Anyone else feel extreme contempt for therapists and those who try to get you to "think positive" when they can't fix your real problems

[nothinghereforme]

All these quacks just want me to grin and bear it for the sake of people who don't care about me when I have chronic pain that will never end doctors can't or won't help me with but won't let me CTB. I hate them and my family and do want to see them cry and break down that they have no ability to help others or use but I don't believe they think about their jobs that much.
I hate the tough love ones. I hate the cloying ones. I hate the overly political ones as if I should care about your special misfit social cause when I don't even want to be alive.
Warmlines are just as bad.
Anyone who isn't trying to help me CTB is not actually looking out for my well being, period, so I'm all alone in this world and hate the lie that help is out there more than that it's not true. Since im unhappy I'm at least glad lots of other people have to feel this way too

My big problem, is the lack if adaptability, if one appoach doesn't work, or I just don't like it or don't agree with it. It get's stuck until I start to agree. That bothers me, like I know positive affirmations help some people, some people like them, not everybody though. I don't vcause I don't belive what I am saying, it just feels like I am lying for myself, and I don't like the "fake it until you make it" mentality. In that sense there is this youtube video that I like of Therapy in a Nutshell, where she talks about exacly that. That you can still combat the "automatic" negative thoughts. ( I don't think her channel is perfect at all, but I like the way she is capable of having at least a few different approaches to issues). That is just one exemple. But I am still going know cause some things are useful, mostly having someone to talk to and being forced to take accontability.

The name of the Video is: How to Improve your Self-Esteem even if you don't like Positive Affirmations

But you are obviously free to choose what you want and if you want to leave it's up to you, and sadly I feel like therapy shouldn't ever be forced, cause it doesn't work, if you don't want to be there. I hope you find some peace whatever path you choose. Good luck

What I want is for therapists and everyone else to go home every night alone and sad and angry and in pain forever but even that wouldn't end my pain.
Neither does thinking 'I DON'T have persistent pain that prevents me from ever participating in one of the only acts that's even temporarily hedonistically pleasurable among all the chores and pain and degradation and inconvenience' somehow it magically doesn't just make that so.
Why should I learn to be okay with that? Me not doing so would make those around me feel bad? Good. I'm genuinely furious at my family for calling an ambulance and not letting me bleed out and at myself for missing the mark. Now on top of chronic pain I'll probably lose one of my arm's functioning too on top of the chronic pain that's been going on for years
Therapy can't help this
Talking can't help this
That they make money of their clown act is terrible; their degrees mean nothing and they don't help anyone who's honest with them or smart enough to say what gets them out of the hospital fastest.
I would begin to believe them if they would offer me the choice of a painless death alongside their 'advice' if they're so sure it will make me want to live again

I don't hate therapy or therapists, but I hate it when people are not honest. Therapy is not a cookie cutter solution. And to me it seems like it's really hard for many mental health professionals to be honest and admit that therapy does not work for everyone. Therapy is a tool, not a cure. Also there are many different kinds of therapy and what works for person A will not necessarily work for person B. For eg. CBT (cognitive behaviorial therapy) does not work for everyone, yet so many people treat it like gospel and shame those who have had no success with it.

I hate how common it is for people to suggest "therapy" when their friends, spouses or family members are just trying to open up about their feelings and share something personal. Since when is therapy a replacement for personal connection?

Not to mention that some therapists are kooky as fuck and straight up dangerous. One of my therapists (that looked normal at first...) suggested me to read a garbage book full of affirmations and esoteric bullshit like "we choose our parents before we are born" and "if something bad happened to you, it's entirely your fault because your vibe is bad or whatever". She knew everything about my childhood traumas and ACEs. It was honestly shocking. She had medical license and worked in a hospital, by the way.

I have done fuckton of self help therapy and tried seeing therapists. I learned a lot, but my mental state has not improved one bit.

I believe mental health professionals have a nasty habit of blaming their patients for not "working hard enough" when there are no improvements.

It's not shocking to me at all or that idiots would hire, believe and likely only be forced to tolerate her. I would personally love to see these people have to rely on their own worthless methods after their life went to absolute hell and then on top of that forced to placate some other useless ant like themselves when they fail at escaping their own miserable fate. Because most of this crap has probably barely if ever truly helped anyone who's having worse than a bad day. A pseudoscience would be giving it too much credit; these are grown adults who managed to convince even dumber pieces of shit that saying "nu-uh" and kindergarten teacher fake compliments will help someone utterly despondent; in ceaseless mental and physical pain and objectively better off dead.
So many continue to suffer so these charlatans can justify their worthless jobs.
You should hate them. I wish they were here with us. I wish their lives would all go south and I want to be there the moment they realized that when they want to reach for anything good it only hurts even worse somehow and brings even more sadness on top of constant physical discomfort and pain totally dismissed by their idiot families trusting quacks seeing progress where they need to mark it on their checklist to keep funding.
I hate the ones that actually believe they can do anything the absolute worst, they could've only arrived there from others placating them.
An easy degree from mommy and daddy money and being teacher's favorite by parroting their crud.
