I remember begging my parents to let me see a psychologist or psychiatrist as a kid and they were so against it until I was about 14 and now I feel like such an ass for making them change their mind bc they were right in the end, it doesn't help me.
Doctors and support workers of all kinds have repeatedly spoke of how therapy is lifechanging and can be applied to pretty much anybody because there's supposedly so many kinds of therapy. Yet all they can offer me is shitty 6 sessions (30 min each btw) of talk therapy and cbt even though every time i try that it doesn't help. I can't afford to go private so its my only option. What is the point in telling me about all these different kinds of therapies if you can't offer me any of them anyway.
And there's a similar problem with medication, I've only tried 2-3 antidepressants but I give up atp because fluoxetine did nothing at all, i can't take my mirtazapine bc it knocks me out for almost 24hr every time and leaves me feeling like shit for the next 2 days. And the only one that did anything (sertraline) just replaced my problems with new ones. Made me indifferent to everything to the point my family had to ask me to stop taking it out of concern because I was acting like a different person.
I'm done with it, i dont want any more appointments because nothing they do can help me. Every time i attend one of them, all I can think about is how much of a waste of time it is and I feel like they're all aware of that too
