Yeah, every time I talk with friends or family I feel better, and so I don't think I need it. But then of course I would eventually feel off again. I've finally realized that being able to do that more consistently might help me feel better more consistently.

Yeah, massive debt is not helping me at the moment. I'm sorry to hear that. It is unfortunate, especially because not being able to afford it is definitely not helping mental health either. I hope you find a solution out there.

Thanks for your honest perspective. I will definitely make sure to keep evaluating if it is really helping me. I am hopeful that if this ends up being the case I can acknowledge it and possibly find a therapist who is more helpful.

Thanks for clarifying! I'm glad I know now that it's something they will take into account, and I like that you figured out what to ask them specifically about their methodologies.

That's great to hear that many seem to be respectful of boundaries and preferences. I'm glad you found a good one!

Thanks! This helps me paint a better picture of searching for one. I will try to do my research. I definitely have more diagnoses I forgot to mention in this post. I've spent a long time working on all of them. At least the initial shock is over with and I've had time to work on all of them to an extent. I just need to take the next steps now.

Thanks for your help and your kind words. I will figure things out regardless, but I am very hopeful now that I might receive some help.

That's great to hear! I definitely think CBT is something I want to focus on so I have more tools in my toolbox.

Thanks for your input. It's good to hear both sides. I wish you all the best, and hope you find your way all the same.

Sweet, thanks! I'm a casual gamer, but that sounds like a great resource. I'll check it out.

Even just having reminders or something to ground me in the meantime will really help I think.

Haha! That story is one hell of a wild ride. The only reason I believe it is because you mentioned Oregon.

Thanks for your followup! That's really helpful!

I have no idea if I should be laughing at this, so I suppose I will. I'm sorry for your loss.

That sounds like it would be particularly helpful to have someone who understands the nuances to how a neurodivergent person might think.

Thanks for your input and your help! I hope your friend is doing well.

Is therapy worthwhile? (self.asklemmy)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by flyoverthis to c/asklemmy
 

Hello,

Lately I have been overwhelmed with my schedule, finances and social life. I am always trying to improve my mental health. With all of this stress I am considering therapy, mainly for someone to talk, to process all my thoughts, and maybe help me develop ideas or come up with strategies to cope better. I have ADHD, Autism, and some other things if that helps anyone relate.

I have three main questions:

Has therapy helped you enough to be worth the time?

Is it very difficult to find a therapist you mesh with?

How do I find a therapist? From a doctor's referral? Online service? Through insurance? (I live in the United States.)

Any experience or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: I just wanted to thank everyone for your help and support! I hope everyone is doing well and has seen positive changes. And I hope all these replies help other people besides myself. I'm feeling more positive and hopeful toward finding the right therapist. Your kindness is appreciated!

I used this recipe and followed it exactly: https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/bas-best-risotto

Toppings: Sautéed cherry tomatoes with garlic Olive oil Balsamic glaze Black pepper

 

I have read that downloading wefwef to your phone is a more stable user experience than on the browser version.

The main problem I am experiencing on the downloaded version is glitchy scrolling and slow loading of posts. On Firefox for Android everything seems fine. Has anyone else experienced this, or can someone explain why this may be?

Thanks!
