My experience with trying to find a therapist has been more mentally draining than my anxiety and depression. I decided that I don't want to be on medication, and I don't like that medication makes me feel ten times worse, even if it does take a while to work. I've been trying to find therapists, but they either don't take my insurance or they're not accepting new patients. I've always felt like I'm not wanted, and being given the runaround has deteriorated my mental health and self-esteem. It feels like I won't have anyone to help me through this. I feel myself sinking into a deeper hole, spiraling down a path of anxiety and depression. I have zero motivation. I try to tell my mom about it, but talking about my mental health only seems to annoy her. I try to tell my best friend about it, but she doesn't listen or seem to understand. It just feels like no one wants to be bothered with me and my mental health.

ReplyI'm so sorry for what you're going through. I'm not going to tell you I know how you feel because the truth is I don't. I know you said that you don't want to take medicine and it makes you feel worse, but maybe you should really give it a chance. Well, of course, if it makes you feel worse, then that medicine isn't the right one for you, and that's okay. I have been struggling with depression, ADHD, and anxiety. I have been on medicine for almost a year now, and it truly has helped me so much. Before, I had no motivation and I just felt empty. After going through a couple of different medications, I found the right ones for me, and I truly do feel better. Again, everyone is different, and if you don't think medicine is for you, that is completely okay. Maybe try and give it another shot. I'm sorry life is really shitty right now. Things will get better. I really hope you are able to find a therapist soon, and they can give you the support you need. - A
