Does therapy actually work for people

[ijwtd3454]

Not sure if I'm just insanely fucked up and so I can't be helped but I don't understand how therapy works for people. Every time I get told to be my own therapist or look at my morning cup of coffee as therapy or whatever i try but in the back of my mind is always about how I want to die. Every time I am told that it will get better I want to stab my eyes out I don't want a future I just want to die I do not give a single shit about living. I just feel like no amount of deep breathing, reflection, and positive thinking will eliminate the suicidal thoughts. Don't think this made any sense but I just needed to rant

I believe it helps people who are easily influenced by others and who want to.

I don't understand, are you asking about actual mental health therapy, the one you do with a psychologist or a psychiatrist, or personal tecniques which are supposed to work as a form of metaphorical self-therapy?
