I am not sure I am getting that much out of therapy lately either. I plan to discuss this at my next therapy session. I feel like I should either quit or disclose more. Honestly, during my last session, I thought to myself, if she knew _____, would she look down on me. So shame is creeping back in. The thing is, to truly delve into the issue would take a lot of sessions. I would rather spend my time trying to make money, cook, keep my house up and be there for my family. Frankly, I have gotten better therapy on this forum because I have been able to spend more time here. Some PC members are world class therapists!!! I would include you in that group!!! You care. You listen. You understand what it is like to feel depression and shame. So like me, I would recommend you either disclose more, change therapists or quit.

Also, sometimes our psych drugs can make us feel lazy and want to sleep more. There are definitely drugs out there that can make you feel more motivated. I finally have a psychiatrist that I can disclose exactly how my drugs are making me feel and when I don't take them as prescribed. I am able to do this because, unlike my previous psychiatrists who only spoke 5 or 10 minutes to me then refilled my meds, she talks to me for 30 or 40 minutes. Unfortunately, most psychiatrists nowadays do not spend enough time getting to know their patients. Are you able to tell your psychiatrist that you have no motivation? Maybe they could change your drugs around and see if that helps?

I am sorry you are feeling so bad about yourself. I think you would be a great therapist. I really do.
