🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️Hands up all those who have been emotionally or ‘sweet n ice-cream’ blackmailed into hugging, kissing, standing, sitting, eating, studying? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s every parents’ go-to when they want their kids to do something that satisfies them BUT directly goes against the instinct or desire of what their child feels or wants… and therein lies the danger. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When parents chronically (chronic being the operative word) do this, children start to believe that in order to get something they want or desire, they have to (or must do) something that they don’t want to do when an adult asks them to - whether good, bad or ugly. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Such messages and belief systems are dangerous when used by abusers to groom kids into doing things that they don’t instinctively and intrinsically want to do, just because they are adults ‘who know best’ and hold the key to ‘candy’. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Of course, this blackmail rule doesn’t apply to the one-off blackmailing statement that every parent uses (even psychologists admit they do this occasionally) - but it becomes an issue when it happens so often that children stop listening to their own instincts in order to do what is being asked of them! ⁣⁣

The biggest deterrent to addressing the issue of depression, is people’s denial that it exists. Like a broken ankle, it needs to be addressed before you damage it to the point of needing a cast or worse. Like a common cold, it needs to be addressed before it turns to pneumonia.

Depression or mental illness are the buzzwords of the millennia. Confusing as much as they are real; the symptoms of mental illness are conflicting, the highs and lows are confusing, the symptoms are unclear and theories range from ‘it’s a disease, its biochemical, it’s genetic’ to ‘it’s a neurological, chemical or hormonal imbalance’ to ‘its deep rooted pain that hasn’t been managed’ and ‘trauma that needs resolving.’⁣⁣
While the above are the lesser known, misunderstood and subtle signs of oncoming (or full fledged) depression or mental ill health, the more common ones are those posted in tomorrow's story.⁣⁣
It is important to understand that no matter how much a person appears to be a happy-go-lucky ‘party animal’, a positive, over-achieving or peaceful person, or the group comedian on the outside, they could still be harbouring trauma on the inside.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭: It is important to mention here that the ‘signs’ included in the post are only a cause for concern when they persist and cause problems, inconsistencies and disturbances in ones’ life and lifestyle, get in the way of one's' professional and personal life and interpersonal relationships, exist alongside other symptoms and is diagnosed by a mental health professional.⁣⁣

Kids who have grown up in erratic and unpredictable homes or have felt helpless watching an unequal dynamic between their parents or siblings, will find themselves shuffling between the roles (and feelings) of a persecutor, a rescuer and a victim all their life. This gets worse when in conflict or under difficult life circumstances. “Stephen Karpman called this the Karpman Drama Triangle,” says Dr Reshma Raju (…)
Look out for our next post on why kids take on these roles in their later life!

Many of you said you would choose a one-time th*****me over being in a long-term committed throuple, here's a few reasons we feel this might be the case:
- Th*****mes are perceived as a 'fun' 'one-off and 'cool'way to express your sexuality
- No commitment in a th*****me
- Culturally th*****me have been popularised
- You don't have to challenge your identity, social construct or sexuality to partake in one
⠀
What are some other reasons you feel a th*****me might be more easy to digest than a throuple?

We asked Psychologist Drishti Jaisingh (.psyd) on her views:
⠀
"To begin with, I don't believe 'commit' would be appropriate. Women tend to have more su***de ideation/thoughts about su***de whereas men have more attempts/actions following the thought. Additionally, men are less likely to seek help, mostly because societal norms expect them to 'man-up' and deal with their distress. Also why many of them don't seek therapy/psychiatric help immediately. Research supports that suicidality among men is more lethal in the choice of method they use."

What do you think about this?
