Vi Goes to Therapy

by janelangferd

I think we can all agree that Vi desperately needs some therapy. Would she ever realistically go therapy? I doubt it, but this is how I think it might go if she did. This fic in no way covers all of Vi's issues, that is an endlessly pit with depths that I am not capable of plumbing. This is more of a peek at some of the larger issues with lots of yelling and crying that oftentimes were more for me than for Vi.

Disclaimer: I am not a therapist, merely a person who has gone through a lot of therapy (and is still fucked aayyy).

One of my favorite books 📖 to read/use during this quarantine is @pickmeup by @adamjk 🖤 A great resource for the cooped up, the anxious, the lonely, the proactive, and so on.

Just so you know, if you need to vent or rage or just go on any kind of a tangent about anything or nothing in particular. I will be here on shift for the next two hours. If, you know, anyone needs anything.

How to keep yourself from falling in love

1. Don’t stare too long.

Refrain from looking at them for too long, especially outdoors, because the sun makes their hair shine and even their shadow is beautiful. Don’t look at obscure body parts like earlobes or cheekbones or wonder how they got the scar on their knuckle. And yes, it is weird if you ask, you shouldn’t ask- you don’t need to know.

Steer clear of making mental notes about moles, dimples and crinkles. Make eye contact only when necessary, the eyes can be fatal.

2.  If you notice something, don’t spiral.

 Step 1 isn’t easy, and it’s okay to slip up every now and then. It’s very hard to not notice things about the person you’re trying to not fall in love with. If you see something, don’t let yourself obsess. For example, if you catch yourself staring at their hands – that’s okay. It is harmless, as long as you don’t start imagining what they’d feel like in yours. If you see them sleeping, don’t imagine what it’d be like to put your arm around them.

Stay in reality, because you aren’t in love yet - but the second you let your imagination get the better of you, you will be.

 3. Spot similarities

Identify someone you have absolutely no sexual feelings for, preferable a close relative, like your grandmother.

Try to spot as many similarities as you can between the person you’re trying not to fall in love with and your grandmother.

“So you lose balance and trip a lot while walking, that’s not cute – my grandmother does that too.”

“Hey you’re really good with kids, so what - so is my grandmother.”

“You lift your glasses up to you mouth and breathe on them before wiping them with your shirt. That’s not hot, my grandmother does it too. But like, she uses a napkin.”

As absurd as it may sound, make this a regular exercise. It works. And finding similarities becomes easier with time.

 4. Don’t think about how they make you feel.

 Probably the hardest step of all. Don’t think about how good they make you feel.

About how them walking into the room instantly triggers a smile.

About how them accidentally touching you makes your heart jump, and them purposely touching you makes it do a quadruple back-flip.

Just don’t think about it.

 5. Say No to drugs

 Dopamine is addictive. Pass up on opportunities to spend time with them. Make up silly excuses, it’s okay if you sound rude but just don’t go, because you will go to absurd lengths to be around them for your daily dopamine fix. You will call in sick, miss birthdays, postpone funerals – it’s a slippery slope.

 6. It’s not worth it.

 When you’re on the brink of being in love with someone, their words, their actions – everything is heavier than everyone else’s. Which is why you’ll find them hurting you a lot.

Because you have given them codes to nuclear weaponry inside you, which they invariably set off – atleast twice a day.

And you go back, everytime. And you let them keep that power, because of how good they make you feel. But it isn’t worth it.

7. Don’t think about them when you’re lonely.

If you know what I mean.

8. Don’t turn them into art

Don’t turn them into poems or drawings or love songs. It’ll only immortalize them, and make the gravity stronger.

Also, it’s extremely tempting to share it with them, there’s a weird satisfaction seeing someone read a poem without knowing its about them. But trust me, they’ll know.

 8.Wait it out.

None of this really works, because you will always be almost-in love.

Which is better than being in love, but is also pretty hard because of the amount of restraint it takes, everyday.

So just wait it out, by reading shitty things like this and hope it finally goes away.

May the force be against you.

soooo glad my NotATherapist isnt in tomorrow bc my brain is pudding this week and explaining myself out loud just isnt happening

yesterday it took me like 8 goes to tell my brother which cinema i was going to today (hence that post)

so tomorrow imma watch a movie and weave and read and hopefully only use my voice to talk to basil. sounds much nicer

[itsalittlebitofeverything]

I never feel interesting. Literally no one listens to me, when I’m having a conversation with someone it’s like they’re talking, I’m trying to answer and talk about my own experience and they just keep talking. I litteraly told a friend I thought I had to go to a psychiatric hospital (PH? Idk the word) again bc otherwise I will continue drugs and probably end up killing myself and he said “well go” and started talking about his life again. 

I need to talk to someone. I need to be listened. Just once.

notatherapist replied to your post: ((I really should not follow that person. It’s...

I’ve def found people copying me. It’s rude but sometimes you just gotta live with it

((I’m not how to explain it, but it looks like someone took the way I characterized Bryce then dressed it up with fancily formatted posts and organized tags and a pretty theme.  And like they use one of the same FCs I do but like I said that could really be coincidence and enough differences exist that I might be very well seeing something that isn’t there because I’m jealous of the thought of someone playing with a Fem!Bruce that’s really close to the way I portray her.

but yeah you’re right, either way i need to let this go))
