I hate making these posts but I need to vent somewhere. Feel free to ignore this.
I've talked to my psych, my case manager, so many doctors. I've contacted help-lines, triage and even family. There's nothing they can do and there's nothing I can do about my illness. I'm tired of all the distractions, "we need to find the right therapy", etc. I bought what I need and I'm ready to go.

@qsin Hi qsin no one ignores posts just sometimes it is hard to know what to say when everyone is dealing with their own issues and problems. Firstly though let me assure you that nothing remains the same. Peoples lives change for the better and worse and then back again for the better. It is a bit of a rollercoaster ride at times but that is what makes it interesting and worth holding onto.
Don't give up hope. Stay strong and you will see. greenpea

Hi there @qsin, why would you think we'd ignore your post? You are a worthy person and your posts, as such, have worth also.
I hope you do make the New Year. As greenpea has rightfully pointed out, lives changes, people and circumstances change. Nothing remains the same forever, it called the rollercoaster of life. It has dips and dives, but has high points too, that's what makes it worthwhile.
It's great you are reaching out for support, please continue to do so as we'll be here with listening and understanding ears.

Their are lots of great therapies, but also it comes down to the therapist being able to connect with YOU, regardless of "the modality".
Thinking of you. @qsin
I also had trouble getting help as I was well spoken. Derrrrr!

Hi @qsin
I hope you're travelling a little better today and found the moderator's check in emails helpful.
While I know it seems like you've tried it all, as @Queenie said, nothing stays the same forever.
