I can't speak for everyone, only myself. But it's not from lack of trying. I have asked the first question of myself many times but I don't have the answers. Maybe you don't need therapy but I do. And you know, I'm happy for you that you feel that you are well situated and satisfied with your life. I'm not being facetious. Truly, good for you.

I feel like I have no right to complain either, so I have swallowed my feelings and hoped for the best. It hasn't worked out for me. That's why I'm in therapy. You don't know everyone's backstory. You don't know what has happened in their lives. Your post is rude, if not misguided. Do you know for a FACT that medication and therapy do not work for every single person on the planet? Medication actually DOES help many people. And therapists are not there to solve your problems; they are there to help you figure it out yourself. I recognize your willingness to help out, but part of that is to just LISTEN and try to understand where someone is coming from. Just my 2 cents.
