So after 6 months on the waiting list, I finally met my therapist. Session lasted 30 mins and boy what a waste of time
Therapist: So tell me how have you been this past few months.
Me: The depression is crippling me. I also have severe agitation and I'm thinking about suicide all the time. There is no known root cause for this as I was fine then bang 1 year I was hit with severe depression for no reason.
Therapist: OK. What I want you to do when you are back home feeling depressed is to close your eyes and think back to your childhood years and think about your family's house, the furniture, the smells etc..
Me: Really? I need help for thos crippling depression, i don't see how going back to my childhood will help plus you don't know if I had a traumatic childhood or not. I actually didn't but that's not the point...
I left and told her I wouldn't be coming back to anymore sessions. I honestly felt more knowledgeable than her. They really don't have a clue!
