Well, now, you need someone to talk to, but dont want to admit that to your therapist? Therapy is such a strange thing. Like finding a gyn or a dentist. It has to be a good match. One of the things I have learned is that if your therapist (his/herself) has not worked on the problems you have, they cannot help you as well as if they had.My therapist is 66, has seen everything, and has been in therapy himself, off and on, for 30 years. No, he is not a nut; he just believes in what he does. If you are on meds, you really must not leave therapy, and your gp does not sound as though he is up on the latest. I found, in that regard, I had to do my own reaserch and ASK for certain meds to try. After 40+ years of severe depression, I am now taking Wellbutrin, Prozac, and Provigil. I feel better than I have ever felt..I think. But the therapy has given me tools to use in dealing with the times the meds don't work. Good luck.
