Was this cognitive behavioural therapy? All they can do is set a path for you and nothing more. Just normie advice like "make it your goal next week to wake up early and join a local social club, one step at a time anon".

If you don't like who you are then why not change into who you want to be?

>>39152636
Person working in the mental health field here. Therapists are legally obligated to send you somewhere safe, i.e. mental hospital, if you express thoughts of hurting yourself or others.
I understand it's not somewhere anyone wants to be, and I also understand that sometimes people don't mean it/are just venting. But it's something we have to do, just like we have to type out notes while we're talking to you (I see many complain that their therapist is looking at/typing on their computer the whole time, that's why.)
If you get a therapist that's trigger happy, it's a result of wanting to keep you alive and protect their job/company. I would suggest phrasing your suicidal ideations as a past thing you're hoping to cope with in the future as opposed to something you're currently struggling with if you'd like to avoid the ward.
As far as pills go, I have OCD, depression, and anxiety myself and they've helped. It just sucks finding the right one.

You're not ready for a therapist OP. Don't go if you feel it's not constructive for you. I only started going when I felt I needed to make a change in my life and finally accepted I needed help. Before that, I didn't want therapy and was very unhappy, and refused help.

If the SSRIs are giving you panic attacks, you may have a manic disorder of some kjnd. I've been fed over a dozen different SSRIs throughout my life, and panic attacks would occur sometimes. Do you feel manic?

Try to get prescribed an anti-depressant that isn't an SSRI either way. Benzos aren't a long-term solution for anything.

>>39153169
Ehh, A psych degree is pretty hard to fail bro. Even with the extra year or so to become a clinical psychologist I wouldn't be surprised if she makes it. Obviously I hope the system weeds her out of the degree/gene pool before then but I don't have a lot of faith.

>>39153135
>jumping from giggling to aggressive to sobbing

I have this. It doesn't always cycle fast, but it'll still happen. I've been pretty aggressive the past few days. My gender and sexuality will fluctuate too. I've never had a consistent identity in my life until recently when I started meds that work.

I don't have the psychotic delusions, and I'm usually not suicidal or self-harming though.

Any idea what she might have had?

>>39153199
Not OP, but I want a change in my life too. It just doesn't seem like a therapist would be all that useful for me or inspire any sort of change.

Panic attacks and not the same as anxiety attacks (although anxiety makes panic attacks more likely to happen). Panic attacks are simply a mistaken feeling of suffocation/CO2 poisoning. SSRIs are probably more effective than benzos for panic attacks because they raise your CO2 tolerance.

If you practice holding your breath/breathing as slow as possible every day you can reduce your chance of getting panic attacks.

The funny thing is I said I was in a good mood until I was forced to see him. End of the session he said. Well, you seem normal and healthy, just a little sensitive to your environment.

I had some classes with psychologists, that put me off from every getting a therapist. Some were okay, but the minority were some of the most arrogant and superficial Stacies I have ever seen. Very ironic considering the subjects in those psychology lectures were things like prejudices and prosocial behavior.

My therapist has basically only told me things I already know. My overwhelming sense of shame is born out of my relationship with my family particularly my grandfather. My depression and social anxiety caused by the same and how it warped my younger school days.

She recommender I go on medication immediately as she believes I have an anxiety disorder, a paranoia disorder, severe depression, and chronic insomnia. I refused except for sleeping pills for the insomnia.

Right, and as soon as they do that you're unemployable forever and may as well just sign up for the bux and LDAR.

You're better off taking the risk that you'll actually off yourself. At least then you still have a chance in life if you're in the 99% that never actually does it.

Hell, you're even better off odds-wise if your impulses are homicidal. Many murderers get away with it.

Simple rules:

1) Never admit to suicidal or homicidal impulses
2) Never "voluntarily commit" yourself for fucking anything
3) Never admit to a drug problem

You can MAYBE admit to alcoholism and bounce back from it. The rest - nope. Even seeking help means your life is over.

It is a nightmare finding good mental health care and more often than not it does more harm than good. If you are willing to endure them throwing shit at the wall until something sticks, though, it's absolutely fucking worth it.

Why would anyone ever waste the time to see a therapist? Paying someone to pretend to care?

>>39160153
The modern age is a very lonely one.

>>39160153
Personally I knew I was severely mentally ill because I couldn't control my actions and if I didn't try to get help I was guaranteed to wind up in jail or dead. I felt I had no choice. Sure enough, once I got actual help, and treated the mental illness correctly, the behavior and state of mind that was ruining my life improved dramatically and eventually became nearly nonexistent. Talk therapy is pretty useless but there is a lot a merit to psychiatry, exposure therapy and plenty of other treatments.

