Where did psychoanalysis fail for you?

I really hope it does. I really hope things do change. I see a lot of trust fund babies climbing through the internet debating free market principles. My psychologist failed me when I outpaced him in salary. I became more trumpian and he became more egalitarian. Initially I was the socialist, but by the end of our sessions I became independently wealthy and dependent on the machine. I bring the criticism up about psychology and it's practice as a way to maintain the status quo because I am the top .0001 percent and I'm trying to warn others...yet at the same victims get mad at me thinking I'm some sort of conservative. Truth is I'm not for the current system, but I am among its main benefactors.

So sorry If I seem abrasive to the trolls but they are completely misunderstanding the point.

Stop trolling my thread. Get lost if you have nothing to contribute. The fact that you are reading my objections and still trolling isn't surprising to me at all given that many of your other posts are as ignorant in nature.

case and point (case in point? you choose), but i was neither trolling nor commenting on only you... read the thread...

tell me more about my ignorance, i am unaware of it...

Well, at least it's much more clear why he and his psychoanalyst did not get along.

Can't you all just not provoke one another? :dry:
This place seems so uninviting. There's some nice discussions sometimes, but people seem way more focused on being disagreeable than having positive dialogue.

Eh, it happens. :shrug: Sometimes people get along, sometimes not. If we all agreed with each other, the world would be quite a boring place to live in... that being said, I get what you mean with the unnecessary provocation (it irks me too).

I agree with a lot of what you described above. By the way, about the lack of freedom - this is indeed so. I often suffer from emotional instability due to the fact that I work not 8/24, but 1/24, and this is a half of a day. It's really terrible to be slaves of our time!

Been trying to get a therapist for over a year.

I have REALLY needed one in the past few months. Dialysis is a lot harder the second time around because it made so sick I wanted to die ( thank God my friend cared more than my Dr and put twenty minutes worth of research and found the solution) but it feels like it’s all I do.
As I put it “ You tell me to go to Dialysis to stay alive, but right now it feels like I’m staying alive just to go Dialysis” At one point I was so depressed I said I was going to quit Dialysis “ and I don’t care what happens”

Shortly after, I became homeless due to water damage in my home, and no, despite wha5 everyone says, the Landlord/HoA/ rendters insurance does not have to ‘ cover it all’. Our renters insurance gave us a very small amount for the first week but that was it. I had lost everything ything but my husband...who last week said he was leaving to stay with his parents for a few months.

I had officially lost everything. I was so depressed that I was...not quite suicidal enough, but like I couldn’t be bothered to do anything to keep myself alive.

I knew i needed help, so I went to every hospital/ program I could. ( as did a friend who is very gaming the system) Everyone of them asked us both the same three questions.

“ Are you a drug addict? Have you been to jail? Been diagnosed with a mental disorder? “ Since I am a very resilient and responsible individual, the the answer to the first two is ‘no’. The third, well, that’s of absurd isn’t? “ No, because I can’t get anyone to see me.”

So, I would say they have failed me the way they -and the healthcare industrial over all- has failed most of us; by acknowledging only about 5 or so illnesses or even circumstances and helping onl6 those who fall under those catagories while allowing everyone else to fall by the wayside.
