Warning, this post is an "Upper" :)
First of all, all I have in my life to keep me going is the Hope tht everything will turn out fine, and good, and well, and FABULOUS!!!! I'm not sure where I got this Hope, but I have it. And you can find it too. I try to find a small bit of happiness in the little things, a bird, my doggie, the snow (it's pretty you know?), the sunset, COFFEE!!!!, ect... It keeps me going. Maybe you can find that Hope too??
If you are uncomfortable with your therapist, can you switch to a different one? Or try to make this one work? Just be completely honest. Say, "Hey! You suck!" or "Hey! I'm not going anywhere" or "Hey! I hate you" Be completely honest with your therapist and see if that helps. If you don't think you're going anywhere, try to make thinkgs happen on your own. Where I was depressed, I forced myself to at least look into volunteer work. I knew I couldn't get a job, but I could volunteer at the animal shelter. Or (I could at least call around and look into it. It makes you feel better to accomplish something....
I'm thinking about you. And Do Not accept that you aren't going to get better. Have faith and hope tht you will. Just trying to have a positive attitude works wonders.....
