I have one little, related question ..... so I'll ask it in this thread.

So firstoff, if I mention issues I have, I often get the "standard response", to go to therapy.

So from all the times, I've heard that, it seems like b******* that people will say if they aren't interested in actually paying attention and listening to what you're saying. It's just used by e.g. fairweather friends to blow off the person. It happened to me before with "friends" like that.

And why can't they say something else instead of suggesting therapy? Why must everything be made so deep?

I know that where I am now, I just want to talk about relationships and not go in deep therapy again. I'm done with that for a lifetime.

My social worker is great at talking like that but she meets me only once a week.

But again, the deep stuff, no. I've done enough years of it. I've done all the lots of therapy and psychoeducation and journalling and medication and moderated&anonymous support groups and meeting various other mental health experts. So it's not like I'm skirting my responsibilities. Tho' again, I will never do one-on-one therapy again. Done enough years of it.

So what other options would I have, that's not the deep therapy stuff, other than the social worker and those support groups?? Cannot be family&friends. I'm not religious, so can't talk to priests either or anything like that.
