Long stopped.

Just talking vaguely about how I was feeling with my penultimate therapist got him shoving a lame suicide assessment in my face and making a call that I heard a doctor answer.

So therapeutic.

This is what people like us have to face should we choose to seek "help."

got released :-p ... irony, i suppose. but the only reason i got therapy to begin with was an ED. once that was out of the picture and i looked stable, they let me go.

Therapy has never worked for me because even if I can feel good during a session, it never sticks because I hate doing homework of any kind. And plus, once a month is just not enough. Hell I'd probably need one for at least 20 hours a day for every single day if I'm being honest and that's just impossible.

No as I only want to cease existing, I have no interest in suffering in this meaningless and harmful existence where there is no limit as to how much agony one can feel. I'm not ill for not wanting to suffer in fact wanting to die is all that makes sense to me, my wish to die is a result of becoming aware of how existence itself truly is so undesirable. To me anything like that just sounds like a scam to profit from people's pain and suffering.

Not anymore, I accept the fact my depression is untreatable.

I know lots of people who have recovered though so it's worth a go.

Always remember that CTB is the last resort and you are able to try anything until the final act. Unlike physical illness, wanting to die isn't one where you can just take a tablet to get better unfortunately.

I haven't told my therapist about my suicidal thoughts. I refuse to be put in observation or anything like it.

I should be. I'd probably be coping a lot better if I were on meds again. I'm even paying for the good good insurance to be able to go to therapy. unfortunately, when my good insurance kicked in, I had a broken ankle and couldn't leave the house, and now I'm too depressed to look for a therapist.

literally just looking at their qualifications to suss out who would be good for me is so draining it makes me want to cry.

I actually liked therapy, but my problem now is that I am a severe case, and I'm not sure if anyone here is ready to handle that, and I really don't want to go through the long wait of juggling doctors multiple times now. what's the point of finding a doc I like if I'll be dead in a month after seeing them?

Yeah, I'm in therapy. My therapist is a very nice lady, I like her. Hopefully she doesn't disappoint me like my other ones have. I've seen like 14 or 15 shrinks up to this point, getting kinda tired of ending up with therapists that don't work for me.

I had experience with 3 psychiatrists.
First one told me just to work on myself.
Second told me just to get a wife.
Third one after I told him about my life views told me "how the fuck are you still alive then if you want to kill yourself for so long". Honestly I keep asking myself this question like every day since then. It feels like all my thoughts and feelings just don't have any meaning at all until I'll finally kill myself.
So, yeah. Therapy shmerapy. I don't see a point, like at all.

For a poor man, it will cost him a lot of money to go to treatment, so I don't go to treatment anymore.
