Oh I definitely need lots of medication too, I think I just have never been able to figure out what to talk about with therapists. It’s not very helpful when you show up to sessions like “I don’t even know what I should be wanting to talk about” and none of the therapists I’ve tried were able to help with or work around that.
Oh I historically struggle with that too. I’ve found that talking with my wife on my way to therapy and spending the day before thinking about what I’m struggling with has really helped. You might also find value in taking notes of things to address whenever you have a mental issue.
The big thing is I instinctively want to downplay all my issues and I struggle with answering things on the spot. The conversation on the way there makes me already in a talkative mood, and if I’ve had a day or two of thinking about it in advance I at least know something that’s on my mind.
Start by discussing specific events that bug you or where you did something you’re not happy with yourself about. I suffer from the same issue, and this was how my therapist started teasing out some of the issues I have.
May I ask why that is? Could it just be that therapy wasn’t sufficient and your situation requires medication in order to be properly remedied?
