99 is so funny! Like it touches on a lot of important topics and problems, while being comedic but also serious when actually facing serious topics? But it's an easy watch, and the first few seasons you don't have to have watched everything to simply enjoy the episode! Which is something I love about the show, because when a new season airs there is not a need to recall every single episode... I've binged B99 so many times tho lmao! It's just so easy to watch, and doesn't require that much from you to keep focused! Which is perfect for my ADHD brain.

It’s great you really should, it touches on feminism, racism, mental health, LGBTQ+, homophobia and misogyny while still being hilarious

@@Mia.S13 thiiiis!!! Like it covers so many serious topics in such a good way, and bc it is a show most people can enjoy, they reach a solid audience - so maybe opening some eyes that keep denying the issues we face in this world 🙊🙊... like they even covered racism/racial profiling by cops, misogyny against female cops, homophobia... it's so funny, but also so ON POINT on mistreatment within the police! But in a way that doesn't turn watchers away bc "it's too political". It's like subtle 🤣

@@KrisHe1 Yeah, it wasn’t like when shows spend like seasons on political stuff and it turns viewers away because it’s “too political”

@@Mia.S13 yessss! Like I'm so happy when shows with big viewer numbers actually use the opportunity to put focus on so much - like Grey's Anatomy has also had several solid episodes showing so many real life issues (as well as Station 19), and I love the last seasons of both, but idk it truly are issues I am invested in - but I do think a whole season of both shows being ALL pandemic, BLM etc might turn certain people more away? So I do wish they did it a LITTLE less directly, but at the same time I'm very grateful they did show it in a proper, real way... just know too many of the people that are against these things (anti-maskers/anti-vaxx, anti-BLM and protesting etc..), are going to feel it was too political... but at the same time, I am so happy when they see they are like some of the most popular shows on TV, and can afford doing that? Bc obviously unless it is a show meant to focus on these issues (Pose forexample), they know the audience are there because of that - while shows like Grey's have a wide variety of fans? But they also have the budgets to "risk" viewers?? So not that big of a risk 🤷🏽‍♀️. But yeah, too openly political often turns away the people that SHOULD see this...

Mostly Jake calls him psychiatrist, no? He might just not as a character know the difference? Since psychologists do the therapy and counseling and most psychiatrists I’ve seen only do the meds

It's on the list!

Omg I'm so rubbish. I told you I know nothing about comics!

@@DoctorElliottCarthy it happens to the best of us 😆

Isn't there a Dr. Hugo Strange in DC comics? A batman Villain?

actually Dr Strange IS a Batman villain (and in the show Gotham he's the head psychiatrist at Arkham). He's one of the first of Batman's regular Rogue gallery to have been introduced all the way back in 1940 while Marvel's doctor Strange was introduced in Marvel's 'revival' of the 60's with Stan Lee (created around the same time as Spider-Man and the F4). So there's Doctor Hugo Strange -> Batman -> DC (1940) and there's Dr Stephen Strange -> Marvel (1960's)

@@celia1888 I stand corrected 🙃

As a fellow system we fully agree. There isn’t even good research to support the efficacy of integration theory, it’s mostly just theory really, theory dreamed up by singlets at that.

yes, except integration isn’t inherently traumatic to the system. it definitely can be, especially if it’s forced upon the system, but when it’s a choice made for healing it’s often a beautiful thing, at least for my system and others i’ve spoken to.

also Jakes once referred to Amy is mother :D

Really accurate and awful analogy. Awful the truth that all healthcare is not make equal

It's cool that you're trying to understand the disorder better, kudos to you for that. I'm sorry to say though, I strongly advise you to find different sources for information about DID than DissociaDID. Loads of very shady stuff came out about them over the course of the last ~year or so, and many people with DID consider them a very senzationalized and inaccurate, even potentially harmful, portrayal of DID; they've been accused of spreading many misinformation about the disorder and being manipulative and exploitative towards their fans, among other things. I know this must be very uncomfortable to hear, DissociaDID seem like such a sweet person that could do no wrong. I know because I used to be a fan too. I feel the need to say this so that you and anyone else who reads this are aware there are many issues with DissociaDID and I want to advise you to not take everything they say at face value and uncritically. Even if you still enjoy their content, please be aware that what you see is most likely a highly skewed portrayal of DID at best. It's entertainment, NOT education. For a better source of information about DID, I'd recommend MultiplicityAndMe and The CTAD Clinic. Take care & stay safe.
