In my bouts of depression and anxiety attacks over the years, all I really got out of the expensive sessions were the doctor was qualified to prescribe me anti depressants. He would act as if he was interested when he would say "Sorry about your grandmothers passing" or "that is tough luck with you losing that job" but I could get that from friends and family for free. I am not hell bent against therapy, but it really did not work for me and I tried to appraoch it with an open mind. Maybe others would have better luck than I.
I went once in about 88-89, i was in there a grand total of maybe 15 mins when he pulled out a sample pack of Prozac and told me i need to get started on these....I threw them in the garbage on the way out and never went back....
Ofcourse that was better than my ex who went to 1 and on her 1st visit she left in an ambulance wearing a straight jacket....lol
Since then ive seen 3 different sports psychs...trying to get help with my poker mentality and although they were helpful i cant afford to visit 1 regularly ...and unlike Democrats if i cant afford it i dont get it....

I really don't believe in in them or counselors.
Can a stranger really tell you more than you already know about yourself, no matter how well they get to know you?
You also have to keep in mind that they are only giving you THEIR opinion.
Go to 5 different shrinks or counselors, and each one is likely to give you different advice.....

That would be correct, I don't give a shit about anything. You have to be on the right dosage and after years of trying different meds I have finally found one that works for me. Throw in a few beers and some weed and then you really don't give a shit about anything. I'll probably start backing the dose down and getting off them completely.
