I appreciate your effort, but I think you are making assumptions and maybe through them misunderstanding certain elements of the situation: I don't see the psychologists as only negative - I am however frustrated, disappointed and angry with them because I had a great deal of hope in this program to help me in a tangible way. It's not like the complexity of the situation is lost on me, I just had every hope that this **** would actually help. As for my feelings towards my ex, they have changed a lot in the time I was in hospital. I won't get into that.

The program I was in did not focus on anger management alone, it focused on emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships - the skills they taught us however ONLY helped me in terms of my anger management and not with the issues/emotions I really struggle with.

I spoke to them about this and they told me about how suppression can manifest as sadness and loneliness, but they never went into how to release whatever as been suppressed or how to stop suppressing if that is the default behavior. When I asked them about this their reply was "it's difficult" - which doesn't answer my question or help me.

I am extremely frustrated with psychology at the moment, I feel that if it's a real science it should be able to be applied to a problem to solve it. I just want the bad things to go away: There is a simple problem, they claim to have a solution - so why doesn't it actually solve anything?

I feel like they studied for 5 - 7 years so they should be experts on the subject and should be able to help me in a way that is measurable.

What frustrates me most is that these AMAZING new skills are the type of ******** you can Google. If you just Google "What to do when I'm sad?" or angry or whatever DBT activities come up (they just don't call it DBT). I've OBVIOUSLY tried these activities way before I even considered seeing a professional, so for the professionals to give me a Google answer is infuriating. In the intense emotional moments the skills are absolutely useless and everything goes back to how it was. I am fed-up with this pseudo science ********.

I've lost what little respect I had for the schools of psychology. I'll deal with the problem myself through trail and error and listening to how others who actually have the problem deal with it in ways that produce REAL results. If nothing helps so be it and society can go **** itself.
