I'm just convinced that I'll never obtain happiness no matter what. Last week kind of broke me, right when my life seemed to be doing alright for once. I just wanted to get away from it all, but then I came across a couple of dickheads + a weed addict going through withdrawal symptoms; I was pretty much forced to stay with them for the entire week with no escape. It was constant torture and a sad reminder that I shouldn't even try anymore. This isn't the first time I've been disappointed; rather, it's my final straw.

I see! I don't wish to sound needlessly hopefull, but you seem to be level-headed and could find a way out of that kind of a situation. Do you feel stuck with those people, or has this kind of situation caused secondary problems that you need to deal with..?

Therapy can be great. It can help to learn new ways to think about things. It can be very helpful. Still, it can't change your life or brain. A good therapist knows this. Sometimes, the best you can do is to learn to live with your situation. Therapy can help to gain acceptance and talk about possibilities. You could work on learning about what you can and cannot do.
For people with nice lives who experience a sullen mood, therapy might feel life changing. If all you need is a bit of perspective, then getting that would be very helpful. But, it's just a tool. It's just one thing that can be helpful or not.
If it hadn't been for therapy, I probably would not be here to write this. Whether that's good or bad is up for debate, but therapy has made a difference. It also mattered who I talked to. Some people just couldn't understand as well as others. The toughest lesson to learn was that no amount of therapy would cure me. I will always be the way I am. Now, therapy is more about how I can live within my limits and utilise my strengths for a better life. I think I know it won't be enough in the end. I think that someday soon I'll be ready to end it all, but therapy has helped to keep me going just a little while longer and manage the pain just a little bit better.

But you are not with them rn, right?

 

[FuneralCry]

It's annoying when people push the idea of therapy as a solution for every problem and for everyone who is suicidal. To me therapy sounds like a scam, the suffering in this world is very real and strangers words cannot take it away. For someone to think that therapy fixes everything then they must be deluded as to the cruel reality of this existence.

Well, the only person I really have to deal now with is the person going through withdrawal symptoms. Even then, I could just not talk to them. It's just frustrating to deal with more issues during the one time where I feel better than normal. During that one week, I was reminded of my insecurities and all the things I hate about myself. Couldn't escape from that as I didn't have the money and my plane was already booked for that Saturday. It was just day after day of being reminded of how inadequate I am. A whole week of that. Everything from the food I eat to the way I do things to the places I lived was criticized by these people. And I didn't even ask, either. I was just trying to make conversation, eat, and cook.

I guess if I go into therapy with the mindset of being cured, it's not going to work so it makes sense. I don't think any therapist I've been to made that clear. If I ever decided to give therapy another shot, I would hope that I find a therapist that gets me. I'm glad you were able to find a therapist that understands, though. That seems to be rare.

Do I understand it correctly that you are or have been taking care of someone else..? If so, I can see how that can be particularly burdensome, but since it isn't easy, you may want to remind yourself that you are just doing the best that you can. I'm just going by what I understand, though. You can fill in the details, if you wish.

In what way, do you mean, that you are inadequate if you are or were taking care of someone else..?

Considering they left me walk out suicidal says a lot now does it
This is what I get for listening to and wasting time not doing it sooner

Every time I talk to a therapist they just ask me how I haven't CTB yet or become a drug addict lol. Not worth the time or money.

I'm technically taking care of two people: my mom and my girlfriend. I'm used to taking care of my mom as she's always had physical disabilities, though my girlfriend is the one dealing with addiction (she's trying to quit marijuana). For the record, she herself wanted to stop being addicted to it; I'm just her support system. It just feels like I'm not doing enough as I'm no professional and I never had to deal with such a situation. Sometimes it gets to be a lot.

 

[Obliviate]

LMAOOO I swear it's such crap. I keep saying that therapy is for privileged people who have small problems in life. Is therapy gonna make me financially stable? get me a job? Put a roof over my head? give me food?

 

[WhiteRabbit]

I think it can help certain people with certain issues. The people who have had success with therapy probably aren't hanging out on this board.

That being said, I didn't really find it helpful for my problems.

 

[earshurt]

C'mon bro you can trust your therapist bro. You won't get forcibly institutionalized for being honest about your suicidal ideation. You won't get recommended any pills with side effects that will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Oh! That's certainly not a situation that you can simply "get out from", since it needs to be solved somehow. Are you getting no help from anyone with your mom and girlfriend..?

 

[Zegers]

Therapy is trending, just like go to gym or eat only vegan products.

Sometimes, my mom's fiance helps with my mom's disabilities. Though, he has to go to work; I work, too, but I work from home so it's a bit different. And, before my girlfriend got addicted, she used to help my mom as well. That actually took a load off me as I got to work with ease. Now, when it comes to my girlfriend herself, I'm basically all on my own. So, I have to juggle a mom with chronic disabilities and a girlfriend struggling with an addiction ... With limited help while I'm trying to work full-time. It's really stressful.

I know the withdrawal symptoms will fade away, though I'm not sure how much I could take. It's just been constant arguments due to her mood swing. I haven't been working nearly as much as I should because of all this, either.

It happened. But It passed right? It will take time but you will forget about It and will feel better. I hope so

I hate talking about my problems with other people IRL because it feels so awkward. I'm doing counseling right now and even my counselor was able to admit "yeah, this set up is kind of odd." wrt talking to a complete stranger. I'll try it for a few more sessions and if it doesn't work out I'll try and find something else and do things my own way like I always have.

 

[myfinalform]

When i go to therapy i talk less and less, he call my mom so he can talk to her instead, its funny cause i never chat with him proprely, i just say im good im taking my meds and thats it lol end of conversation "give me recipe so i can go home *rasp*"
