Iīve thought about my therapy experiences, when I was in therapy and after, when Iīve searched for a new T after being terminated/abandoned.

I live by myself, I have only one friend, my parents and other relatives live far away and it wouldnīt be easier if I lived somewhere nearer to them. Iīm in no relationship and have never been and Iīve been unemployed for several years in a country where itīs hard even for recent graduates to get a job. Iīve already tried to do small things to improve my situation.

I see I was just naive to think a T could help me with this. What difference would it do by talking to someone once a week and then go home to a completely unfulfilling life. And please donīt advice me about sui groups and such, you donīt have to plan a suicide just because you think your life is bad.

Of course noone can change reality, high unemployment rates are a fact, being unemployed for several years most likely implies youīre never going to have a job. I think a T can make you feel a bit better in the moment when you speak to him/her but for me I would never make any practical changes to my life just by talking to a T.

I donīt believe in adapting to a T:s methods and to try to avoid conflicts with a T just to get their so called help. I donīt believe in hiding myself as if I am some kind of freak just because T:s act like I am. I donīt believe in telling my story over and over again to T:s who firstly prioritize their income and secondly the client.

I just know Iīve tried, I engaged, I was interested, I know I always acted respectfully and looked into several perspectives if I had some complaints or opinions about the T:s work. For me T:s are just someone who profit from other peoples misery. I donīt care if that makes me seem cynical, negative and so on. I can read about people who turned their misery into something good, but Iīll never believe that will happen to me. Thereīs nothing to do and perhaps faith in some way will let me out of all this.
