Hi,
I'm really interested to know how you feel that therapy has helped. What insights has it given you.
I'd love for therapy to work for me and in fact I had it many years ago but I remain highly cynical about it.
I can't see how therapy can help anything but reactive depression or depression that is brought on by something obvious.
When I became depressed, I had a good job, a nice boyfriend, was looking to buy a flat, had just had a rise and yet I became suicidally depressed. I didn't realise how depressed and agitated I was until I tried going on holiday to see if that would help.
I got to Portugal, a lovely apartment with a panoramic view of the sea and yet I spent the whole week contemplating suicide and pacing. It was hell. I tried playing tennis on holiday thinking that the exercise would help but I couldn't enjoy it at all and felt absolutely awful.
When I'm at my lowest (and pretty much as I am now) it doesn't matter where I am who I'm with, what I'm doing etc etc, I still feel the same.
So I would be interested to know of any insights you can provide into how therapy is helpful.Denise
