  To be clear: the historical treatment for too much black bile (melancholic) is to shit it out with laxatives.

    gut microbiome’s link to gut-brain axis and depreasion so partial points earned? laxatives usually have adverse effect on gut microbiome tho

      yeah you are going to want to combine this with probiotics

    Weird take, but blood-letting is a treatment against microplastics. As is menstruation and donating blood, but the first one is more medieval.

      The solution to pollution is dilution!

    • roguetrick@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      That’s a treadmill. You have to eat and drink more micro plastics to replace the lost blood. Bloodletting was the opposite you wanted to do with melancholic illness btw. You wanted to increase sanguine humor so you ate and drank sanguine foods while taking laxatives.

    You ever go a long time without a good shit? Those alchemists may have been on to something.

  All right, either:

  • try to decide what kind of therapist is needed (difficult)
  • figure out what kind of therapy/therapists are covered by insurance (time-consuming and stressful, sometimes impossible)
  • provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
  • look through a list of relevant therapists nearby (usually easy)
  • try to identify one that you might relate to or at least be able to deal with (very difficult, sometimes impossible)
  • call them up one at a time to see if they’re really accepting new patients (time-consuming and stressful)
  • try to find a regular time that works in your schedule for the new therapist and for other obligations (difficult)
  • again provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
  • go meet with the therapist. try to get along with them because if you don’t it’s your fault and you have to start all over (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)
  • do all this while dealing with whatever problem you need therapy for (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)

  Or:

  • access Paracelsus: paracelsus-project.org (easy)
  • translate: translate.google.com (easy)
  • distill potions: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrrbGRIOhCw (easy)

  I know the wording’s a meme, but the hell with whoever made the original post. Fuckem.

    Let’s also take into consideration that if you’re in the US, the current administration wants to make a database of neurodivergent people to make it easier to find them and send them off to camps later. It is actively dangerous to go to therapy.

    Find only 2 therapists in your area, one rejects your application, and the other double bills you.

    I get that it’s hard, I was in the same boat multiple times. Everyone experiences the problems you list and I guess women and non-binary people actually have it worse because of on average greater financial instability and dependence on others.

    But the issue is, for therapy to work you have to acknowledge you have a problem, be willing to reflect upon yourself and change some own misconceptions. I feel like cis men have great difficulty with that and therefore avoid therapy.

      I didn’t say anything about gender, and I agree with everything in your comment. In addition, I maintain that the original post’s divide-and-conquer victim-blaming is one of the worst possible takes on the fact that accessing mental health care (in the US) is harder than performing esoteric medieval alchemy.

  Men you know hard it is to get therapy?

    And then once you have the means, finding the right one…? This post seems tone deaf

      The wording is a meme, but yeah, somewhat detached from reality nowadays.

  The idea of imbibing potions whose recipes predate our awareness of things like radium or mercury toxicity somewhat disturbs me.

  That guy’s name is Dr. Justin Sledge and his Occultism channel is the first one I found that doesn’t make me cringe.

    He’s a hero to us all! Without him, how would you have ever heard of the clerical necromantic underground ? (Which will be the band of my next black metal band, yes, thanks for asking)

    He’s also got great politics and taste in music.

  maybe the real therapy was the potions we distilled along the way

  Okay but I want to know where they got that stovetop alembic from. Were they just hanging out on Amazon the entire time while I had to struggle with wok distillation?

  • Derpenheim@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Yes.

  I did therapy for a little while a few years ago. I quit after the third week of listening to my “therapist” talk about his wife’s after church activities, and attempting to convert me to a Southern Baptist.

  I’ll take the mercury.

  Ok but did it work?

  involves quicksilver, aka mercury, potentially organo-mercury.
