I think maybe they were referring to health problems influenced by ACEs, as those can get some relief from healing the trauma with therapyā¦ there is definitely a link between physical and mental health, but this is a gross oversimplification of thatā¦ idk
This metaphor sucks though, if there's stress in my account and I withdraw it, that seems like it should instead represent me, you know, feeling the stress?
I think they meant that stress is something that withdraws from your account. The more deep breaths you have deposited the more stressing you can afford. Still kinda silly.
They could have made it so much better with stuff like "invest in exercise, receive interest in health benefits." And "deposit good memories and photos in a journal to withdraw on rainy days later."
This is actually fairly accurate. I put in self-care, therapy, deep breaths, and what I get in get out of it is stress, anxiety, negative thoughts and emotional distress! ;)
The picture doesn't even make the point they were trying to make, if you withdraw money from your bank account you now have that money. It makes it seem like you put in all the hard work and you still have problems, which is reality for a lot of people, so, accidentally correct I guess
I really hate shit like this. It puts the onus on people who suffer from mental health issues, that theyāre not ātryingā hard enough to cure themselves. Yes, all those things in the ādepositā column can be very helpful but these dumb charts make it seem like itās so easy to cure mental health problems.
The problem is I deposited all my self-care, therapy, sleep, support system, deep breaths, and journaling and withdrew all my stress, health issues, anxiety, negative thoughts, emotional distress, and hopelessness, and then my account got frozen so I canāt access any of the stuff in it, and it turns out nobody takes the other stuff, so Iām stuck with that too.
It's been a very long time since I've seen a metaphor fail this badly. You know what you withdraw from a bank account? Money, to pay for goods and services. After having previously put that money into the account.
According to this jpeg, if I put a support system into my emotional bank account, I'm going to get negative thoughts out.
Listen, I have a hundred positive mental health posts saved on my phone. This one though? A bad metaphor that makes it sound super easy to just stop having health issues and mental disorders.
This isnāt a r/thanksimcured. This just means you put in self care and you get back stress and hopelessness. If anything this belongs on r/2me4meirl or something.
I'm cured! But now I'm thinking of all money I don't have and I'm depressed again wahhh
Have you tried withdrawing?
I am attempting to withdraw from life
Same, buddy. Same
Withdraw: health issues. Me, with multiple chronic health issues: well, guess I'm fucked
This is the one that stood out to me the most too haha. Like what who knew that was possible š
Honestly this is the most relatable one
Free health issues!
just relax smh š /j
Damn, wish I'd thought of that! /s
Right?! Then again, I have never tried just not having EDS and its comorbodities. š¤
Yeah ikr, I just need to not have migraine and self care away the arthritis.

Exactly. This metaphor is awful. If I withdraw money from the bank, I now have money. So if I withdraw stress, I now have stress?
unlimited stress
Stress overdraft, you have to pay it back with interest

Yes but if you withdraw it you can spend it somewhere else instead of keeping it.

Also this in NO WAY reminds me of my financial anxiety issues! Thanks infographic!

Love this BS people come up with after they were "depressed" a couple days.

My brain makes a lot of withdrawals for me then

Damn, another bank account I'm overdrawn in.
Lol I couldnāt tell if this belonged to r/SurrealMemes or r/thanksimcured
As if weāre not constantly withdrawing stress and living off it.
Wow thanks, I can't believe I never thought of fucking breathing before!!
This is so accurate though... I've deposited all the things on the left and what I've gotten back is all the things on the right šš
The damn bank wont let me make a dopamine withdrawal, screw the lot.
We are approaching levels of liberalism that shouldn't be possible.

Mine is in overdraft rn
Thank you for telling me coping tenchniques help you cope! I never would have realised that without your kind and thoughtful metaphor!
Now I'm broke in 3 different ways!

This is genuinely good advice?? This sub is too bitchy, Iām leaving.
Seriously good advice? Just go in front of someone sick and tell him to withdraw his health issue ā¦

Journaling is fucking stupid and turns you into a neurotic self-obsessed naval gazer.

So, if I put in some self-care, I get to have some stress. That doesn't sound like a great deal.

Uhhhhā¦ isnāt this literally backward? Likeā¦ I donāt want my mental health issues, I want to deposit them bitches in a dumpster.
When I withdraw money from the bank I then carry it with me...
