    I’m my friend group, “You should go to therapy” translates to “Your problem is so much bigger and more complex than any of us can fully handle, so you should see a professional to help you work through it.”

      Very much this.

      I feel more like I’m a burden on my friend circle because of my mental issues. I’ve exhausted a lot of them and some people have left me over that. When that happens, you need to get some fucking serious therapy. It’s not an insult. It’s an encouragement. Your friends may love you, but it’s like if they’re given the option to wipe your ass or ditch you, they’re not wiping your ass all of the time.
