I'm starting therapy soon, I can imagine it won't fix my deepest issues though, It's like paying for a friend and I hate that though but at a point this low it doesn't even matter anymore.

I've been in therapy since I was 12 so about 9 years now. It's definitely helped I don't think I'd be alive still if I wasn't in therapy. I'm thankful that I got into it so young even though I wasn't back then.

Therapy is like dating. You have to keep sticking with it until you find "the one" or you give up after a while. I was in therapy for a bit and could not get a therapist that would do their damn job. The last one I had told me I was too challenging of a case for them. I also realized my life circumstances were most of my problem and until I changed that, all the therapy in the world would not help.

It did not really work for me but many people have had really good results. I hope it is a positive experience for you!

Nothing. I looked at all of the radical changes I would need to make and decided to choose death.

ive gone through quite a few therapists and have met 2 wonderful therapists in my life. my current one is great and gives me useful coping mechanisms and a space to talk about anything without being judged. shes also very open to talk about suicide topics with me and has expressed that suicide can always be a choice for me. shes definitely made it easier to breathe.
