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.
This year i would like to start therapy but how do I know which one to pick? I tried going 6 months ago but it was a really bad fit. I first had an appointment to evaluate what I needed help in cuz they had multiple therapist working there. Then I had my appointment and she stopped in the middle of my session and cut me off just to ask when to schedule another appointment and had brought up stuff from my evaluation like oh i saw u have been raped... like it was no big deal.
check out the link above it might give you some guidance.
I felt rushed by my therapist too but he is one of 2 in town so I dont really have a choice but to take what i can get. I dont feel my mental health has even been assessed, they dont even know if i have high blood pressure. I sat with a therapist for a half hour he wrote down work stress handed me a bunch of cymbalta and a perscription for clonazepoam and said see you in 3 months. I attended counselling and I swear the lady was a nut she had half her head shaved shes about 60 and because I don't have a bad relationship with my parents she couldn't understand why I would need counselling. They have this way of making our inner pain seem so minimul I just don't get it, maybe years of doing what they do have hardened them to things like rape, abuse, and violence, I'm not sure all I know is it doesn't help to deel with an insensitive prick when you are trying to get better.
Take Care
I think I would have said "Excuse me?! If I could casually talk about being raped I would not be here in the first place!"
Then I'd walk out the door, find the head person, walk in, tell them what happened, then leave.
Next up: Make some friends. Lots of prospects, here, you know!
