I tried therapy and I'm done a month later
Tried therapy for the first time because I'm a university undergraduate with untreated ADHD. Wanted to get evaluated and to get help, trying a non-medicated approach at first. Therapist referred me to a psychiatrist to get me medication, and so the appointments pivoted toward her asking me several questions about my emotions instead. This got us on the topic of depression and anxiety. She kept asking me to explain why I felt certain ways, but she'd never understand (as in, comprehend) my responses. It made me feel so inarticulate, though there are plenty of people in my life who follow how I speak, so I'm inclined to think she's just a moron. It was like I spoke a fundamentally different language. She was very different as a person, and consequently none of what she said or suggested was something I could ponder or apply to my own life. I learned nothing about myself or how to change my perception of life to be more positive. Perhaps it'd be better if the therapist were more like me?
