A Cry for Help

a year ago

Does anyone know any counselor therapists for furries? I have not ok since 2021!

I've been trying to find people willing to help me, but they just aren't trained counselors. And it's not like they want to handle my mental baggage! They just want to sweep it under the rug and keep having fun inflating bigger and bigger!

But how can a counselor know the specifics of living as an online furry? The Submissive vs Dominant or Switch dynamic. The constant fetish banter and teasing, yet I can't do it "correctly". The rePosting of artwork, how you do it in a polite way? Do I need to blow myself up bigger than the woooorld in order to feel connected with someone that *wants* to draw for me? How can a work provided counselor understand those problems, know the solutions?

I have problems with jealousy, the fetish specific banter in certain servers, maybe the need to feel popular or even just belong, not getting "enough" giftart. I appreciate any I got though! I'm lucky to get any gift art at all! Those asking for gift art get blocked, right?

I don't know what I'm not doing right in order to get what I want! Will somebody help me

beyond the platitudes like "I'm here for you" or "Hang in there you'll make it"? Will somebody help me get rid of these bottled up feelings I keep inside due to the need to behave and not ruin the funny with drama? Will somebody actually tell me how to market myself in a way that makes me likable but doesn't make people jealous like all the popufurs with 1000k followers on FA and TwiXXXter?

Sounds all like stuff that originates from much deeper down stuff, so if you can boil it down with an actual therapist it should be alright. The root of things are not always connected entirely to what we do but what we do is a byproduct of that. I wish you luck with finding the right therapist though regardless.

Just what I was going to say. There is no shame in getting help. I have therapy every week myself.

Now this, it's a something I always think about once in a while. Now of course, no shame in getting therapy, but you always have others to help you get back to yourself and just, y'know, be you! Jealousy is a lot to think about in some way, shape, or manner, but just because it's there doesn't mean it can't be conquered. There's a lot of life and will to continue within you, and by god's name would you know it. Remember, we're all here to help you, myself included.
