Venting Therapy is a buisness.

[golgappa]

Therapy is just a buisness to get money from the one struggling while not actually helping anyone,I have spent so much on it they tell me basic shit i am not a brain dead I just have depression , anxiety ,insomnia and ocpd ik what I can do when I am panicking the point is I am not able to when I am going through that stage my mind is repeating the same thoughts again and again even if I write shit down and think of a solution ik the answer that maybe I will be fine but the possibility it not going wrong that keeps me thinking
Even the medicine won't help been eating depression medicine and getting CBT as a 11 year old kid if anything it makes me feel worse and useless a Zombie

There is NO cure to mental health it's all a lie that it gets better, sure it gets better but it keeps coming back in past 10 years I have experienced extreme depression that last for 3 years almost and the happiness/peace Last for 3-4 month to a year that's it, it's like a cycle loop that I am stuck in no matter how much I try i already know the ending and am delaying it

Those businesses need workers to do shit repetitive manual labour jobs day in day out that ensures you stay in a cycle of poverty and are reliant on your employer--dependent on them. Oh, in a personal-relationship that's 'financial abuse'? When governments and corporations do it it's 'good' financial management? Huh... you learn something new every day. Have you tried therapy? You'll spend an exorbitant amount of money for a middle-class fuckwit to tell you the most inane pieces of information and to print out 'information' sheets for you that they found using an internet search engine, because you're clearly an uneducated serf, incapable of using a computer in the 21st century. How can we gaslight you into accepting a objectively shit, unfair, unequal, soul-destroying, mind-destroying, body-destroying, polluting, mean, cruel, dirty, sick, environment? It's all your fault. Just imagine harder! Smell the rainbow!

It really sounds like you've suffered a lot, I imagine it must be tiring what you've been through, it's so cruel to me how there's all this suffering in existing. But anyway I wish you the best.

Pretty much spot on for most of the field (sure there are some who genuinely care, but those are far and few, and even then they focus on the 'wrong' things like focusing on coping, taking off CTB or death as an option (I understand why - liability, ethics and legal complications). I've sorta had that hunch when I was young and even as I was in college, in my 20's and such. So to me, I see them as they are just out there to profit off my misery and suffering and don't even consider them as an option to my problems. Instead, I had to find my own solutions to my problems, to varying degrees of success and if I fail, well then it would just be time towards CTB.

I'm sorry you feel this way. I've been skeptical about therapy prior to starting it and although it's still relatively new, I truly don't know what to think of it. I don't know if it actually helps me or if I'm under the placebo effect that because I've been told that it'd help, I'm under the illusion that it's helping. I've switched therapists once because of my school schedule and quite frankly, the first one sucked. Despite therapy being supposed to be an hour, she made it only 40 minutes long making me feel empty and that she's only here for the money and not to fix my messed up brain. She works for 2/3 of the hour and earns the same money which is great for making me even more depressed than I already am. She couldn't understand me over my accent either and I'm super self-conscious about how I speak. My second new one is much better though. She actually does her job by talking and listening to me for an hour. She doesn't constantly ask or misunderstand what I say which is a massive improvement. She asked stuff that at least made me feel like she cared, and offered to be with me on the phone when calling a psychiatrist because I was anxious. I tend to enjoy talking to her. To top it off, I've briefly talked about suicide with her and she lets me talk about it. She tells me she's sorry for me feeling this way and that one day I'll find people who won't care about my accent and that I'll find some balance in my life. I don't know what to think about it but I'd say therapy is probably helping me. At the same time, I don't personally think it's something I'll ever pay for though. Around $100 per session once a week does NOT even come close to being worth the benefit (if it's actually helping and not my desperation). The only reason why I'm continuing is because my health insurance fully pays for it meaning it's free. Unless your health insurance covers therapy, it's pretty dumb to go and even then, you have to spend that time and energy to get a therapist you actually like. Right now, I don't even believe in getting better at all but trying is the only thing I can do for now because I'm too much of a coward. I wish you the best .

Therapy is BS. Therapists can lie to the public about the different situations they are truly qualified, trained and experienced to handle. I tried it and each therapist had their own issues, one even admitted to me! Another used me as her captive audience to spew her monologue on religion and politics, completely wasting my time and money. I gave up and have only since found others telling similar stories of therapy not doing anything for them.

I don't want to actually disagree with you, but this forum, by its very nature, is biased against therapy.

The reason being that people for which therapy IS successful are less likely to wind up in SaSu.

Well, actually, if you haven't tried any therapy at all, you might still wind up here, but the point
I am trying to make is that people here are typically the worst cases, which for some reason or other
are resistant to therapy.

It is easy to further this into a very cynical view - that therpists are only in it for the money.
But its a job. They need to live. They need to buy clothes and have shelter. We all need money for that.
That doesn't make what they do useless. I am sure they do manage to help some people - just not us.

There are many caring, professional people who's passion it is to help others.
Unfortunately the system is fractured.
I'm sorry your experience was so bad

 

[legoshi]

I ain't paying no one to fake talk to me.

 

[colorlesstsukuru]

Therapy is the most cynical profession. You're paying someone to pretend to care.

It's easier to just use an ai bot lol

 

[theolivanderroach]

This one of the reasons I've always denied "professional" mental health services. It's all a guessing game and we're just lab rats and/or paypigs

 

[sevennn]

i tried it. i just couldn't get into it. it feels so wrong to go to someone who you don't know at all. sit in front of them and tell them everything and pay a lot of money for it.

It's easier to just use an ai bot lol

yeah that's been helping me a lot more actually

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Exactly, all it is to them is a way to profit from people's suffering, that's it. Also, therapy is absolutely bullshit for some people like me because my way of thinking about life isn't flawed. It isn't me that's sick but rather this society that is sick. I'm living in a sick society that thinks suffering and hardship is okay

Same. I also don't confide in them, I always feel they'll gaslight me. I'm sure most of them do what something like chatgpt does, for example. Actually it has been helping make sense of some of my thoughts lately. I talk to it about things I'd never do to another human, also because humans wouldn't be 24/7 able to put up with all my infinite BS lol. Also I have no energy to search around for ''professional help'' and I think it would be pointless to me anyway
