ive been in therapy for a while n its actually made me feel a lot better. it cn take a while to find a good therapist but its fairly easy n once u do ull start feeling a lot better. good luck to u user

Sure, there's good shrinks and bad shrinks but it helps to talk to someone sometimes instead of isolation. I also saw a psychiatrist and got meds, I feel great.

the 2 places I've tried were shockingly bad. Prepare to spend over an hour filling out tumblr-tier mental illness assessments you could have done online for free, get handed a prescription they wont bother to explain, and then shown the door. I never went back.
I get the impression the only people it helps either never really needed help or don't know what introspection is. I'm not really sure what else could be going on.
help doesn't exist.

Never been but this is kind of the vibe I get. But I also get the vibe that everyone feels this way? I feel like I know the cause to my every problem, and I know how to fix them, but I dont because of perceived hatreds of myself that may or may not have basis in reality.

therapy will make you feel better but it won't change anything about your life if your not willing to take the first step. i've had my therapist for a few months now and i've pretty much been making progress and then regressing back to my old habits over and over again.

thats not therapy, thats a psychiatrist.

go see a counselor or psychologist who does non-drug treatments. CBT or DBT is really helpful.

mein kampf started at 8 years old, and my parents were far too fucked to begin to help me. I have no clue what my issues are, but I have less faith in a psychiatrist, therapist, etc... knowing either.
>everyone feels this way
I'm torn. The place I went had lines of people out the door seeking that type of """help"""", but there's also no way people rejecting someone's else's assessment of them is uncommon too.

ah, here comes the biggest joke of all. The place I went to first had me speak to a psychiatrist, you're right. Next, during the same appointment, I was sent to their therapist. The therapist handed me the same fucking stack of assessments and asked the same questions. All that guy did was give me some fucking obvious diagnosis and show me the door.
>that was just the first appointment I'm sure they would've helped you afterwards
Yeah, I'm sure.

I dont trust therapists because most of them dont have the same level of education as psychiatrists.

therapy is a... mixed bag.
if you are too broken, then they will only treat you like a kid and try to threaten you into doing shit their way
I have only met one therapist I didnt dislike. And I have seen over 20.

You will develop an incredible self-awareness by learning where all of your bad habits/automatic responses/biases stem from. Through this understanding of self, you will be able to somewhat override your programming.

I've only been going for 6 months but from the people close to me they've told me they have seen major changes in my personality and ability to communicate.

is this a confirmation of the idea that if you are capable of introspection therapy is useless then? Oh well.

i just got more angy and i hated my life more it doesnt help

as in, your hour was up?

you arent gonna get instant results. first session is just an intro, it take 3-5 sessions somethings to really dig in.

they seemed content with letting their online surveys do the thinking for them. No one who has any interest in what I have to say would hand that trash out. I said so many things I've hid for decades and they just went to the next question on their form. It was a massive joke.

why does the fbi care so much about this thread?

A good therapist can help pull you out of a very dark place so you can get back on your feet, but you need to be able to make the necessary changes if you want to change your life OP. Therapists are there to help give you guidance, but you are still ultimately in-charge.

Bot wave. Its all over the entire board.

>is this a confirmation of the idea that if you are capable of introspection therapy is useless then?
No, not at all. Therapy is great because you are forced to speak out loud and commit to one train of thought instead of ruminating and having multiple unfocused ideas and concepts bouncing around in your noggin. It also helps to receive feedback from someone that isn't yourself and conditioned to your way of thinking, its also nice to be asked questions to stimulate introspection.

Therapist called me extremely overweight when I was 200lbs and 6'1. Really got to me so I stopped eating and lost weight

Force to go to a therapist by the state but I just talk about digimon each time I go.

I've talked to people who've gone into therapy and what I've gathered from them is that some young people seek therapy because they want attention and to feel super special and damaged.

inconceivably based. Also, what even happens to get mandated therapy? Why does the government care if you're sad or w/e?

I have no clue how to tell if that's what I'm doing or not and I hate it. I just feel like a massive burden for having existed at all. It seems so presumptuous to think that someone should sit there and hear about my problems or w/e.

I've been in therapy for the last three years in that time frame I went from being a hikkikomori who'd never shower and left the house maybe once every other month to being a neet who regularly leaves to go out everyday and kill time at the gym or starbucks. The therapy itself is pointless but I believe having an appointment time to make once a week gradually helped me get back into the swing of things and stop being a shut in. The therapy itself is worse than pointless and very (I hate to use this term) "blue pilled" so to speak. My therapist is a female who tends to sugar coat things, comes from a privileged upper class background, and isn't very bright either. I don't have much of a rapport with her either I genuinely don't enjoy talking to her (and I'm sure she feels the same about me). She sugar coats stuff to the point of delusion but I suppose it's her job.

I can't really say I can recommend therapy in general. All I can say is that attending therapy sessions has correlated in an overall improvement in my life situation. But realistically I could have done just as well if I just forced myself to get a part time job or something.

Have you tried really hard(actually really hard, not thought about it or tried maybe once or twice) to fix your lifestyle? Eating and sleeping well? Exercising regularly and intensively? Talking to loved ones? Removing distractions and vices like excessive vidya and weed? I suggested this to these kids I mentioned and they got mad at me. I threatened their comfy sadboi lifestyle with the idea that you can feel better by making changes to your life.

Disclaimer I don't hate the idea of therapy, just some of the people who seek it.

it started at 8 for me. I'm 24. All of those things come and go. At my worst I was in cross country and track with a sort of normal friend circle. None of it has mattered. Honestly I feel like the idiots who think any of the sleep hygiene, "just breathe", exercise, set goals, etc... shit is some sort of revelation are the only people who therapy can help. They are also the people who never really needed help in the first place though.

therapy was shit and ill never do it again lmao

>They are also the people who never really needed help in the first place though.
Exactly m80, I was asking you if you were in this category.

NOT being in this category is nothing to be proud of, but people romanticize being mentally ill and hopeless anyway.
