Is therapy worth it?
I know I need help. I cry multiple times a day. I get so angry I break things and sometimes punch myself in the face. I have suicidal thoughts.
But I get practically nothing out of therapy. I've seen 3 therapists in the last year (with each visit costing between $100-$200) and none of them have helped me that much. I usually feel good for a few hours after the session, but then I go right back to feeling like shit for the next couple weeks.
I mean, in my mind, therapy would absolutely be worth it if it helped me. If I spent $150, every 2 weeks on therapy, it would cost me a little under 4 grand a year. I would certainly pay 4 grand a year to be even 25% percent happier. But whats the point when it doesn't do jack shit for me?

Let your experience be your guide.

Therapists are only a tool to help you know were do your problems come from and solve them.
Do work on your emotions, or try to see where does your suicidal thought come from, or what wrong with your life ? That's what therapist are supposed to help you do.

Start drinking water, eating fruits and taking multivitamins, exercising every day, taking an antidepressant (small dosage Lexapro is very good), stop doing drugs besides occasional alcohol, start going to church and reading verse once in a while, read books, and try to find a good looking girl to take on dates when youre free.
You'll feel better in no time.

Also get on a routine where you wake up and go to sleep at the same time EVERY day and make sure you have people around you every day. No one can be mentally healthy without those two things

Sure thing Dr. Goldstein, I'll get right on it!

Church?! CHURCH?! God has never done anything but condemn mankind. Fuck religion. I've read every major religion's holy texts multiple times and found each and every one wanting. I'm sorry but fairy tales about sky wizards have no room in real life. If I were you, OP, I would invest my time in creating things rather than.mumbling into your hands and hoping for the best.

OP here
So basically what you're saying is that all the "inner work" in the world isn't going to help anything if my life circumstances suck.
I kind of agree. I recently got a job after being unemployed for 2 years, and I am certainly feeling a little better from that alone, but I'm still pretty miserable.
