I've had quite a lot of therapy over the last four years and to be honest I find it of no help or use whatsoever.
I still have to take my medication, therapy hasn't taught me how to manage my depression and it certainly hasn't taught me to cope when I've come off medication. No amount of my being compassionate or understanding towards myself, trying to think positively, trying to be mindful, tackling past issues, makes me feel any better. I can think of things in my past that might have brought on my depression and anxiety but knowing this does not help.
When I'm feeling really bad all I want is for someone to be compassionate enough to help me kill myself.
Am I missing something? Am I just not getting something? I'm interested in people's experiences with therapy and how it has helped them.