Hey guys You are my friends that's why I want to highly recommend to You to see a healer or alternative pracitioner instead of a therapist. I don't know how widespread this is in the states but here in Germany there are quite some.
These people do not believe in pharmaceutic procedures and take up your problems from a deeply routed place in Your mind and work to unravel deep subconscious traumata which every person does have! The medicaments they will prescribe You are natural and completely harmless as opposed to shit like adderral or antidepressants but they do work (better) when prescribed right. These people tend to be listening a lot and are able to embrace more complex ideas and work with You on them. The only thing You will have to offer them is an open mind and they WILL spark Your light of life again.
Please my friends consider this as I think it is the best way to help a robot out and even guide them to spiritual enlightenment.
t. German who is working with one currently (since 2 days)
Alternative names (I don't know which one is the most fitting in English):
natural health professional
non-medical practitioner

I am bipolar, which she helps monitor since I often can't see the bipolar swings myself, and she helps point out the borderline thought disorders during my bipolar swings and also arising from my autism spectrum (the latter results in black-and-white cognitive distortion I can't seem to help).

>>39152259
She has a fucking point though, best way is to get drunk it makes you lose all inhibition. Once you start getting used to talking to people while drunk, you can be able to talk without it. Also being yourself allows you to make connections with people who actually like you. Stop being a faggot too. Smoking cigs also helps with anxiety.

>>39160424
I am a bipolar sadist and a necrophile, so when I was put on antidepressants that worsened my mania and meds that elevated my sex drive and aggression and painkillers that dulled me, I attacked a soldier I knew on a military base with a knife. I was thankfully not convicted as a sex offender, but I was forced to go to a forensic psychiatrist for a year while on probation in a clinic for sex offenders. While there I had to undergo chemical castration and have group therapy with a bunch of pedophiles and exhibitionists on top of being interrogated by an elderly man about my decisions influenced by my mental illnesses and sexual preferences. Needless to say, now that I have control over myself I feel like a fucking monster and wish every fucking day that I could fix things

>>39160017
I hope that at least you came befor being caught for rape.

>was thankfully not convicted as a sex offender, but I was forced to go to a forensic psychiatrist for a year while on probation in a clinic for sex offenders. While there I had to undergo chemical castration
You should sue

>>39152259
>normie roastie

.."roasty"

>>39162186
I would agree with you, if anon would be more specific about what he did to the soldier. He basically said, I came at someone with a knife and then I was chemically castrated. It seems like he's leaving out some important details in the middle

>Go to a therapist
>She tries to get me to do group therapy because she thinks it will help me if I hear there are other people with depression
>Repeatedly tell her I don't like being in groups and around other people
>She keeps on trying to coax me into going to them
>Repeatedly decline
>"well how do you expect us to help you if you're not willing to help yourself? :/"

Supposed to be going to CBT in a couple of weeks so. I don't expect it to help me though.

>>39152259
No, you need to meet with a psychiatrist, who won't even try talking to you and will just throw pills at you until you shut up. This is sarcasm.

>>39162878
Basically, list out all the negative thoughts you have. Well all these thoughts are wrong and you shouldn't be thinking them. That's CBT for you. Sometimes you'll come across a guy that has everything going for him in life and he knows it, but still has depression. CBT is fine for that. But if you have real problems in life, the best thing to do is brainstorm ideas to fix those problems (start small and stay the course) and use your therapist as a sanity check.

Therapists shouldn't actually say they're helping you. They should be tools for you to use to help yourself. Does a car complain if you choose to bike?

>>39162240
I was already institutionalized and discharged from the military for mental illnesss before the attack so I had a history of this behavior before being convicted- plus I legally consented to the castration in my desperation to stop hurting people. After the first treatment and I didn't want it but it took three months to get off of it.

Fucking hell, is this going to be a thing from now on? I thought this was a one-off thing.

Holy fuck, do you think this a valid moral and ethical reason? You're no better than a concentration camp warden, you sick fuck.

:(

>>39152259
the last time I saw a (female) psychologist I was just honest and tell her no matter how much I talk about my problems, it won't solve anything, cause the anxiety, insomnia, depression, etc will just persist. So she agreed with me that I need a psychiatrist and not just a psychologist, that way I can get medicated which, despite the side effects, it has actual good effects.
Too bad I haven't been able to go to the appointment with the psych, because the anxiety is so hard to control, and lack of sleep turns me into a total psychotic.

Whats the difference between a superiority complex and a god complex

therapy doesn't solve real problems

>>39166519
t. someone without real mental illness and/or someone who's never had actual good therapy

>>39165947
Superiority complex = thinking you're inherently superior to others.

God complex = thinking that you deserve to be deferred to and obeyed by others. Also expecting them to do so.

At least, that's what I think. Obviously there's some overlap. If you have a godcom, you probably have a supcom, but not necessarily the other way around.

>>39165947
What makes you think you're better than everyone else the other makes you think you're untouchable and can control everything which you can't and you are very very touchable. First is usually blown the fuck out of proportion though,

>>39152440
firmly grasp it... firmly... grasp it

>>39152801
I hear being a pedophile can cause that to happen.

Working blows

christ you people must have had shitty therapists...

i worked with a psychologist. great guy. basically my best friend to be honest. he never pushed me to do anything. saw him for about a year and he helped me get a diagnosis, and worked with my attorney by providing documents and stuff, helping me get on disability for a personality disorder

This is bullshit.

