    “Talk Therapy” is a waste of time

    I tried Lexapro and Welbutrin now… eh idk all I felt was the placebo effect of “OMG Is this gonna save me?”

    But then the novelty dies off and idk if its even doing anything and it takes too long and I just drift off it and not really stick to schedule…

      Unfortunately that is often how drugs for the brain work, or don’t in your case. There is often a lot of trial and error to find something that works for you. They also take a good couple weeks to even start working properly which doesn’t help.

      Addressing underlying problems is the best cure for problems. You need to push yourself to explore the world more, maybe visit somewhere new, or take on new life projects like a job, volunteering or study.

      I hate talk therapy so much. It’s awkward and makes me stressed as hell. I always feel much worse afterwards.

      why do you say talk is a waste of time, if communication were a waste…why bother even making this post at all?
