"Lacking my Joie de Vivre..."

[rainbowjehan]

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.

Comments

[rainbowjehan]

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]

Apparently doctors just exist to give people fashionable medicines so they can feel their neuroses. Or something.

RAAAAAGE

[rainbowjehan]

Tell me about it.

[raanve]

HOORAY FOR SCIENCE.

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

[rainbowjehan]

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

[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.

[rainbowjehan]

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

[mhari]

oh okay

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

DEATH. FROM ABOVE.

[rainbowjehan]

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

[mhari]

oh

oh wait

I missed that this was Professor Noble Savages.

NO LONGER SHOCKED

STILL PISSED OFF BUT NOT SHOCKED

[rainbowjehan]

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.

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]

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.)

[10littlebullets]

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.)

[rainbowjehan]

That would be such a useful talent. >_> And I'm usually a pacifist, but dear Jesus God.

(No, I completely understand. You know that they're wrong, but there's still the authority making an impact and telling you no, they're right.)
