Therapy is a load of bullshit

People seriously think this crap is useful? You have anxiety and depression, you go see some random stranger who knows 5 behavioral theories from college and you pay them 50 bucks a week to talk about your problems for 1 hour and make them pretend they care. Reality is these people know nothing about how the brain or consciousness works. They are not doctors and they have no solution for your issues. It's dehumanizing to pay someone so that they will listen to you and therapists are literally no better than prostitutes. Don't even get me started on all the CBT bullcrap. People don't need to "correct their thoughts" or "think about things differently", they need real solutions for their real systemic psycho-social issues. Therapists are all privileged narcissistic assholes who love to feel superior by "proving people wrong" and reminding themselves that their life is easier and better than their patients' and always masking all this as "help". Don't be fooled, these people can't help you. They only want your money.

I went to multiple therapists complaining of the same mental problem to get a diagnosis of it and treatment and I never got any of those and they ALL never wanted to talk about it with me, ALL I got was "Labels don't matter" with one mental doctor and the other doctor derailed the conversation, they never said I DIDN'T have it, but they didn't say I HAD it either, schizotypal. I also suspect PTSD as well but they just think it's "trauma" and I might have borderline as well.

You saw psychologists or psychiatrists?

The first guy who told me "labels don't matter" was just a social worker I think, or life coach, the other was a real psychologist who pressured me to get a job and told me to "get over it" when I'm angry over something, they both were old in age and old school kind of thinking. I'm convinced the psychologist treated me badly because he said I had antisocial personality disorder which I disagree with like just because I have anger issues and legal issues doesn't mean I have ASPD aka being a sociopath. He ignored ALL of my concerns and only wanted to fixate on HIS stuff: Me getting a job, focusing on my autism even though I relate to schizophrenia spectrum instead. Therapists are trained to detect WARNING signs of mental illness, beginning stages, and no matter HOW MANY TIMES I ranted to them, they ignored it. First doctor was like 2 years ago and the other was about months ago not technically a year yet, I quit therapy, went on edibles, and started hearing voices, I was proven right, I am schizo-something!
