Venting Anyone else simply gave up on therapy/ghosted their therapists and psychiatrists cause your life genuinely sucks and no meds or talking fixes it

[Misanthrope0000]

I'm asking this question to anyone that realized therapy isn't gonna save them for their bad life, to people that realized their issues weren't just mental, but affected by things such as poverty, homelessness, horrible environments, abuse etc etc.

To share my story, I happen to be a loser that was born into an Islamic low income country, I also happen to be someone that has hobbies that are simply unaccessible here, I happen to be an atheist, I happen to be a person that loves walking down clean nature and cities, but all the ugly unfinished buildings and garbage on streets make me regret taking a walk everytime. I happen to be a free person, I want freedom, I wanna express myself through fashion, music, being open about my hobbies, beliefs to find people like me, but society punishes you for daring to be different, bullying, harassment, sometimes even physical violence (luckily I haven't been physically assaulted YET).
I'm so a highschool drop out because I kept getting death threats in school and almost became a bully victim, but I dipped for my own safety.

Everyone around me is basically hateful, people always glare and gossip, everyone is angry and yelling, even when you try to get some legal work done such as getting an ID or finding a job, no one is reliable, no one takes their job seriously, they all scam you or give you wrong information.

The government only cares about the richer class, but the poorer class like myself live in dirty neighbors full of garbage on the streets everywhere, the poor neighbors also happen to be more conservative and get judged more for my life choices, the men there are taught even a knee length skirt is revealing and catcall non stop. It's genuine suffering.

I'm a soul that is meant to be fashionable, going to music concerts from time to time, taking walks in beautiful clean mature and cities, being surrounded by an accepting and loving society that doesn't torment or harass anyone that they feel as "different", someone that is meant to actually live life and not waste most of my life in my room due to poverty and my country having no fun activities that fit my hobbies, someone that doesn't want to be forced to follow rules of a religion that doesn't belong to them, someone that don't want religion to be forced on them because they happen to be a specific race and ethnicity, someone that, simply, wants to live life without poverty and a bad environment.

No amount of therapy can fix it, mine either gave me a bunch of meds with horrible side effects or, long story short trying to make me convinced of this shitty life I have.

That's when I gave up on therapy and accepted that moving out is my only escape and happiness, and as long as I remain here, my mental health will just keep getting worse and worse until I either die to get locked up in a mental hospital.

I stopped therapy years ago. It's a load of BS. Total scam unless you can be brainwashed into being happy.

It does seem like in your case, imo, therapy will not solve your issues as it is not a problem with you but rather the problem with people in your country. It sounds so horrible and I'm really sorry about your struggles.

This sounds so awful. It also seems that if perhaps you were able to move to another country, you would not be so suicidal? This does not sound like a "you" issue, as in, it sounds as if your brain is not what makes you miserable, rather your environment. No amount of medication or talk therapy will fix that.

I wish there was some way you could move somewhere else where you can be free to express yourself and live the way you want. It feels like that would help a lot with your mental health, waaay more than therapy or meds.

I hope peace and comfort for you one day, however you find it.

Yep, I think about it all the time, I believe there's nothing wrong with my mind, and that my mind is simply reacting to a horrible environment that limits me from living a normal life, I felt like therapists just tell me that I'm "mentally ill" no matter the situation, even if my life genuinely sucks and have every single right to be "depressed" and suicidal, I truly believe if I somehow made it out I won't be suicidal or depressed anymore..


Thank you so much

Yep, instead of brainwashing us to settle for a horrible life, I wish governments all over the world fix the things that make people depressed in the first place

not that i exactly ghosted my therapist, she's someone who's so gentle and helps a lot of people, but her help is unfortunately useless to me now.

she's someone who's very sweet and was the reason why i didn't ctb many times in the past, but after so long, i see that she couldn't truly help me nor kick this desire of mine

I think my therapist really tried, but they didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I was simply unable to apply their advice. It took a long time to find the meds that worked for me, but I also feel like they're becoming less effective over time. I hope you find some relief.

I tried multiple different therapists for years, some of the biggest waste of time and money holy shit. They actually made me worse, told me it was my fault for feeling bad because I wasn't "being positive" or "trying hard enough" and such. They also missed my autism for like a decade until I eventually figured it out myself. I don't go to therapy anymore and I wish I quit far far sooner though I didn't have a choice back then :/
Therapy won't fix my chronic pain and chronic physical health issues. I can't gaslight myself out of my suffering sadly.
