Absolutely, as I mentioned in another comment, part of the reason for the story is to let people know that you’re not alone in what you’re going through, and there are avenues for help. Most importantly, going through these issues and seeking help doesn’t make you weak.
Thanks for the kind words, but I attribute a lot of this insight to a couple of girls who are way tougher than me, had to go through similar shit as in this story, and are now on the other side still improving. A lot of what they and other people (including myself) go through as far as mental health issues are concerned was the impetus behind the story. We all have our PGPs, but dealing with mental health issues remains the one that people still feel hesitant to talk about.
Full disclosure, liberties were taken for the sake of story-telling, to mask the reveal at the end. As you and other commentators have pointed out, therapists do not and should not behave this way.
I hope this article didn’t hurt or offend you or anyone else in a similar situation, and hopefully, you’re getting the quality help you need.
The problem is that because the field is so big there are very few genuine opportunities to score. How many shots does a team typically get on goal in a game? Like 10? In a 90 minute game. Whereas in a 60-minute hockey game teams typically get 30+ shots.
There’s also the issue that soccer scoring chances take far too long to develop, and the action in between scoring chances is largely uninteresting and impactful. It’s not often in soccer that there are quick fast breaks, or stellar defensive stops. It’s a lot of slow, deliberate ball movement or chasing a loose ball.
Finally, soccer has (deserved or not) a reputation for flopping. It’s easy to turn people off when you realize five minutes of the game just got wasted by a guy playing dead hoping that his team would get a free kick at midfield.
You misunderstand: you use the communal fridge as a holding ground for the afternoon before taking groceries home. You don’t commandeer the whole fridge for yourself. And if you can’t trust the savages you work with to not open a brand new thing of milk and eggs in the 3 hours between the end of lunch and the end of the day, you might need to rethink where you work.

I’d consider Chex Mix to be a subset of Trail Mix. Some might disagree, but in any case let me be clear: Chex Mix is a God-tier desk snack.
It’s called having willpower.

Well I guess I’ll be getting blackout drunk in an attempt to forget the pain this comment has brought me
You know I kid. Any man willing to throw ‘bows to defend the honor of Seinfeld has my undying loyalty.
We’re trying our best!

God that show was incredible. Canceled far too soon.
My man.
Solid list, but I’m gonna throw some love to Archer (new season tonight). Irreverant, hilarious, and you can watch almost any episode without context.
Yeah, I can’t fault Bananas for making a big move. Just like you gotta shoot your shot with ladies, you gotta shoot your shot on the Challenge.
That said, I’ll watch CT ragdoll Johnny on his back all day. GOAT challenge moment indeed.
Yep
Been skipping the gym since early March. #PGP
You think you’re better than me???
