Ah yes, because rich people have never killed themselves.
I recognize that capitalism is flawed as fuck, but people can have their material needs met and still suffer trauma.

Imagine gatekeeping mental health

No one shares the exact same struggle with anyone else. You are right to say that everyone suffers differently. However, just because different people’s suffer differently doesn’t mean there aren’t also some similarities between them, similarities like the underying mental issues issues themselves.

Dude, not every conversation needs to be about privilege.
You are really looking for a reason to be offended here.

All while having an army of people trying to exploit their trauma, pry into details to disseminate to the public, and / or trigger them into “outrageous” behaviors. They face pressure to maintain their image from people more concerned about their own paycheck than the mental health of the celebrity. On top that, there are no shortage of people eager to shit on them just because of their celebrity status.
Yes, celebrities have more resources, but they also face different challenges that most people cannot relate to which creates an increased feeling of isolation.
Anybody seeking help should have support and naysaying actively works against providing that support.

You seem to have a lot of animosity towards people with money. I’m not sure what the cause is, and it’s none of my business, but I hope that you are able to find peace with that one day. It’s a terrible burden to live with such negativity.
Dismissing the suffering of one person because others have it worse dismisses that trauma and suffering is subjective to the individual. You can almost always find a group or individual that has gone through something worse, and what is traumatic for one person might be common place for another. Everybody is different and everybody deserves the opportunity to seek help if they think it could benefit them.

Whatever you want to call it, it sounds like it brings a lot of negativity into your life. Have you tried talking to somebody about why you feel so personally offended by this behavior of this particular group of individuals. I really do hope that you can find a way to accept this thing that troubles you so much.

That’s great to hear! I wish you a happy life.
Dude it’s not about who has the biggest struggle, everyone struggling needs help in some way, even if it’s to recognize how their struggle compares to others

@jesterraiin @EndOfLine I think I had to see what you mean in a really cold way and it’s heart breaking as well as being a really complex topic, I think it’s hard to understand for many people. Also very unseen :(
Trauma is still trauma psychologically to the person who experienced it. The point being made isn’t how it’s dealt with, but how people put degrees on trauma. Like a person suffering a traumatic event in a war is worse than trauma of being bullied as a child. The way these events affect the mind is the same; trauma is trauma.
The difference between the rich person who can seek therapy and the poor person who can’t is that the poor person experiences continued trauma caused by the system that keeps them from affording proper care.
I agree. To add to your comment, not everyone who goes through therapy is able to get rid of the trauma. When it comes to mental health issues, money is often not enough.

Did you watch the video? He’s not saying that all trauma is in fact equal in severity. He’s saying that the body responds to all trauma as trauma and it’s always legitimate. The video is an effort to raise awareness of how trauma can effect you, and how we downplay/minimize our own trauma because we compare it to horrible shit other people have been through.
There are many different kinds of trauma (complex trauma, single incidents, emotional, physical, etc.) and each person is unique in how they feel/are affected by it, but his point is that your body doesn’t care if somebody calling you a mean name as a kid isn’t “bad enough” in your mind to be trauma, or if you know people who have been through worse things–if you endure a trauma, your body/mind will interpret it as a trauma, and to heal, we have to recognize what our traumas have been and process them.
It’s actually a super important message and relevant to a shocking number of people.

Church! Preach citizen!
I wish treatment helped me as much as it helped Kevin. I’m glad it helped him. I’m still suffering. Still in pain. 😢
I hope you find something(s) that brings you peace soon. 💜
❤️🙏 Thank you.
[ModNote] Sorry there was someone derailing the conversation for a while in this thread. They won’t be returning to the community.
I’m thankful high profile people are starting to speak out about this. The more celebs that talk about it, the faster we can make positive change.
I hope someone got their butthole licked my a fat man in an overcoat before the fat man left the building…
