Yesterday, my therapist told me to quit my job and my depression would go away.

Ummm. no.

The day before, my psych nurse told me it was biochemical and treatment resistant. (My psych nurse has also shared with me that she has depression. I'm very glad she never went to that therapist.)

To my now ex-T: Thanks for playing, now run along and find someone else to fix.

But inside, the depression demon is laughing and reminding me that I don't belong anywhere and resistance is futile.

I read posts here about amazingly helpful, compassionate, patient, caring, insightful therapists that some people have the pleasure of working with. I'm very happy for you. Those are the therapeutic relationships that help.

Don't give up, Touch of Gray. Just like that nurse, there are helpful and professional ts out there. That's incredible!!! Seems unethical, really! You be well!

Definitely, don't give up. There are many ethical therapists out there that know what they are doing. Try another one until you find a good fit for you.

Grrrr.... That reminds me a little of a psychiatrist whom I saw during an inpatient hospitalization who thought he had me completely figured out five minutes after meeting me (and then told me that I was "arrogant" when I didn't agree with him. I'm glad you have a supportive psych nurse!
take care,
