ReplyAs someone who has had major depressive disorder since elementary school and has harmed myself in the past as well as received varied kinds of therapy, 1. ‘help’ does not always work for various reasons (doesn’t mean you shouldn’t seek it out, I just mean that it isn’t as simple and easy as ‘get help because it works’), and 2. getting help is not as easy as people make it out to be. I was getting help and then my workplace changed their insurance which my therapist did not accept and I couldn’t get help anymore. Make mental healthcare more accessible if you want more people to get it. Make help more effective and actually helpful if you want it to work.
I live in PA and I voted for Fetterman but as someone who’s entire life has been mental health struggles and gymnastics with the system, and how a large portion of it actually made my problems worse and then my efforts to get better were effectively cancelled out, I hate it when anyone – especially politicians – try to make mental health into an easily solvable problem.
ReplyCoolest guy ever
ReplyJust asking..en i do not mean to be cruel..can u watch porn in that thing?😅
ReplyThank you Senator John Fetterman. I’m 4 wars and 3 divorces; ptsd therapy helps but doesn’t cure. I really appreciate your ability to continue to be “clued-in”. May more like minded people like you find a way to bump out the less abled citizens who can’t lead our amazing country.
ReplyOMGOSH! Can you believe what he would wear on the master Colberts show!!! Are those shorts?? Does he seem far too comfortable. I do not want my gov workers comfortable!! 😂omg I kid. I love this man and his wife to pieces ❤❤❤❤❤ amazing human for sure ❤
ReplyMy dude! I’m proud of my state for electing him. He’s sharp and he seems like a good dude.
ReplyHe wear short pants n hoody. Really, someone making $180k per year at least can afford a Walmart dress suit. Unlike GOP dress successfully. People need to start thinking about their priority as public servants.
