Fight Club. Better Then A Psychiatrist?
Is Fight Club better than a psychatrist? First off: The book and film. It opens your eyes to how meaningless and petty your problems are. How in the end, we all end up the same. Dead. Now I'm not saying not to make the most of your life. Please do so. Who wants to live a shitty life? Second: Actual fighting. Is it better than a psychiatrist because you can take out your rage, all your problems, and expell them in a violent manner onto another person, as sometimes, we all desire to do? Whether it be you parents, boss, or just some dick you hate that causes the anger.

A book or film, no matter how profound and eye opening, could never take the place of a really good therapist or psychiatrist. Or just a person that listens and understands. It also can't take the place of actively working on your problems either.
I had to deal with very intense hallucinations that played with all of my senses. In other words, someone could be standing next to me, and I could be chatting away with them, only to find out they were a hallucination.
Sometimes the hallucinations were worse and more far out. I ended up dealing with it by documenting what the auditory hallucinations would say to me. It actually really helped me understand the sources of the voices, a long with talking to people I trusted not to just be looking for excuses to put me on pills.
Funny you should mention psychiatrists and fight club though. My shrink recommended it to me when I told him my experiences that led to me covered in scratches and bruises. He said "sounds a lot like a book I read. you should read it."
god i spouted so much bullshit.
"How horribly wonderful."

in that post or do you mean just in general?
now that i think about it, in general.
"How horribly wonderful."
I think it is its better than going to some crack pot lame ass excuses for a doctor that you dont know at all and telling him all that crap about you.

Fight Club gives a message. In some ways, it's stop people getting to the point where they need a therapist. It's like a warning or an eye-opener, but it couldn't replace a therapist. Therapists are for specific problems, that you are struggling to deal with.

The amount you pay for therepy is crazy. They listen to you whine and they sympathize and give advice and you're stuck with a fat bill. Probably advice you already know if you sit down and consider your problems. I say make a friend or if you can get theraputic release from a book,movie,or whatever go for it. You'll come out alot cheaper.

How much do you pay?
maybe they charge on a sliding scale depending on how crazy you are?

Listen to the expert, ya'll! Also, MEDS DON'T WERK AND PSYCHIATRY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HOLOCAUST IT'S TRUE LOL!

At one time too much. Meds keep people nice and docile. The holocaust? I dunno maybe. If Tyler Durden makes you feel better then read or watch on I say. I personally would not live my life based on a form of entertainment but whatever milks your goat. go for it. Or pay someone large amounts of cash to counsel you.

I feel alot better after reading or watching Fight Club than I do after a session with a therapist.
That, and I want to beat the shit out of someone.
don't some psychiatrists let patients do the beat the hell out of things with the nerf bat as therapy?
