So I have been struggling with depression during distinct episodes my last two high school years. I am almost done with med school now but depression came back summer 21, turned into mania spring 22 and is now a depression again. So I am diagnosed with bipolar I now and currently on a psych ward at an university hospital in Germany. And the psychotherapy mainly consists of them telling me to do the activities I knew I had to do but didn't/couldn't/didn't want to do when depression started again. Why even bother telling me I am sick if the consequence is just doing what I knew I had to do anyways? It just feels like: we'll we really have no clue what caused it and won't even bother finding out, just get going again with your old routines and you'll feel better 🤞🏼
