I actually never found therapy helpful because I felt therapists couldn't relate. That's why I prefer peer support groups led by certified peer specialists (people who live with mental illness themselves). I also lead a support group with the National Alliance on Mental Illness. I don't have a master's in counseling, but I did a three day training course and I have lived with depression and anxiety pretty much all my life. I'm not sure what it's like in Sweden, but in the US these groups are usually free. I also have links to websites for virtual groups that people can attend from anywhere in the world. Let me know if you would like them.
