Anyone here ever do therapy?

Should I taste some logs for the antidepressant effect? I’m suicidal right now.

Yes.
No.

Pro tip

Never talk to a therapist or pschologist about suicidal thoughts, they'll lock you up.

Go to AA, NA or GA and mention it in group talk, that's a safe place to bring it up because no one is a doctor with a Hippocratic oath. Plus you'll meet people who understand it and get the same impulse

once a doctor puts suicidal on your forms that shit never comes off and can fuck up your career, medical treatment or even your freedom

They had me on a couple of anti depressants I took them for a few months, I didn't really notice anything on them and nothing again when I stopped taking them. I've got a bad brain prone to depression and impulsive behavior. The issue isn't something that the drugs actually helped with, the issue is with my habits and behaviors. I'm browsing Any Forums at midnight and i'm going to drink and fap at some point. If I wanted to feel better I would do literally anything not destructive, like go to sleep, wake up during the day and go outside to run some simple errands I've been putting off for months, like get a haircut.

I just fired my therapist

he only believed in meditation therapy and once I explained that my ADHD wouldn't let me concentrate and mediate for the 45 minutes he needed me too. He kinda stopped trying and became extremely passive in our conversations. Only asking basic stuff like "how was your week?"

therapy is like any relationship, you gotta find the right person

Therapy is a scam

If you truly want to get better do it yourself

have a plan of action and schedule for each day. If you break that plan. Punish yourself in a way that can't instantly be undone.

I used to donate $5 to charity everytime I didn't do what I needed to that day. It sucked and I'm not rich so my brain quickly started working with me

Had my second to last Cognitive Behavioural Therapy session of 12 earlier this week. For me personally I don't think it's worked. I've found it kinda difficult to remember and do a lot of the tasks and shit that's supposed to help, despite it being pretty simple stuff, which ironically is making me feel like even more of a failure. I see that more of a personal failing than the therapy's though.
Been on and off antidepressants pretty regularly too. But there's only so many times you can be told to "give it time" before it starts feeling like it's not worth it. Going through a pretty bad comedown from sertraline atm which sucks ass.

CBT sucks man, there are other methods

I'm not really trying to fix myself any more user, I'm not going to enforce rules on myself beyond get to work on time, pay bills on time. I've accepted that I exist as a generally unhappy but often entertained blip on a cosmic scale. In an hour i'll regret all my choices and in two hours i'll be back to doodling or fucking off. I wont likely live to see my 40s and thats fine or whatever, I'm not planning anything, just my lifestyle choices dont favor me seeing old age.
I fluctuate between moods and mindsets by the hour but my default state is a distracted nihilists that is otherwise anxious. I'm just one human, i'll live this life and keep afloat until I sink.

Sure, I don’t mind. Honestly it was a lot of just talking about my week, and stressors and such. At least for me it wasn’t usually super deep convos, or some Freudian childhood shit unless it kinda naturally flowed there. It was just pretty chill most of the time. I think we had like 2 or 3 really heavy conversations over the course of a year, about some abusive shit from my childhood and a couple about unhealthy relationships in my life. Overall though it’s was just real comfy, like a nice conversation with someone who’s sympathetic but also willing to push back on you, not sycophantic.

>CBT sucks man
Bit late to tell me that haha.
What methods would you recommend?

Yeah, it was my first time.

I bought into it for the two months about, I never had to say anything about paranoia or anxiety or any of the shit that I thought was bothering me. I didn't even have to tell the lady what stuff I was doing that was illegal. But it still helped me move on, so to speak.

I forget the reason mum signed me up, in retrospect she did tell me she was worried I'd "end it all". I left therapy after coming to the conclusion that I was an asshole. That was my big revelation.

It hella worked. Like, within weeks I was talking to strangers and making friends, getting invited to parties, and made long term goals like get a college degree. I've slipped back into depressions since then, and haven't sought therapy. Life kind of just gives me an opportunity to snap out of it every once in a while, and when it works it works.

Now I manage depression like an adult, with alcohol and exercise and middle management career aspirations.

One of my friends from the highschool days basically summed up therapy the same way. They tried three or four therapists before they found one that they clicked with, but they've been seeing this one for like two years and it seems like a positive part of their life.

She said 'when you start getting all expressive and symbolic, it's impossible to actualize an honest diagnostic.'

I said 'when you start getting all exact and algebraic, I'm reminded it's a racket, not a rehabilitation.'

Every time my telephone buzzes I see images of hooded riders setting fire to hundreds
