Abby. I am sorry that you are struggling with all of these issues at the moment. Unfortunately, at times, it is hard for educated people to feel that they are getting appropriate treatment from their therapists, because their circumstances in life may appear somewhat comprehensible and validated by being educated and in control. Yet being in control, and having issues related to control, may be the main issue that the client or person is looking for therapy to help them with. Stress, anxiety, Anger, and depression, are needs that need to be addressed in therapy, and if you seem educated or in control, a lot of your issues that you are having may become overlooked, or pushed aside in therapy, and that causes a mistrust issue with you in getting the help you need, and feeling that you are not being taken seriously, or that you are being misunderstood which in turn just causes more mistrust and anger. It sometimes is just a vicious cycle until you start therapy, and really start giving therapy a chance to change a lot of negativity of previous therapies, where you may have felt ignored or that the therapist just Did Not Get It. Feeling alone and feeling that the only option is medication because therapy did not work in the past is a bad feeling as well. I hope things get better soon for you, and you find a Happy Medium in all of this to try to unravel all of the feelings that you are having at this time. Everyone deserves to feel better with help, and I hope you find that Peace. Take care Abby. I am glad that you are here to share your burdens. Soidhonia
Thanks for this!
Abby
