so it took me about a month of being depressed and another month just to go through the motions of the county to get to now my third session of therapy today.
About two weeks ago my second session of therapy i was asked by t "do you even need therapy?" and "i think meds will help you". I'm a little upset of with just two sessions this is what i'm told. Not only that but the first session i was told "you need to be stable to talk about some issues". The last session t was honest she said she was over booked with patients. She has 20 more than usual. She did offer to continue with me. I am the one that was like i want to speak with a psychologist to be sure i'm bipolar and t not just agreeing with me these two sessions plus other questions with what will the meds really help with and will it help with brain plasticity? But i'm just curious what others would feel with what little i've given here.

I'm confused that i'm not stable to talk but i don't need therapy per last session. And so quickly to put someone on meds. How do they know what i need? Is this normal for therapy? I wish i could fork out the money for a private therapist but i just can't.
I'm i little disappointed with it all as well it took a hit on my pride to go in and be like i need some help. And i went in to get some more coping methods for life and try to get some grip on how to cope with some other things like suggestions on what i could do to think not just a happy pill or them giving me answers i want to be clear on that i'm sure some can relate to that, maybe? Any who today i go in think i'm just going to be honest and tell her she seems too busy for all of her work load and so on but still see the psychsist and see if they concur with meds. I'll admit maybe some anti anxiety meds may help with some work problems i have. But idk to be honest as well.
