Do you go to therapy?

I've been forced to do 10 sessions of drug and alcohol counselling twice by the court. Both times were because I got caught growing cannabis and both times the counsellor said I was not an addict and had no problem with drugs or alcohol and it was all a massive waste of time and tax payers' money.

Not currently, but a while back I did.

I'm currently seeing a psychologist. Last year was really shitty and I wanted to take care of my depression before I got too deep.

Therapy is fairly normal. It has been proved to be healthy to have someone objective listen to you. Plus, it helps people understand themeselves in ways you cant achieve by yourself or with friends

At one point, probably when my self hate and depression were at their peak, I did try therapy. I was desperate. I was drinking myself to sleep and hated every minute of being me throughout the day.

The lady there boiled it down to the typical "mom and dad didn't hug you enough as a kid" That was bullshit, the love I got from my parents is unlike any other. I told the big expert it was bullshit and she could suck it and never bothered with therapy again.

A combination of drinking, a weekend job and trying to occupy myself with stuff helped. I still get times, where I sit awake at night with a glass of whiskey in my hand and I contemplate my life and hate parts of it, but at least I don't feel like a complete failure and that death is a possible solution. So that's something.

I'll tell you... self hate is a really nasty thing. I don't have a bad life. In reality my life is good. Some might say I'm living the dream. But when you hate everything about yourself, no amount of praise will change that.

I would be more inclined to answer these, if I didn't think there was one creepy guy here, asking all these questions, creating profiles of all of us.

I used to, but even at a discounted rate it was too expensive.

My therapist and I talk about the shows we are watching and games usually. Alot of fun.

I did it a while ago but it didnt help me much. See my above comment.
I do think it could help a lot of people. Id rather talk to a trusted friend for free.

I don't, but my boyfriend does. She seems to be helping him with his self hate issues.

Nah. I had one when I was in my later years of Highschool but she was painfully stupid, a nice person but stupid.

No, but maybe I should.

Hell na, I'm thinking of getting an online one though so I'll have the permission. I need for some surgeries I'm saving for

I've done physical therapy, does that count?

No, but i take meds for my depression.
