    My experiences with mental healthcare have been laughably inept. You can get better therapy in the worst game of DnD you’ll ever play.

      My experience is always different than anyone else. Everyone else in my ward wound up loving it and saying how it was the most important thing and it’s a great place.

      For me, I never had a constant therapist and was swapped around with no one keeping notes. It was all group therapy and I hated repeating myself all the time. Everything felt like a cash grab. Most of the therapists and people there seemed to have to take on a lot of work. I was lucky in that my insurance was paying for it all but the bills were insanely high.

        My experience was similar.

        You go to therapy to be listened to, and instead you end repeating yourself 100 times because nobody is fucking listening. It was legitimately more frustrating than not going, because I was literally paying money to have someone listen to me and they still couldn’t fucking do it.
