first off sorry I don't reply much..I just have trouble finding the right thing to say...I do read all the posts though..
2nd since I don't have an individual therapist..I go to a group. it's trauma focused so it doesn't really help w/ some stuff. The group leader is very brash and brings up personal calls from my soc. worker in tgroup.

Anyway this time I tried to verbalize my feelings. Her response: "You can't be depressed for no reason what happened?" and I told her that's problem nothing's going on. Then everyone in the group said I hated them because i didn't want to say what was wrong(which was nothing)
I mentioned nothing feels fun or exciting anymore,I had no energy to do stuff etc Their response:"You don't do much anyway so what's the difference."

I still could bring myself to talk about the suicidal thoughts,crying everyday,derealization,SH..etc etc. I don't want to risk disappointing ppl and going to the hospital for the millionth time to get belittled by everyone there. I've pretty much givin up on ppl in RL understanding. It's like noone sees anything is wrong until i attempt something..and even then I'm either stupid,a disgrace,weak or whatever else. Idk i just feel so hurt right now not good with words

((((((((((( kipper )))))))))))))

That doesn't sound like a very helpful group to be going to if you are coming away from it feeling even worse.

One to one therapy would be focussed on you and once you have some trust you would be able to go into your stuff without the fear of other people judging you.

not good with words

It sounds as though they are blaming their anxieties on you...

My two cents: group is the wrong venue for you and the group leader is somewhat unprofessional. There are probably several places in your town that have individual therapists with a sliding scale. Look at community mental health centers or the universties. If you need help, I would be glad to help you look.

Best,

Peter

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
