Does therapy help at all?

King of the hill was the absolute worst show
A therapist just listens to your bullshit and brings up ways in which you're contradicting yourself in hopes that you'll realize you're the reason for yourself feeling the way you do.
It only works if you want it to work. If you go in, dick off, and lie while completely shutting yourself down you won't accomplish anything

Been going for about 2 months, been taking SSRIs for about 4 weeks.
Therapy is bullshit. It helps you with introspection if you use it well, but it will not help with your mental issues. That is my experience at least.
SSRIs were effective for about a week or two, but now I am slipping back into depression.
It might make shit easier, but you will never be fixed. Might as well accept that.
it helps your therapist get rich

SSRIs are a meme in my experience. They either don't do anything or they actually do the opposite of what they say they're supposed to do
I've been visiting therapists and doctors this year a lot and every time after few sessions they send me forward to some specialist, then a specialist specialist, then a specialist super specialist maximum etc.
I'm finally at neuropshyciatrist sessions and I have another appointment again for next week. I'm currently undergoing the diagnosis process for asperger's, so I'm probably just going to get the diagnosis and then gtfo. I don't see how these therapy sessions can help me, talking won't solve my problems.
I'm just going to get my diagnosis done, and then try to move on with this new information. Maybe some issues can be solved by talking, but I guess you just have to be the kind of person who actually does things and lives active life and just needs an advice how to proceed. For people like me talking about that shit is pretty useless because it won't change anything. Talking about tfwnogf to a therapist won't magically make a gf appear.

yes but it might help you to realize that your focus on that to the exclusion of other things is keeping you from getting a gf, when really you need to be focusing on yourself first. instead of pussy_on_a_pedestal. png

You're fucking trash

Nah loljk
>>28517654
Kill yourself my du
>>28517478
I talked to my therapist about being insecure and only wanting 10/10 Stacies and hating myself
Now I have a cute chubby gf who I watch Star Trek and my niche YouTube history stuff with and she worships me
My therapist is sort of a mean spirited liberal faggot but he's helped me a lot
Witch doctors are more useful. They got better drugs too.
Naa, only you can help yourself
>>28517178
I've been in therapy since the fourth grade (I was diagnosed with bi-polar around that time) and it help immensely.
>>28517804
I'm self medicate with kratom tbqh, but it's addictive and you have to take it every two hours or you get terrible withdrawals
I'd be interested in witch doctor drugs more than psychiatric stuff tbqh as well, I've been on so many anti psychotics and all of it just made me enjoy life less
>>28517874
Good to hear, new standards were not allowed to diagnose children with bipolar disorder, which means we stick them with a diagnosis that is less precise in the name of not wanting to label them
>>28517178
Talk therapy where you sit with a counselor and discuss your feelings helps only with mid-level issues.
Divide your development into 3 stages -- childhood, young adult, and adult.
Childhood = all the neuroses and fears and habits and patterns that were formed when you were too young and weak and naive to know what was happening
young adulthood = all the beliefs and attitudes you formed when separating from your parents and becoming your own person
adulthood = everything you've learned to do completely on your own as an independent adult
therapy helps mainly with the second one, young adulthood, and some with later adulthood.
most of us have childhood issues.
take some LSD or shrooms, that'll sort you out for better or worse. Or hypnosis or regression therapy. anything that fucks with your mind, because talk won't get at the young-age stuff.
It helped me immensely. It sucks that it's so expensive but sitting aside a couple of hours a week to rage at some dude about how much life sucks feels good and helps foster a better mental place. Plus; he gives you drugs. Which make everything better.

Check out the wikihow on self hypnosis, shit is pretty cash. I enjoy it quite a lot.
Combine it with a book by Milton Ericsson the hypnotist doc and you can do some crazy shit with your own mind
>>28517262
fuck you, its comfy

Elaborate before I evaporate.
i've been thinking about going to see one. i got into a car accident and got a brain injury from it. i have memories just pop in my head. thoughts, see one?
>>28518268
You should see a neurologist, not a therapist.
>>28518333
i have one for my seizures, which caused me to get into the car accident.
>>28517615
not him but
>anime poster
>lurk moar
yeah, you're a faggot
>inb4 le causcasian rice weaving blog forum for korean concentration camps
it's the combination of anime and lurk moar that makes it bad
Only if the therapist is not a woman.
>>28517752
What did he tell you? How did you get a cute gf?
I have an appointment soon. I've felt pretty sad, and kind of empty for most of my life that I can remember but I don't know if I should go through with it.
It's been about a week or two since I've had one of the lows where I felt completely hopeless and worthless, and though these always come back for a week or two if I'm not in a low they will probably just dismiss me as a happy, normal person, because I feel pretty good rn and I've been progressing a bit.
Still, sometimes I feel the hopelessness and insecurity in the back of my head.
>paying a therapist a bunch of money to tell you "just change the way you think lol"
Yeah, go fuck yourself. If the way I think is correct and you have no way of refuting it, "changing the way I think" is tantamount to tricking or lying to myself so that I can be happy.
>>28518706
ok if you want to shoehorn my post into the meme of >lurk moar go right ahead............. oh and assume i would spout some basic meme back at you

1. Improve yourself so that you can be proud of yourself
2. The less you care about getting pussy the more of it will fall in your lap

>>28517178
It does for some people, but no one I've ever met.
>>28519203
Getting what you want isn't ez
>>28517178
I can say it helped me. Even got rid of my ED, which at the time I thought was physical, not psychological in origin.
>>28519275
it does for people who dont actually have problems and just want to feel like 1) they have a dark story in their life and 2) feel like they want to be helping themselves.
Yes, but you need a really good therapist.

In my experience, therapists are only useful if they ask you to poo in your parent's open mouths. Otherwise they're just a meme. Memes don't work in reality.
>>28519090
This pretty much explains it lol. I have gone to therapy for like 6 months because I fucked up, spent considerable amount of money on it but it was worth it for me, cause it helped, given my particular situation.
So it's like weed it isn't for just anybody, and it's quite expensive, one does not feel comfortable paying for talking for not even a full hour.
>>28519296
Hah, no wonder my EX got through so easy and I didnt
>>28519349
>Memes don't work in reality.
as a professional shaman in meme magic i can confirm this is false.
>>28517178
>Does therapy help at all?
if you have a good therapist yes, it kinda has to feel like a friend, when you talk to him.
i recommend getting a male therapist eventhough some females are decent, males usually have better understanding
existential problems can't be solved by a therapist because he has exactly the same problems and no solutions. he's basically just as confused as you are
>>28517178
Depends on if you find a therapist or program that works for you in particular.
It can be difficult to find one, unfortunately.
>>28517262
I agree with you
Why would anybody watch King of The Hill when pinnacles of comedy such as, Family Guy and Bob's Burgers exist :^)
>therapy doesnt actually work
