This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

TBH I've been to psychologists. I suppose the medication worked somewhat, but the talk therapy part? Meh. Though TBF I'm not the kind of depressed where you basically function and even have a social life but just aren't happy (like the original OP), my life legitimately sucks in a lot of ways that aren't easy to change.

For me, cognitive behavioral therapy really helped a lot with my anxiety, but I needed to find a certified psychotherapist for that (I live in EU). I talked a lot with a psychologist before, but that was only midly helpful. CBT brought a lot of structure to the whole thing, and I quickly improved.

I was very sceptical, but now I’m impressed. It’s not like I gaslight myself and pretend my life is perfect, but I ended up seeing my difficulties in a more balanced view.
