• Hey Guest,

    We wanted to share a quick update with the community.

    Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

    If you value the community and would like to help support its continued operation, donations are greatly appreciated. If you wish to donate via Bank Transfer or other options, please open a ticket.

I am not writing here because I have changed my mind and I want to try to get help. I do it because I have a question: what do you do if psychotherapy doesn't help you in any way?

You try something else, like Life and Death said. And you keep trying until there is nothing left to try or until you are just so beaten down, you can't try anymore. Then you come here.

Sometimes, someone will say something that kinda clicks for me and I think about what they said and it gives me a little more understanding because I want to know WHY? And someone says they celebrate the little things, like actually getting up and doing the dishes, and I think, "Okay, I will do that" and I do and for those few minutes I feel a bit better. It's just a few minutes but beggars can't be choosy.

I am of the opinion that, for me, psychotherapy is a crock of poo (yes, I have been there) and drugs are just a coverup and family and friends are clueless. It is up to me to do this. Either do it, or do IT.

One day, one hour, one minute at a time.

The people here help keep me safe from myself.

HAHAHA I'm wearing a shirt that says "one breath one moment one day at a time" (and yes I specifically bought it because of my mental health)

Consider switching therapists. Google your issues and search treatments. Read anecdotal stories online and case studies on pubmed, etc. Post questions here regarding your issues. Be open minded and exhaust treatment options available to you.
