Which patients are a lost cause?

I'm starting therapy again soon, but I've seen many in my life. I feel burned out now and think it might be too late for therapy.

I've started therapy again too and I feel like a lost cause tbh. It's just that I don't feel like I actually want to change anything

I would still at least try going to therapy. Everyone on this site deserves better, and a good therapist might help you get there.

I really really feel this so much. I have done so much therapy already. I have been to a psychiatric clinic for 10 weeks. I've done group therapy. I go to self help groups.

I am starting to feel like a lost cause, and like nothing or no one can help me.

It's never too late for therapy, there's different stages and some might have it a lot harder for therapy to succeed but it's never too late. Though I'd say unfortunately most therapists aren't great, but there's good ones out there that care, hopefully yours manages to help you.

idk tbh. when i ask my therapist this question she always says im far from being a lost cause and even when some therapists refuse patients its not the patients fault but the inability of the therapist or bc the therapist has personal issues they need to work on. my therapist trains other aspiring therapists so i would assume she has a good insight on this and she talks very openly to me about these things.
to me she said that there r still so many methods i havent tried out (other ppl as well) that when ppl ctb it frustrates her bc she knew that there could have been methods that could have helped.
she also told me that most humans impulsively try to ctb and most of them fail or are left with irreversible damage.
her saying these things is one of the reasons why im giving life one last chance (probably till im 25) because i am one of those people who impulsively attempted multiple times and now im left with stuff like nerve damage and just trauma from the psych ward and just the horrible medical system.

No one. The biggest obstacle to it however is a negative mindset. Others can only support you so much, the path however, you have to walk alone. If you are not willing to do that and believe that everything is lost already then it will most likely just turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
