Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Does anyone else feel worse when they go talk to there doc/therapist/counselor/psych about how they are feeling? Why do I always feel worse? I always leave the office feeling humiliated. I've to talk to my doc about this, but I just feel worse. I have switched my doc 3 times now. Every time I spill something new about how I feel, I feel embarrassed and there for need a new doc to feel comfortable around again.

and Friend...perhaps..."talk therapy" isn't helpful to u. there are many approaches to treatment..and styles. even "personal styles" therapist to therapist. also, some people KNOW themselves well enough that there's really nothing "deep" that they need to discover about WHY they r the way they r.....but better learning techniques to DEAL with it. a more active type, involved in your own recovery, accountable...cognitive type therapy.
i, too..don't gain much from paying someone to listen to me whine. i do better with coping skills and strategies.
