It definitely didn't help that I have bad history with therapists as a child.
Discussion
I went to one after a suicide attempt many years ago. Therapist+psychiatrist type of place.
I walked in with life issues and untreated bipolar disorder.
I walked out on:
Kolonapin 2mg
Seroquel 400mg
Citalopram 30mg
The therapist was honestly nice. It was hard to attend therapy while sleeping 20 hours a day and zombie’d the remaining 4 on medication contraindicated for bipolars.
I’ve refused to go since. I get you. I would want one that preferred non-medication treatment.
I specifically tried to seek out somebody who did not have a medical pad and wouldent try to push medications on me. I could probably get a shitload of Anti-anxiety meds, if I wanted to, but I was trying to fix the root of the problem and not just numb the side effects. If that Phrasing makes sense.
Genuinely glad you're still with us. 🫂
