Is therapy worthwhile? - Lemmy.world

Hello, Lately I have been overwhelmed with my schedule, finances and social life. I am always trying to improve my mental health. With all of this stress I am considering therapy, mainly for someone to talk, to process all my thoughts, and maybe help me develop ideas or come up with strategies to cope better. I have ADHD, Autism, and some other things if that helps anyone relate. I have three main questions: Has therapy helped you enough to be worth the time? Is it very difficult to find a therapist you mesh with? How do I find a therapist? From a doctor’s referral? Online service? Through insurance? (I live in the United States.) Any experience or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

My last therapist disappeared into the redwoods after doing a hit of acid laced with DMT. Seeing as he'd been growling like a tiger all night as part of some Hindu shaman thing he'd picked up on the streets of New Delhi, it was kind of a relief. All that was left behind was his kilt. Sometimes I wonder where he is and whether or not the Hell's Angels were really hunting him.

True story. Oregon can get wild in the backwoods.

That being said, you probably could do without my advice on finding therapists.

I have no idea if I should be laughing at this, so I suppose I will. I’m sorry for your loss.

Lmao - you're the first person I've ever told this story to who considered it a loss. I figure that there are some things you hold on to in this world, but sometimes you just have to let your therapist fly free...

...especially if the Hell's Angels are involved.

Haha! That story is one hell of a wild ride. The only reason I believe it is because you mentioned Oregon.
