This is my 3rd round in therapy. 1st time in my early 20's for severe depression and sui wishes. Saw this t about 2 years, started antidepressants. At about age 30, saw the same t a 2nd for about a year for major depression and feeling lost in life. Upped meds. Mid-40's, started seeing a different therapist almost 3 years ago because I was stuck in life with no direction for the future. I was expecting to maybe be in therapy for less than a year. Thought I just needed a little push to get me back on track. Boy was I wrong. All kinds of deep rooted issues were unveiled. Meds were ineffective so I got off of them. I wound up taking a long trip to hell but I came out of it. Still climbing my way up, med free. If I continue on this path I'd say I have a year left, max (for real this time I hope!). Thanks for the thread!
