I Can't Afford My Marxist Therapist

14 Upvotes

I'm just a little frustrated and sad because I finally found my dream therapist (a Marxist psychoanalyst) and he doesn't take insurance and I cannot afford 250 bucks a session. I understand why he doesn't want to take insurance, and his low-cost client spots are filled up. He has a family to take care of, I get it, but god I'm just sad. I feel like I'm making actual progress with him, but this month has been a motherfucker. We've had three months straight of house-guests, and one of my husband and my congregants lost their place and is staying in our spare room for now, when I just desperately want a little peace and privacy. Which is not to say I resent him. He's a lovely guy and very helpful around the house, but one doesn't want to go around weeping like a Victorian ghost in front of someone you're supposed to minister to, you know? (We're Satanists btw, liberation theology focused ones with a focus on Lucifer as a revolutionary) so yeah I'm just sad.

I also feel like I look old and in my industry (I make my money as a prodomme, pastoring we do for free) that's not ideal. I feel bad for how little money I've been making and feel even more unattractive as a result.

is it normal to feel stressed about the situation of the working class movement in your country?

7 Upvotes

So I'd like to join a party around here when I can (once I'm in uni and after participating in student orgs) but I have a problem: the only party that I supported around here doesn't seem to be active and I kinda doubt it exists anymore and the other that came out of that one supports a party from another country who are transphobic and chauvinists (although the party itself hasn't expressed any transphobic opinion openly like the one they support) so I'd like to know what you think I should do like I feel stressed about this because I fear that in the event of getting into the party if I discuss or say anything they might not like regarding my support for trans people (in the case most of them are transphobic) they might end up expulsing me but I have met two members of the party and one of them is openly pro trans and the other said that he doesn't believe or support everything that the party his party supports says (which imo it's good, these people seem serious about wanting to build a party in my country and they seem to not care so much about what the other party says but idk)

Felt depressed today, wrote a poem

13 Upvotes

Feeling alone today after my friend blew me off on our plans without telling me why or communicating with me. I reached out to someone else asking to hang and have gotten no answer. I feel like shit. I’m trying to avoid being around that feeling most of the time, but when I have nothing going on it just seems to be all there is.

—-

I am desperate to prove I am still alive

Yet what is within is fading out

Maybe like a dying star, the light I’m seeing is only an illusion

Radiation emanating from something that died long ago

I feel nothing most of the time

Not neutral, just a nothingness

An absence of feeling or want

A depression where I once was

Depression too

Or something like that

is it normal to feel overwhelmed by the amount of anti-communist propaganda that you hear?

20 Upvotes

Sometimes it happens to me that having propaganda being repeated by different people who ik and see often (like my history teacher or my family) and it just ends up overwhelming me, together with my anexiety things just get worse because I have intrusive thoughts about this and if I'm actually doing the right thing and stuff so idk, I may just be overwhelmed and overreacted

Social Anxiety and IBS

13 Upvotes

Hello comrades. I have a somewhat embarrassing confession. I have Social Anxiety and IBS which means I am mainly a homebody outside of work (which is fine, because I do enjoy staying at home and reading), BUT I am somewhat trapped.

My IBS has been an issue for all my life, but it has become worse with age (almost 40), which has meant that I have had "accidents" more than a few times in the past 2 years. This has only made leaving the house an even more stressful event than in it was in the past.

I have attended my local Socialist Party meetings in the past, but it means I can't eat all day (to try and prevent an accident) and STILL may have an accident, so that seems to be an option. I also need to learn to use a firearm for protection, but due to both Social Anxiety and the aforementioned IBS it makes it difficult to plan for it (I live in a very Liberal state, so the gun laws are restrictive).

I'm considering diapers (even though I find it incredibly embarrassing) and therapy although I don't think I can afford it. I don't know if I would be able to explain my anxiety to a therapist, who may not understand a Leftist/Marxist political lens.

TLDR : Anyone have experience with Social Anxiety and IBS?

It's not much, but I hope all of you are doing better, doing well! Remember that all of you are ESSENTIAL in the struggle we are in!

That's it.

I won't go into much here, I know as a whole, the past few months have probably worsened things for you, wherever you are, but it is to be expected. Things will probably worsen, but I'm sure we all will be able to rise up to do what is needed!

A shout out to the people who have been trying to keep this subreddit going over the months. I haven't been active here, and probably won't be able to stay active in the near future, but it comforts me knowing that such a space exists, and knowing that people do want to look out for each other, despite the inevitable downward spiral of our lives and the world, the answer is of course in continuing to struggle, to fight where we are, with our comrades, near and far. Sorry I wish I could write better

WE HAVE A WHOLE WORLD TO WIN!

Can't get it Together

14 Upvotes

My life is in shambles. I rarely ever have human contact outside of people I text, my co workers, and saying hi to my roommates when they pass me by.

I have a horrible, complicated job that I hate, but I'm desperate for money, even though when I'm there, I think about ending my own life. Not that I will, or that I have a plan to, but it's just so brutal and I hate it so much.

The stupid U.S government totally fucked up any kind of Corona response, and that's really isolated me from my friends also.

I'm thinking of just quitting my job, but I need a car and I need to move out.

Life is so overwhelming and I feel like it's way too much to deal with. I feel like if I have to do this much stuff for little to no monetary or emotional compensation, what am I doing at all? I feel like I can barely function, and I'm supposed to do all these other things besides just get through the day and I feel like I can't.

I'm too tired. And if I'm this tired from such a relatively stress-free position as a labor aristocrat in the global North, I must be useless. Everyone else seems to be able to go along and work just fine. But not me.

Living is just a chore.
