I keep thinking about how in the fight at Mustafar Obi-Wan keeps trying to appeal to Anakin’s moral and ethical obligations to the Jedi and the republic. and even his obligations to the galaxy at large as the “chosen one”. because Obi-Wan himself is driven by his moral obligations to the Jedi and he has trouble grasping that Anakin is driven by his emotions on a fundamental level. That’s who he is. Anakin doesn’t have “lapses of judgement”, he makes his judgements with his emotions and acts on them. When picking between his obligations and his emotions, Anakin will almost always choose his emotions. But Obi-Wan still tries to reason with Anakin even as he’s fighting him and Anakin just keeps countering his points with his insane logic…up until he can’t. And even then Obi-Wan still tries by reminding him that Anakin was chosen one and was supposed to defeat the Sith. Which is when Anakin lets his emotions take over and he tells Obi-Wan that he hates him. And I think it was at that point that Obi-Wan finally understood that Anakin’s emotions will take precedence over his logic. So maybe when Obi-Wan told Anakin he loved him, he was really trying to reason with him in a way he thought might work, maybe he was desperately trying to give Anakin one last chance to take everything back, maybe he was just so full grief and anger and love - love despite everything - that the words slipped out, maybe seeing what Anakin’s emotions did him and seeing what Obi-Wan’s indifference did to their relationship is what pushed Obi-Wan into finally letting himself feel all of emotions, maybe - maybe Obi-Wan thought if he could let himself feel, if he didn’t let go of his emotions, if he let himself admit what Anakin had already told him thousands of times, then he might be able to understand how things turned out this way, he might be able to know why Anakin’s emotions drove him to this, he might be able to feel the depth of Anakin’s pain and understand how it was so easy for Anakin’s love to turn to hate. Or maybe Obi-Wan was just a fool who had loved his brother dearly and needed him to know.

I think the "weary sigh" emoji might be the most relatable.

In other news my quest for an official ptsd diagnosis is being thwarted at every turn

[stopmyhearts]

Tomorrow is going to be wild emotionally

[butch-chastity]

highkey one of the most annoying things about my ptsd isn't even the symptoms it's that it's impossible to find any ptsd resources that aren't for veterans or csa survivors. the internet and psychologists at large are convinced those are the only two traumas you can have. nothing else ever happens to anyone. ever.

does anyone else dislike the term mental health. like how it's being used. idk like we don't feel safe in "mental health" focused spaces because we KNOW they are talking about like. testing anxiety or dealing with relationships or managing family. not like. genuine madness or stigma

Today I learned that one of the only certified sex addiction therapists locally is a Catholic nun.

Honestly. Love that.

Hey if you are looking for cheap therapy and you cannot afford or get health insurance right now..

Go to this site and filter it for prelicense.

Prelicense means that its a student and in most cases it will end up being temporary cause once they graduate there prices will go up, but it is an option because they have to charge at a much cheaper rate! (They have to report to a licensed therapist and can only have a session if the person they report to is in the building with them..)

I found a therapist that only charged 35 dollars a session..of course i am no longer seeing them due to them graduating but for what i got out of it was worth it and extremely helpful!

And there is also online telehealth options in case you need that instead.

So even if its temporary thats okay, especially if you need help now.

just a reminder that BetterHelp is selling your fucking data and that they themselves have said at industry meetings that they're a data-driven company more than a people-driven company

It feels like for a while in there that people were dropping them as a sponsor but now that the controversy has slightly dimmed there are so many ads for them again; do not give them your information, do not give them your money

I know insurance is a pain in the ass and mental health treatments cost too much out of pocket for most people. So do they, that's why they're making this little bait and switch operation. Helping people is, at best, a side product of their data harvesting, and at worst just a trick to lure people in.
