A YouTube comment I found a while ago that I like:

Counselor Worf > counselor Troi

[–] Hyggyldy@sffa.community 19 points 2 years ago

Doesn't he cheer up a little girl with scars at one point?

Not gonna lie, having a therapy Worf would probably do everyone a little good.

I know this is a meme but as someone with ADD (there was no H when I was diagnosed), PTSD, and had been battling chronic depression since 1989, I can't stress enough how accurate this meme is. Every day you are alive is a triumph. It might not feel like it, but it is.

ADHD combination type and used to battle depression with anhedonia every single day. I wasn't sad, I was uninterested and couldn't feel pleasure. I haven't beaten it but I'm in control these days.

It's an exhausting feedback loop. The less I did because I just couldn't get myself together enough to do anything the worse I felt. The worse I felt, the less I was able to do.

I see you, friend.

...uninterested and couldn't feel pleasure.

Not so long ago I finally came to terms that I would never feel true happiness and joy like I did when I was very young. For maybe twenty to twenty five years I chased after it and all it did was make me miserable and sick. Now I just focus on hanging on and feeling content with it. It's nice.

EDIT: I see ADHD subs focus on how one can hyperfixate on something then drop it. Many saw it as a failure. I see as a triumph because it means that I was interested and driving pleasure from someone well enough to not only get out of bed but also focus and be passionate, if only for a little while. To me, hyperfixation is a week or two of not having to struggle to get out of bed to just pee.

"You told me it will get worse." "It will," Wit said, "but then it will get better. Then it will get worse again. Then better. This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say. That is truth. I promise you Kaladin: You will be warm again."

Can confirm. Source: ADHD and clinical depression. Klingon therapist is best therapist.

ADHD and severe MDD checking in, keep fighting, Agent F.

Worf straight up respected Garak when they were trying to escape the Dominion prison and Garak had to go into a tiny hole for long periods at a time to send a signal out.

Honestly, Worf/Michael Dorn is a goddamn treasure.

May you find Glory in all your future battles

@Stamets this isn't actually a line from the show right? I wish it were formatted a little differently so I could put it up in my therapy office. Maybe I'll make my own :)

[–] thepreciousboar@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

It is from DS9, not from Picard

Who's cutting onions in here

Klingons are the wisest race. If you disagree they WILL CUT YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF.
