That sounds incredibly rough. But as a simple counterpoint to this, I'm getting a lot out of therapy, as are most of my friends who are in therapy. It's not doing what I thought it would - it hasn't fixed my depression overnight, or cured my irritability - but it's providing a different framework to think about the world and relate to people, and I like who I am an awful lot more than I like the person I was. It's expensive for me, at 60 bucks a session on a not-particularly-high wage, and I regularly revisit the idea of stopping, but I think I'm still getting something useful and insightful out of most appointments, so I'm keeping on going.
