"Lacking my Joie de Vivre..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

I was just informed by my anthropology professor that I could cure my depression if I just exercised more. I am so mad I can't see.

I WILL COME THERE AND KILL THEM. SERIOUSLY.

OH NO HE DIDN'T. unless it was a she, in which case OH NO SHE DIDN'T.
I really, truly hate it when people tell you, you can cure your self if only you do "_______"-- you're just not trying hard enough!

ugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

A she, and I just. What. What the hell. Like, usually when people make comments of that nature I get triggered and feel like a bad person for not being able to cure myself by doing x, but in this case it's so BLATANTLY OFFENCIVE AND STUPID that I can't even feel bad.

^this x a million. A MILLION.

Sometimes it is good that we can't kill people with our brains. Sometimes it is bad. What in the flaming hell is wrong with that idiot?

...is this the same anthro prof who was already needing to be complained about for attitudes, or was that someone else's anthro prof? Cause either way, stone cold bitch. Isn't it obvious that if there was such a simple solution, your doctors might have mentioned it?

RAAAAAGE

[raanve]

HOORAY FOR SCIENCE.

Seriously, though, WTF. I would choke on my rage for sure.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

oh okay

so if my mom would just do some situps, she'd be able to get out of bed!

DEATH. FROM ABOVE.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I don't even know.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

No, that was kind of mine. Also, I think her feeling is that everyone wants to be on meds and doctors just support it.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I really couldn't even answer her, I was so angry.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

yes totally! exercise bikes are the key to everyone's happiness, didn't you know?

[raanve]

Yeah, I mean, I like to believe that I would've given her WHAT FOR, but in all honesty, I'd be stewing in silent rage until I ranted about it on the internet.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

oh

oh wait

I missed that this was Professor Noble Savages.

NO LONGER SHOCKED

STILL PISSED OFF BUT NOT SHOCKED

VOLUNTEERING TO BE PART OF THE BURNINATION BRIGADE HERE

(Er, hi, I usually lurk, but I once had a therapist say this to me so it set off all kinds of rage triggers and I just had to comment. Because DEAR GOD SOME PEOPLE I JUST CAN'T EVEN--jkl;jasdfkj;)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It's totally okay, the rage coalition is open to all.

(also, ohgod, I can't imagine what it would be like to hear this from an authority figure like a therapist. I'm so sorry.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I HATE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH WHY DO I STILL HAVE ONE MORE MANDATORY CLASS WITH HER IN ORDER TO GRADUATE.

...actually, I wonder if there's an ~equivalent class~ for study abroad. Because I'd really like to take anthropology--which is awesome--with someone who didn't make me want to kill myself.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

>___< I just nodded and smiled and got out of her office as soon as possible.

[10littlebullets.livejournal.com]

And oh, the glorious smackdown the rage coalition shall deliver! Er, if only via the internet. Maybe that's what DARPA has been up to since they invented the internet, inventing a way to punch people in the face through the internet.

(it didn't take me long to realize she was full of shit, but that didn't stop the little "you have no right to be depressed, just stop it" voice. full. of. shit.)
