Dear Cecilia,
I don't think it is possible to 'fail' therapy. If therapy did not help then it is the 'Therapist' who has failed, not you! Please believe me, I have been exactly where you are mentally. It took me three tries to find a therapist who could help, and yrs of therapy with her, as well as yrs of learning on my own by constantly reading about all my problems. And now, I still have times when the old feelings come back. I am still searching for the right medicine to help my depression and ADD.
I'm sorry things are so very hard for you right now, I wish there was something I could do to comfort you. Please consider trying therapy again, and keep trying until you feel that you are being helped. It really is not your fault if it doesn't work out. Different types of people need different types of therapists, you just have to find the right one for you. Remember, everyone here at psycho-babble has felt the way you do at some time, so we all know how awful it is and we all want you to feel better. If you come here often, you will see that we all care for each other. You cannot be ugly to us, we will be your friends, and we will love you, because you ARE loveable! CarolAnn
