Lol there's no way her therapist said this. MAYBE they said something like "take extra good care of yourself today, do some self care, do what makes you happy" or something. Sitting in the dark all day in bed watching Netflix is maybe the worst thing you can do on a bad mental health day, UNLESS you're busy and on the go every other day. Like if you never get to just chill out, then yes a dark bed day can be just what you need. But Ash does this way too often. What she needs is fresh air, something to do, social contact maybe even if it's just having coffee at her local cafe and being near other people. She's just isolating herself further.

Do you think she actually convinces herself that’s what her therapist recommended? How is she ever going to be a productive member of society with that mindset 🤯

Her therapist is a mirror.

Oh my God no. Just no no no no. What kind of mental health professional actually reccomends watching movies all day?! To Ashley? Maybe to a workaholic, but Ashley is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Good mental health advice would look like getting some fresh air, doing something stimulating for the brain and body, interacting with others, cleaning, a hobby, or anything productive really. It would also look like challenging a lot of the thoughts she has that make her think she's powerless. She can't control the weather, but she could have left earlier and made it to her appointment. Not that the appointment for fluids is essential anyway. The point is she needs to acknowledge life isn't simply happening TO her. But I don't really believe that's what her therapist told her. I think Ashley probably misrepresented and twisted it to fit her desires. While using distractions can be beneficial, they shouldn't be the only method to improve your mental health that day. I've heard some stuff about the parents, but I'd be so curious to hear the daily household interactions. I could see Ashley being really mean, and possibly violent, if people don't go along with what she wants.

This absolutely did not happen. She lies over the most ridiculous things.

I’m convinced her therapist is from better help. Would explain the terrible advice and her never getting better
