How am I supposed to figure out why I'm like this? I have a handful of different disorders but the way they present is unusual. I can't really see a future where I solve any of this.
Post dickord or throwaway I'll take a crack at yaOr just post here
>>35069372Therapy can feel utterly fucking retarded depending on your therapist. I'm lucky to have one that I've been with for three or so years now, but I must have gone through at least five before that. I had to learn how to advocate for my own mental health. I had to navigate that system for years. Insurance and health clinics are shit. Eventually I found one who was out of network. I figured if I was going to budget a gym membership and my groceries and vitamins for my physical health, why not for my mental health. So he's out of network. I pay privately, out of pocket. The sad truth is, most therapists in the US that are any good at what they do go private pay and reject most insurance becuase mental health is something that insurance companies don't feel like paying for, so when they do, the per hour rate is like 50dollars to the therapist, when they could make 100-200 dollars. It's worth it. I have his cellphone number, email, and can text him.The entire relationship takes a long, long time. If you feel any sort of lack of trust, you won't share your deepest fears and secrets, and you'll just dance around symptoms. There were many, many nights where I thought I was wasting my time too, but about six months in we got into some heavy shit and I shed all that baggage and weight and everything just clicked and we started making real progress. I mean think about two lovers. When would you start to tell your girlfriend or boyfriend your secrets? Would you even know what to say, or how to say it? I will say if you are a man, get a male therapist. Women can't truly understand the male condition like another man can.
>>35069516>I will say if you are a man, get a male therapist. Women can't truly understand the male condition like another man can.This is trueI happened to find a good one. Previously I had seen two different women and one I should have asked out instead of seen as a therapist, the other one was a useless hag. Another guy I saw only twice was useless. People who have no real problems don't make good therapists. Honestly I don't know if it helps significantly. He thinks I have improved a lot but I still hate my life.
My therapists just forced me to do all kinds of stuff, I became more active but not any happier.
>>35069372The point of therapy is teaching you to tolerate a shit life, not make you happy about it. Normies that only had mild problems thinks it's a fucking miracle, but they only needed someone to talk to for a few hours.
>>35069372you don't need a therapist, you need a drug dealer.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kmJE0tqFBTw&ra=m
>>35077076You sound like a gen z faggot desu. Of course a retarded bitch like you thinks all there is to life is money, bitches, and status. Something a teenager who just discovered jacking off would say. I dont endorse therapy, but stop being the same mongoloid you harp on and think that some ppl dont seek therapy for real issues they probably cant relate to others with.
