So maybe I don't actually need therapy, that's what I feel like I got out of T today after waiting 2 weeks to see her. It was my second session with this T. T doesn't seem to think I actually have problems. Apparently feeling like **** 80% of the time and going through feeling ok one day to despair the next is just life.*Maybe this is as good as it gets and I'm just trying to make something out of nothing. idk. She seemed to only want to focus on the fact that I injured my knee and just have to be patient till its fixed and healed, even though I told her all my problems aren't magically going to disappear in 8 months once my knee is healed.*

I just feel really angry, frustrated, discouraged right now. Maybe this whole therapy thing isn't for me. I'm already on my second T in a month. I feel worst now then before. For some strange reason I still booked another appointment with her (not for another 2.5 weeks though), maybe because it free.

I'm not sure what I want from this post, maybe just to rant.

I'm assuming you told T how you feel 80% of the time? If you are depressed/not happy with your life and are looking for help isn't that what a T is for??? Perhaps a different T is in order? Did you tell your T what you want out of therapy?

Not sure if any of what I wrote is of help. Hope you find the answers your looking for if not with this T then another one.

(((Tdkgirl))) tell T what you told us. Keep trying. I agree you shouldn't have to feel like s**** 80 % of time.

[pbutton]

Yes, please keep trying.

That's a very strange attitude from a T.

In his entire career, Freud found only one person without some kind of neurosis.

Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like ranting to me, it just sounds like normal talking! I still can't believe you and I are the only eminem fans here! I guess that kinda explains it?

I totally love Eminem. Some of my favorites include "Toy Soliders", "Sing it for the Moment" and "Stan". I love cranking his music when I'm mad.

As I'm new to the forum, I didn't want to write a post full of f-bombs and swearing but I was definately spewing all sorts of horrible things in the car after session.

Good to know I'm in great company with Eminem fans.

Oh yes...Marshal can bring it ..
If I had one wish....a big enough a## for the whole world to kiss.

Taps right into my inner defiance, I'm afraid.

Hi Tkd,
Therps are like plumbers,some are good,conscientious,and know what they're doing.And some are poor,hardly know one end of a
pipe from the other,and assure you it will be OK only to leak again.
There ARE good Th.though,you just have to find them--do NOT accept poor quality,if you seen that in a dress you'd take it back,same principle with Thp. You deserve a GOOD ONE,one way you can gauge is,ARE YOU TREATED WITH THE UTMOST RESPECT?
If not,shop elsewhere.
Good Luck,
BLUEDOVE.

Then I have indeed succeeded in ONE arena..., literally, if not - uh, what's the opposite of literally here?

I'm not sure but I suspect that this might have to do with the fact that this T is working for my company's EAP. I would think there mandate is to "fix" people as soon as possible and get them out of therapy.

I think I'm gonna try find a T in private practice. I think any T through my company EAP might be bias. Plus since its free I find there is a power struggle, since I'm not actually paying for the service I don't really feel like I have any basis to complain on.

Thanks for the encouragement, I guess I just need to hear that there is still hope out there. Thanks.

that makes sense to me- I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's the case. Glad you're trying again.
