Catastrophic Thinking isn’t Impatience dumbass!

I was ranting about catastrophic thinking and suicide earlier. It makes me feel heard to yell into the void as opposed to keeping a journal. Also feels like it’d be more work to hospitalize me as long as I am mostly sane day to day

Anyway, some retard called ptsd related catastrophic thinking, impatience. Impatience is losing your shit at Starbucks cause the underpaid Barista has 5 orders ahead of you.

Whereas catastrophic thinking is assuming you’ll be homeless if a single thing at work goes wrong. It’s assuming the absolute worst outcome that’s sort of connected to reality. That’s why you’re told to slow down and breathe. Your mind can go faster down a dead end street than a Maserati. You’ll lose your mind quicker than Joe Walsh lost his license if you don’t slow down.

But it’s not just on them to slow down depending on the case either. If I’m in a relationship and thinking that I gotta buy my girl fast food every day for her to be into me, some expensive ass boots, and basically let her treat my card as a blank check then something is wrong. The solution isn’t to find slightly cheaper alternatives and then talk about being uncomfortable.

The solution is to fucking speak up. You wouldn’t wait until the driver has hit a wall or driven over the curb of a cul-de-sac and into the living room of a house at the end before you tell them to slow down.

So why the fuck do people do this shit in reality? Why the fuck are people doing it in reality and assuming nothing bad will come from it?

There’s a severe lack of accountability. News flash, LMSWs can’t fix everything. I’ve had them tell me as much during 3am panic attacks. They’ll even bitch about people acting like that. Like career counselors who sold me careers I’d never get in university and then call the cops for a wellness check when I was breaking down over my future. The future I’m living now where between physical and mental limitations I can’t work. They said I was delusional, but I’m pretty sure the county clerks and IRS are sick of all the paperwork they get once a month or so when I’ve got a new job. Doubt they’d tell you I’m delusional.

And the power of catastrophic thinking is why disability exists. You aren’t gonna get rich off that shit. Gonna say that for the retards who think you’ll buy a nice house off disability: you won’t get rich off a fixed income. The point is to remove a stressor that the government can help address: no money.

The fuck is wrong with people? How tf are they so retarded? People aren’t out here hyperventilating and treating “temporary issues” like they’re catastrophes for fun. Merely listening isn’t enough either. It’s not a rough breakdown or rejection.

It’s a very real problem. But people can’t even do the bare minimum and help establish reality because they’d need to do something for free, an that’s not how you get rich.
