I have seeing my therapist for 3 months. She is nice person but i'm not getting any better. She always tell me that I need to think postive and pray. Well it is not helping at all. It is hard to think postively when I am depressed. Having a depression frustrate me. I really can't talk to people my family and friends about it because they don't understand. I don't know what to do.

Your therapist tells you to pray? I'd get a new one too.

Sorry, that's just my opinion :/

If my therapist told me to pray < I would get up and walk out the door.
go ahead and get a new one.

LOL seriously???

I agree, if your therapist tells you to pray as a means of effectively overcoming your disease then a new one is required. If it was that simple to get rid of then nobody would ever be depressed.

I would try some self therapy as well though, do you know what it is that holds you down, is it a moveable object? Good luck with it.

Hell yeah, I'd get a new therapist too. Pray ffs. Yeah, that's why the world is perfect, all the praying that's going on *rolls eyes*

The tdoc at my uni told my gay friend to pray and to apologise to her mother for being gay. How do these people still have jobs?

She tell me all the time to pray and read the bible but it is not helping. I have been having depression for about 2 years. I'm tired of it. Some days I would be okay but most days I am depressed.

Well if you have told her or him that you are a person of faith, she may think it is appropriate however tell her not to do it any more as it just makes you more frustrated.
