  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

I am not writing here because I have changed my mind and I want to try to get help. I do it because I have a question: what do you do if psychotherapy doesn't help you in any way?

You try something else, like Life and Death said. And you keep trying until there is nothing left to try or until you are just so beaten down, you can't try anymore. Then you come here.

Sometimes, someone will say something that kinda clicks for me and I think about what they said and it gives me a little more understanding because I want to know WHY? And someone says they celebrate the little things, like actually getting up and doing the dishes, and I think, "Okay, I will do that" and I do and for those few minutes I feel a bit better. It's just a few minutes but beggars can't be choosy.

I am of the opinion that, for me, psychotherapy is a crock of poo (yes, I have been there) and drugs are just a coverup and family and friends are clueless. It is up to me to do this. Either do it, or do IT.

One day, one hour, one minute at a time.

The people here help keep me safe from myself.

HAHAHA I'm wearing a shirt that says "one breath one moment one day at a time" (and yes I specifically bought it because of my mental health)

Consider switching therapists. Google your issues and search treatments. Read anecdotal stories online and case studies on pubmed, etc. Post questions here regarding your issues. Be open minded and exhaust treatment options available to you.
