I don't go to therapy, I don't believe in it. My father has been pressuring me to see one but I think it is just a waste of time.
What's wrong Anon?

I was just curious if anything could help. I dunno, everybody says talking through things helps, but when I start to talk about it with my family or piers, I feel like a burden and that they don't want to listen to me anymore, that's probably just me over exaggerating.

Not many.

Maybe it's better that way, a small group of people seems more connected.

Yeah but it also feels like we're always talking to the same people all the time.

>Walk out of building and toss card in dumpster

Same thing with female jew doctor that wanted me to take prozac mixed with merilax then go to therapy to work on my back because I was not walking like 'normal' people. I told her to give me her card. I tossed card in outside dumpster.

That was in MARCH 2015.

>normal lifestyle

Work some shitty job 8hrs a day to support people who love you out of convenience until you're 60 so you can retire. Then you die…yeah, totally normal

i just started going to a psychiatrist. he doesn't know how to deal with emotions/he's very pedantic, so all he did was prescribe me antidepressants.

i have been to a couple therapists in the past, they are useless. i was stuck in a depression cycle though and no one was there to drag me out until i somehow managed to start talking to a single human being=> became friends=> started a relationship=> unhealthy relationship => dumped him. so to answer your questions, no therapy won't help. you have to help yourself. but if you're depressed definitely do something about it. i was too scared to tell anyone and i just kept it bottled up and became extremely suicidal extremely quickly.

if anyone needs help with depression or is at a bad time in their life talk to me… i can try to help i've been through that shit and i wish someone would have helped me earlier before it spiraled out of control.

Thanks for the advice, I haven't really told anyone in my family. I'm afraid of what they will say I guess.

Am I the only one who's had a good experience with a therapist?

>sliding scale payment so you can pay less if you can't afford it

>bi-weekly to weekly sessions as needed

>had the same therapist for over a year now

>have good discussions that bring up a lot of feelings and helps me to confront the issues I struggle with

Seriously guys? Find a new therapist if one just wants to give you drugs. Mine has never offered to prescribe me anything, the most she's done is to give me a couple of tests to see how I compare to others who are struggling with similar issues.

Where do you guys live that therapists are such shit?

VT here. We've got good therapists.

My paranoia won't let me see a therapist. I always worry that their "discussion is just between us" claim is just bullshit, and if they were with friends, they would shittalk about how pathetic their patients are.

I had the same problem when I was forced into seeing a therapist. Complained that I felt like I wanted to die during high school, teachers called parents and set up a therapist to meet with me.

I was so worried she would find what I had to say stupid or funny and that she would judge me, or tell my dad and he would be angry at me for being depressed, so I just said some bullshit that made me seem a bit down in the dumps at the moment.

Now everyone thinks I'm playing it up for attention, like they think I did in high school.

I never will. I hate talking about my problems. I feel like if I even tell close friends I'm just being a burden. I don't want anyone to worry about me if they don't need to. I also have a lot of trust issues. I trust maybe 2 people. Fuck getting therapy.
