I cannot find a therapist. I have worked hard to find one and a CANNOT do it. Please stop telling people to get therapists like it’s easy, it’s not.


Sorry you are having a hard time. I used a self help workbook program until a therapist was found. That and building in 15 to 20 minutes in my day to focus on me was a good start.


I recognize you are trying to be helpful but this doesn’t help.

I am looking for support, not advice. I really, really don’t want advice.


DP. I interpreted the last sentence of your OP (“I wish I had someone, anyone, who could help me”) as an opening for people to suggest how you could get help. But I understand just wanting to vent too.

The only thing that helps me is 300 mg of Wellbutrin through my doctor

Hope things look better for you very soon OP

Why can't you tell someone?


Because it feels like others aren’t going through anything like this. (But they have or they are!)

Using a workbook is great advice. Finding a therapist is hard, but you can help yourself!

My spouse doesn’t know how to support me, I have no friends close enough to share it with, my family is dysfunctional and can’t handle emotional support. I don’t feel like I can afford a therapist right now and in the past when I stretched financially to pay for one, she was not very helpful and didn’t seem to listen to me or understand what my issues were. I really can’t afford to spend money on a therapist who doesn’t help or, in that case, seems to make it worse.

I am really struggling with depression and feelings of worthlessness and failure right now.

I don’t feel like I have anyone I can lean on with this. The opposite— I feel I have to keep it together for others and hide what is really going on with me.

I just needed to tell someone. I wish I had someone, anyone, who could help me.
