Secret 6 - Rizzoli & Isles (crime drama/police procedural TV series)

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is the "tags" section of the "Rizzoli & Isles" (a crime drama/police procedural TV series) fanfiction titled "Tell Me Something" by "ChapstickLez" from the website "Archive of Our Own".]

This fic is what convinced me to go see a psychiatrist for the first time.

Secret because: I've felt anxious and compulsive for years, but FIC is what convinces me??

[sootyowl]

It doesn't matter what convinced you, as long as you sought the help that you needed and it's working.

You read Rizzles fic and have decided to see a psychiatrist for your well-being. Sounds like you're on the right path OP!

[(Anonymous)]

Nothing odd about it, OP.

If the fic helped something click in your awareness of yourself, well, that's one of the purposes of art, after all: to "hold up a candle to the darkness of human existence." Fanfiction doesn't usually aim that high, but "collateral assistance" is all to the good.

(One of my proudest moments in my years of writing fanfiction was someone writing to tell me that in reading about the struggles of a character I'd written to recover from sexual assault, they cried for the character -- which gave them the courage to cry for themselves, and then go to therapy, admit they'd been abused, and confront their abusers.)

Eh, not that odd.

[nyxelestia]

All sorts of weird things make people finally seek help, and sometimes it's nothing at all. A piece of writing literature that strikes an unexpected chord in you? Hardly out of the norm.

[littlestbirds]

I actually find some fanfic to be more explicitly therapy-like than any other kind of fiction I've read, so this doesn't surprise me at all!
