>first time talking to a therapist >tell him about half

My therapist still couldnt understand that writing emails or making a phonecall is a problem for me. Sometimes I really wonder if we know more about mental illness than they do.

What antidepressants?

I wonder if they've gotten better since I last took some over 15 years ago. Do they still use prozac and paxil or has it been replaced by zoloft?

I missed out on zoloft since I was too young for it. Does that actually work? Is there something better coming along?

It's not even mental illness, I'm incurably ill and it's making my life hell. Not being able to live a remotely normal life lead to fully fledged depression, and my doctor said I should get help to learn how to deal with it.

Opipramol, appears to be a European thing.

I had a similar experience where my counselor was almost in tears at me talking about my life and then almost scolding me when I wouldn't react much to it. Then when i did react she used it as an excuse to react herself.

seems like 90+ percent of people who see "mental health professionals" are normies without any real problems.

We do. They go down check list after check lists and try to pigeon hole you. They don't have any real insight

So there's no real reason to visit a therapist?

Did you stop reading after the first couple of words?

Lucky. I bet it even works.

The main thing I would do if I went back would use it for mental health benefits into the future.

I'm going to be upfront about it. I'll tell them if they can help me, great (I doubt it), but I want them to back me up when I apply for benefits.

And I'll be completely honest. I genuinely do want to be helped, but the rot is reeeeally fucking deep. Once I describe how I've been most of my life and my worldview they'll know I'm not scamming and that I'm genuinely broken. Good luck figuring me out, health professionals!

>tfw put on a mask during therapy so that i don't reveal my power level
i know it won't help but i don't believe anyone can help me anyway
and i do enjoy talking with my therapist as he is cool and smart guy
it's like visiting a friend twice a month

uhhh sounds like you have a terrible therapist, try another.

I'm not gonna get benefits despite being physically unable to work most jobs that don't require fancy degrees.

I waited 8 weeks for this appointment, this isn't speed-dating.
