Does therapy actually work? I've only ever been to mandatory short-term therapy after my discharge from the hospital after my attempt and free counselor sessions from my university. Neither of which I'm doing anymore because they don't help me at all. Maybe it's because their words aren't getting through my thick skull but no matter what they say or how they try to help... or maybe I need long-term therapy? One of them suggested CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and DBT (dialectic behavioral therapy) I've searched a bit about it and it pretty much means you get treated like a child which will just make my suicidal ideation worse because part of the reason why I want to kill myself is my inability to be a functioning adult. I've seen a psychiatrist twice, the first one diagnosed me with anxiety, and the second told me he doesn't understand why I'm suicidal and that I'm "treatment resistant".
What do I do to make it better? When will it get better? Will it get better? How do I get therapy to work?