No psychologist is going to start CBT in the first fucking session. It generally takes a few sessions of the psychologist getting to know you first, everything about you, and sending you to a specialist for testing. CBT is what comes later.

Fucking lying cunts, the lot of you.

Entire thread confirmed for being fraud.

>>39169116
Where did they say it was recommended in their first session? =^)

>he pays his best and only friend

>>39153204
It's a good thing that they never teach them to try to relate to the patient.

>>39164782
but why would they think of chemically castrating you after pulling a knife on some dude? you tried to rape him or something? or was it just because of what you said to your therapists

SO whats the deal here?

you guys think because the therapist sends you to the looney bin they failed to understand your "deep and twisted emotional torment"?

From an outside point of view at least 95% of you nutjobs need to be locked away for good.

Therapists are doing their job correctly

I have a roastie therapist but she's actually pretty cool. She's from South America, so maybe she's not as indoctrinated as American roasties? My therapy bills are all paid for by the state so I don't mind going, if I had to pay I'd stop.

>>39170116
More to the story? What happened afterwards?

>>39170158
She said no of course and I never saw her again. Rest of my sessions were with an old indian man.

>parents send me to psychologist
>refuse to tell me why
>I refuse to talk to psychologist
>parents spend $300 an hour so I can sit in a room doing nothing

>>39170196
>I never saw her again
Was this at her request, or did you just not go back to her because of the awkwardness?

>>39170290
She quit.

>sponges for tax dollars
>harmless

they aren't physically harmless but their presence is financially and mentally damaging

i guess i pictured therapy as some kind of magic cure but desu all it taught me are that those kind of issues are very personal and something you need to deal with in your own time without outside help. i went a few times and most of those sessions were him explaining that i really didn't have any major problems and most of it was in my head and temporary, all that stuff. eventually i just stopped going and resolved never to get help again, now i just deal with all my shit on my own and feel a lot happier for it. maybe it did help in some roundabout way, who knows

ive been talking to my therapist about hearing voices and suffering paranoid delusions on occasion
told her i had a really bad episode, thought i was in an alternate reality and wanted to kill myself but didnt have enough pills to get the job done so i just cried in bed all night
she told me if it ever happens again to call someone instead of killing myself

>>39169763
I don't get aroused by traditional sex or even rape, I'm aroused by hurting people or by dead bodies. They figured killing my sex drive would remove the risk of me hurting anyone. All it did was increase my sex drive and aggression and so I was able to get them to stop the """""treatment"""" eventually.

>>39170934
That's a first, I usually get compared to Dahmer. I guess I can see where you drew the similarity but this dude just had aspergers, whereas I legitimately have bipolar disorder and OCD that (untreated) caused me to lose control of my actions. This guy was fully aware of what he was doing. Cool blog tho

Take it from me, an autistic 10+ year NEET in his room, have seen therapy for years, takes 5+ medications a day for years.

It's all a waste of your time and energy. It's to keep you down.

You'd be better off buying a gun and going to an outdoor shooting range you'd feel more alive than what they do to you.

>>39172532
>take it from me, someone with a disorder that cannot be cured with medication and a lifestyle that promotes mental illness, that the things designed to help you won't work based on my experience of doing everything counter to that help
Do you have any idea how retarded you sound?

Just google plants that you can add into your diet that help you produce testosterone/hold onto it longer.

Like ginger. Scientists have actually found that having a regular source of ginger in your diet has a positive impact on the levels of testosterone.

>>39155779
It's called Doctor Patient Confidentiality (or at least it is in the U.S.)

However, all of that goes out the window if you are underage, or are so fucked up that even though you are a grown adult you still have a legal guardian/are a ward of the state.

>>39165636
People like you should be ashamed of themselves.

I say this as someone who has multiple relatives who are full blown violent paranoid schizophrenics.

If it wasn't for the fact that mentally ill people can be legally locked up in mental hospitals when they are a danger to themselves/a danger to others then both I and my mother would probably be dead right now.

Do you have any idea what it's like to be a little kid in middle school, and you have to get on the phone with 911 and tell them to come get your older sister because she is laying in the middle of the street giggling as the cars drive by?

Do you have any idea what it's like growing up watching your mother flinch whenever someone knocks on the front door, because to this day she is terrified of your father showing up because he refuses to be medicated?

Yes. Anon. It IS VERY MUCH A FUCKING MORAL AND ETHICAL REASON. It saves lives. The lives of innocent people.

Talk to a priest if you want someone to actually empathize and listen your troubles.

You won't find any from therapists.

>>39173459
This, therapists aren't a shoulder to cry on.

They are a professional whose job it is to tell you what's wrong with you.

>>39171117
I really think that NEETbux is somewhat of a meme and more NEETs are supported by family than public funding.

And even for those who are supported by public funding, I doubt it would be cheaper to pay for them to stay and be treated in an asylum.

Autism.

It's a spectrum, so you can pass for having it even if you are legit normal so people can't call you out on your bullshit. But at the same time it can be severe enough that if you do it right you can collect money from the government.

My ex boyfriend was a pot dealer who got 780 bucks a month from the government.
