Have you ever tried Cognitive Behaviour Therapy? I used to get frustrated with my appointments with my psychiatrist, so I can relate to what you're saying. I felt like those appointments were a waste of time because all we did was talk. That kind of therapy works very well for some people, but it just wasn't right for me. The talking didn't make me feel better or change anything in my life.

Once I started CBT, though, things started to improve. I liked that my therapist gave me things to work on. I basically had homework every time I left an appointment -- techniques to practice, things to do -- and then we would discuss them in my next appointment and work on new things. That kind of therapy worked very well for me. It made me feel like I was being proactive and I was actually DOING something to improve my thought processes and my responses to situations.
