I went to one counselor, then walked out because I didn't like the way she was talking to me, telling me I was going to fail at what I was trying to do, being really negative. Plus she was always calling me off hours. It was weird.
So I went to this other one, and she usually comes out late. So late that the session is like half an hour. So I barely get to talk about what I want to. She tells me to come on time if I want to talk to her, then I come on time, but she starts about fifteen minutes after the time, then quits ten minutes prior to the end. So it's like nothing.
When we are talking, she keeps telling me to take this medicine. But I've taken it before and it doesn't work. At the hospital we determined that I am not supposed to take antidepressants because they cause problems. She now insists that's what I should do, and not take lithium for the antidepressants. She can't accept the fact that the lithium is prescribed for the antidepressants; she assumes that I have to be bipolar for this to happen, and won't accept the discrepancy.
Instead of talking to me about my problems, she insists that I take antidepressants. It's like going in circles. I get the feeling that a lot of these counselors are not interested in talking to you about your real problems; they just give you medicine so that you will shut up. They are bored.
I don't talk to my family at all. If I talk to my mom, I can't say anything. If I say anything, she just says, 'only talk about good or positive things.' After I came back from the hospital, the guy told her that I need someone to talk to, and she cuts me off and interrupts me, so that I'll just tell her what she wants to hear.
I don't care anymore.
All I wanted was a boyfriend and a family, but I don't think I'll ever get one. I met someone I like, but he just messages me and doesn't ask me out. By almost forty, if it didn't happen, it prob never will. No one wants to talk to me unless it's what they want to hear or just take drugs that cause problems.
So I just never say anything. I just never talk or call anyone. In a way I kind like it that way. They aren't interested anyway.
