Hi everyone. I'm new here. Have been going to join BB for a while now but never got around to it until today.
Anyway to keep this first post short, I just wanted to ask how many of you have had not-so-good experiences with therapy such as CBT. I've been to several psychologists over the years and have never really made much progress. The psychs usually start getting annoyed with my avoidant behavior and decide they can't help me because I'm "not trying hard enough". In fact it happened again yesterday. A clinical psych I've been seeing for twelve months under a mental healthcare plan told me she doesn't see any use in making another appointment because we haven't got anywhere and just keep going round in circles.
It's frustrating because I saw an Asperger's specialist last year as there were thoughts I might be on the spectrum. She concluded although I do have some autistic "traits" it's not enough to make a diagnosis. She also believed CBT would not be much help but suggested schema therapy. But it's so hard to find someone trained in that close to here.
I really feel hopeless today. There doesn't seem to be anything that can help me with this horrible illness that I've struggled with all my life. Can anyone else relate to this?
