Looking for help

Looking for help

I feel so sad that I wish more than anything to be happier. But the harder I try the worse I feel. The suggestions I've received don't seem to work. And as far I can determine there is no-one willing and able to cure my condition. One suggestion I received was to visit a psychologist, but that makes me feel more sad because their suggestions haven't worked and they are so expensive. Another suggestion I received was to participate in activities that I enjoy. But it seems even nature is against me. I want to make friends but haven't in more than ten years of trying. Why is it so hard to make friends? And what is the purpose of living in such a strange society that rejects individual's talents and gives them no-one with whom to connect? I am sick of crying because it hurts me physically and emotionally.

Does anyone know of help that can be provided to those disconnected from society? As far as I know, the prevailing treatment of diagnosed mental health disorders is cognitive behavioural therapy. The therapy attempts to help people gain confidence in their own existence, irrespective of how disconnected from society they become as a result. I think this is the opposite of what I would like to achieve. The more I study the therapy, the sadder I become.

Is there a way I can seek justice for those who have mistreated me? Why is derogatory conduct promoted by society and why does my psychologist believe I will receive greater satisfaction by doing exactly as I am asked regardless of how much saddness, crying, and harm it causes me?

I find the natural world to be far more friendly than anyone else in the world. It will at least allow me to go to my local park at night and cry. This makes me feel better because it is something I can achieve when I am so different to all others in society.
