Thomas,
Oh, my heart goes out to you. I hate being there, when it just feels like you're drowning in self-contempt. Medicine changed that for me. Zoloft and buspar have helped - particularly Buspar with my anxiety, which I think was a huge factor in my own self-dislike. It helped me be able to focus on recovery while in counseling. You mentioned that you feel as though you're getting nowhere in counseling. Give it time, but don't be scared to try a few different psychologists. I went through like five before stumbling into my angel of a psychologist who saved my life.
And keep coming back to this page. In a disease that overwhelms you in loneliness, the people here might make you feel less lonely. This is only my advice from my own experience, but I truly hope it helps. Please keep coming back.
Tricia
