Don't know where to post, but it's not helping.
 
I went to the doctor for the first time ever about my cutting and depressed feelings. Well a theripist actually, I'm not really sure if they count as doctors or not. But anyways, I went to see a professional and talked. But it didn't help at all. It's not like anything is wrong with my life that I need to talk about. I'm just never happy. So I just kinda told her about my life. But nothing felt better. I still felt the same. I still cried myself to sleep. I know these things are supposed to take time, but how will I ever know if this is going to help or if I should ask to see an actual doctor? I'm doing my best to keep an open mind but I just don't think talking is going to help any. I talk to friends and even a teacher, so it's not like I'm alone. I just don't know what is ever going to help. It's been such a long time since I was ever happy. I want to be happy again so badly, but no matter how hard I try I can't escape the crying and helplessness and anger. And trying so hard is wearing me down and making things worse. I finally got help, so why are things only getting worse? I'm trying so hard, but nothing is getting any better.

I'm glad you're getting help. As you have said, therapy does take a while, so I'd stick with it for a few more sessions but if you really feel you're not getting anywhere, it might be worth going to your doctor and asking if there are any other types of therapy available. Not all therapies work for everyone :) Good luck xx

Maybe keep going with the therapy for a few more sessions and see how it goes and if you want see a Doctor as well.
It's good you are keeping an open mind
