[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That particular therapist should not have phrased it like that. It was unprofessional. However, if this has happened with multiple therapists, then you must be contributing to the problem, OP. [b]You might be overly aggressive in your choice of words or tone, and have displaced anger about your trailing spouse life that you put squarely on your current location.[/b]

Have you tried medication for your depression? Sometimes it takes medication to make your brain more amenable to therapy and improvement. I've seen this in my son's ADHD. He couldn't learn unless he was medicated. I have a lot of anxiety, and so far medication has not worked for me, but I suspect my therapy sessions would work far better if I could find the right meds!

I also suggest finding an online therapist, not based where you are. You won't know where they're from unless they tell you. My psychiatrist lives in California, and is licensed there and in the state I live in. I see her on Zoom. I see my therapist on Zoom as well. No idea where he lives.

Well, yes to the bolded. I am angry. Each year that passes, I become more filled with hate, because I see my life drifting away. Even small things I used to take for granted, like stopping by a coffee shop after grocery shopping, aren't options anymore.

I hate tried SSRIs. Gained 100 lbs. No thanks.

I'm sorry this is happening to you, OP. But in the end, YOU are the only person who can fix yourself. No one else can. So why drive away the therapists, if you cannot tolerate medication and they're your last chance? Pick someone online who lives far away and tell that person up front you have an anger management problem stemming from your depression. That way they can calibrate their response. And when they say things you find triggering, keep going with them, don't leave for the next person. Try not to take it out on them. Persevere. Otherwise you're going to end up doing the drive by shooting.
