How does therapy work?  I don’t understand how it’s helpful to talk to someone.  

I’ve tried it twice and a psychiatrist once,  and I know it’s probably my own fault.  But I wouldn’t know what to say so I would tell them what they wanted to hear, it made me seem normal.  I always walked out thinking “that was pointless”. 

I’ve heard people say therapy can be a good thing, and I’m sure I could benefit from it.  I just don’t understand it.  

I have major depression, and possibly BPD, and AVPD. The cocktail of medication that I’m on I feel like it’s not as effective as it was.  But my doctor won’t increase any of the doses with out me talking to a psychiatrist.
