Asking for a friend.

[growlycat]

You can pm me any time. I hope you are ok

[Argonautomobile]

Yes, it does.

[Echos Myron redux]

Most definitely. It takes time but it does get better.

[Lemoncake]

Yes it does.

I'm not 100% done with therapy, but the me two years ago thought I would just

Possible trigger:

end up as a suicide case before I was 26

.

I never believed that I could climb out of my depressive hole and actually be happy, but where I am now I've noticed that I have more happy days. I feel stronger and more in control with less extreme mood changes.

Does it get better?
Not sure better is the right word because I can have some right rubbish days.
But I've got stronger. I can tolerate when things don't feel better.
If that makes sense.

[junkDNA]

nope....

[Taylor27]

Yes it does with time

[nottrustin]

I vote no

[ArtleyWilkins]

It did for me.

[koru_kiwi]

absolutely!

is my life perfect with endless rainbows and candy gumdrops? no...and there will always be bumps in the road along the way, but overall i feel pretty content about my life now and can say 100% that i finally do love myself and that i am worthy of love from others.

sending hugs and warm wishes your way that you are able to 'grow' to this stage in life whether you do it with therapy or by other means.

[Ididitmyway]

Yeah, it does..But it's a bumpy road with lots of stops and detours..so it sometimes feels like you are back to square one like you haven't done any work. But it's just a feeling, not a reality. Detours and stops are natural. If you have patience and don't resist these natural setbacks, they'll pass and you'll get back on track.

[SlumberKitty]

I think it definitely can get better. ((hugs))

In many ways, yes.

Therapy ‘gone wrong’ is one of the worst things I’ve experienced in my lifetime. I was in pain throughout most of my time in therapy with overwhelming feelings of insignificance, dependency, loneliness and longing. I terminated on my on will but had to hit severe deterioration before I was sufficiently motivated. There WAS no choice.

The initial drop was horrific. From there, it was a long crawl out of a hole. Improvement hasn’t been linear, but I have gotten to a place where I can say I am better without my therapist than I was with her.

I still deal with trauma around the many years of feeling awful under a therapist, but it has changed from devastation to anger. Mornings are worst. I’m figuring once I’m angry long enough, I’ll eventually feel at least as good as before therapy. Then figure out what to do next.

Best wishes for fast healing. You are in good company :/

[Fuzzybear]
