Reaching out to others who need support (like me) is a noble thing to do. Thank you for that. I'm not good at that. I get completely stuck in my own emotions and my own thoughts. On day like this, when I'm feeling the way I do right now, I can't focus on anything. All I can do is sit here, listen to music and let my thoughts and emotions consume me. I know that doesn't sound healthy but I have no coping mechanisms for this. I've spent an awful lot of time trying to distract myself lately but it's not working now. And as I write this my OCD is telling me a lot of things (there's not actually a voice telling me things, but I guess you know what I mean) and making me think this post is all a lie.
Sorry for complaining.

You aren't complaining! You're stating how you feel, I appreciate your honesty. Three months isn't that long, however if you feel like your treatment isn't going well, go with your gut and find another T! No matter how long it's been you can be helped. It's been about 9 years of these issues with me and I am progressing great after finding the T i have now (She's my 3rd one) It does take time to build the relationship and only then can you really get into the stuff needed to help you.
I wish I had an answer for you, all I can say is I've been there, I've been so depressed I have felt what you are feeling and I have to admit I did the same thing as you.
