Texas Travesty

Since 1997

Calling your panic attacks “vibe checks” makes your therapist hate you

February 12, 2020 by Texas Travesty

AUSTIN—Therapists in the U.S. are going out of business left and right because of a sudden surge in mental health geniuses and experts across social media platforms. Some girl on twitter made a thread on “low-key signs you have anxiety” and now self diagnosing is so much easier. Clicking a pen really fast? Damn, guess you have ADHD. Bummer. Now that mental health information and diagnoses are available from hot 16-year old girls on Twitter and Instagram, there’s no longer a need for educated medical opinions. Some of the best advice I received from social media was to drop my therapist (who is covered by my parent’s insurance). It honestly makes sense, because my therapist is a woman named Kathy who used to be an army medic and wouldn’t know a vibe check from a vitals check. This is a huuuuuuge relief for me. I never even liked going to therapy because Kathy doesn’t think I’m funny or like it when I called my panic attack in a gym locker room a god-sent vibe check. Farewell, Kathy. I’ve got it from here.
