lately i cant feel better without getting advice.i dont trust myself to decide to be proactive for some reason. its like the only person who can pull me out is my therapist.. i will wait and wait until i can just get rid of these mental blocks towards doing anything besides going to work
god damn it
i feel like i have no control sometimes and this scares me... that life just blows me around but i want to cope better because i want to get out of this town really bad. I KNOW there are ways people cope and i want to be self-reliant.
Help please
who thinks that not believing i have control/ making a move when im depressed is the problem here?

Sorry you feel depressed
In my experience, therapy became THE focus rather than a means to an end. It can become a goal in and of itself rather than part of my journey. I wonder if this is similar for you?
As someone else said, therapy isn't the problem per sae, it's how you are using it. If you feel worse after therapy or feel that you're relying on T to help you feel better, it might not be helping you. Trust your intuition on this as it's usually right.
It has taken me a long time but now I've realised my problem and I'm trying to use therapy as a way of exploring how to make my life better and more importantly how to rely on myself, not T. T can be there as a support, but ultimately I need to learn how to live my own life.
