Is therapy worthwhile?
Is therapy worthwhile?
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!
Edit: I just wanted to thank everyone for your help and support! I hope everyone is doing well and has seen positive changes. And I hope all these replies help other people besides myself. I'm feeling more positive and hopeful toward finding the right therapist. Your kindness is appreciated!

Sounds like it is worth exploring, at the very least. When I found the right therapist it was like scratching an itch I didn't knowI had.
Good luck to you, friend-o.
Yeah, every time I talk with friends or family I feel better, and so I don't think I need it. But then of course I would eventually feel off again. I've finally realized that being able to do that more consistently might help me feel better more consistently.
