Jayla, just please tell me this, do you pay attention to how nutty you sound? You mean to tell me you actually think it is okay for you to dislike yourself, and want to get your face done to look like white people, because of how other people dislike West African features? Pay close attention to this... If you are approaching a hungry homeless man who is eating a slice of bread, now he has finished the slice of bread and he tells you that he is hungry. All you have for him is another slice of bread, so you offer it to him. After you have offered him the slice of bread, he tells you that he does not want it. Are you going to think that the hungry man is hungry, crazy, or trying to play you for a fool? Astrologer4U
If i couldn't afford it, i'd have to let nature take it's course. This is the case for millions of low income people and some who have bogus insurance policies also....restricting certain types of procedures for bs reasons. But if i knew pookie and 'em had a hook-up (although not 100% guaranteed) i just may have to trust they'll pull me through. Everyone can't afford it Elder James. And there is alot of us speaking out....trying to find a way to help ourselves. Just look around and see it. Babies having babies, Brothers killing Brother, children fighting and killing parents, Black men and women turning against each other, depression on a highrise, and so is suicide. We may not have all the answers to fix us, but that shouldn't stop us from doing the best we can. This is not to say your suggestion isn't a great one. But for some its just not as simple as it seems. Who knows, for those who can afford to obtain a therapist, our support here...right now....may be the link that encourages them to do just that.
pookie is overrated..... the idea that a group of friendly and well meaning folk on the internet can provide medical services is far off the mark and dangerous. i never touched on money and your doing so now is hurtful. it just gives her another excuse for not doing the right thing. the only point that i make is that the issues that she presents need to be addressed in a professional manner. that is the correct position. if you go to the beginning of this thread and read it all you will see that she has deteriorated. clearly, all the assistance that has been offered to her so far has not helped. what new can you add? she needs a professional.
@ Pookie is overated hahahahaha Elder, you believe therapy can't be provided by a group of friendly people on the internet, but i know it can. Before such titles were even given to people...there were those who were helping others get through their problems. Maybe you nor I have the endurance and knowledge to help this Sister, but there are others ready and willing to go the extra mile with her. You say she has deteriorated since the beginning of this thread, but i see nothing but progress. She is opening up, expressing all her true self, recognizing a few things about herself as well. For some people this is a very hard thing to do. To let others probe all into your personal stuff, to see you in your most vunerable moment, and to evalute it as if they've known you for years. That is progress. Yeah, i know you've never touched on money here, but good professional therapy cost money. We can't afford not to consider that as well. I've sat in on a few therapy sessions and the same thing we are doing here, they've done in those sessions. But mostly they didn't give advice...just asked questions and let the person find the answers on their own. You say nothing has helped her thus far, but how do you know this. Just knowing someone is here to listen, understand, and share with you, could possibly be helping more than you know. I'm going to step up out of this thread and let Sister Jayla shine. Some have offered to walk with her through this difficult time. It is now up to her to decide if she wants to continue that walk.
since the beginning of this thread she has acquired a white parasite. i see this as a sign of mental deterioration. from your post, i think i know a bit more about therapy than you do. i am giving the correct information. i'm sorry that so few can see that. it is one thing to not know. it is another to not know that you do not know....and swear that you do
