Hey @Samm 👋😊
I've just read through your thread, and thank you sincerely for opening up to us. It sounds like you've got a lot on your mind, and it must be a heavy load to carry 😞
I'm sorry to hear you aren't finding your psychologist helpful. You mentioned you'd seen four psychiatrists, but I was wondering if this is your first psychologist?
It can be a bit of trial and error to find the right psychologist and type of therapy - which is so hard when you need support. I can see we've sent you quite a few articles to read, and I don't want to overload you, but I think these may be worth checking out when you feel up to it.
There are many types of therapy, and this article goes into a few of them. They all have different purposes and coping strategies, and sometimes it's about finding the right one to fit your needs.
It sounds like you are looking for coping strategies, which is a great thing to strive for in therapy. How do you feel about sharing that with your psychologist?
Also, I was wondering how you feel about losing interest in gaming? I can imagine it would be upsetting if it's been a way to cope in the past. I'm not sure if this is something you're into, but I've heard recently that more psychology services are doing "therapeutic dungeons and dragons". If that interests you, I'd be happy to do some research and send you some info.
I know you're feeling really low about yourself right now, but I want you to know that you are in no way, shape or form a burden to us. We're here because we genuinely care and want to help people feel less alone. You deserve to have a place to get things off your chest, so I'm truly happy you found us!
