I'm so over everything

I've been trying online counseling because I don't have time for counseling outside of work and other commitments.  It's not working.  I've done enough therapy in my time that generic advice is worthless.  I already know what they're going to say and they apparently have no interest in actually engaging beyond copy and pasting general responses.  Perhaps that works for someone who has never before needed to get through the door to an actual professional for mental help.


Things are not good.  I feel isolated on every front.  I'm angry and sad.  I'm fucking tired of everything.

This is not a copy/paste response: I know how you feel!

What helps me is describing specifically how I DO want to feel. Pre-visualization, SEEING what you want, is essential to BEING what you want. While it's important to assess the reality of your situation, if you're only focused on the negative, you'll only continue to attract the negative. If you don't know, keep thinking.

For me, I have a sense that I want to be involved in physical and spiritual beauty, serene calm, with paying bills and being aggravated by romantic love only a minor nuissance.

Koolman hit the nail on the head. Letting go of negative emotions through meditation will open the door to alot of positive energies. Negative emotions like anger, jealousy, self pity, etc are self serving. In other words, no pill or no person can heal you. You have to be willing to heal yourself and as long as you stay focused on the negative, you will continue to attract negative things in your life.

If you're feeling depressed, just look up at the sky and ask,"why do I feel this way?" You will get an answer. You will be surprised but you will get an answer! There is alot more going on around you then you realize and you can connect to that with meditation. It will help you heal your emotional wounds.

I really relate to how you feel. I recently started seeing a new therapist and while I was excited at first, now all she does is repeat herself. Why continue? I ask? I guess we need to figure out what we need answers to and deliberately bring them up in hopes of making some progress. I've thrown the whole kitchen sink at my illness and nothing is sticking. Royally sucks.

Thanks, @Debbalina!! I was actually able to switch counselors via the online service I am using...After being paired with one who I did not think sounded like a good fit, I was finally paired with a much better one. I already feel like she has started steering me in the right direction. I hope that you can find a counselor who can make a difference for you. I'm around if you need someone to talk at or to!

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
