I might be going back to therapy

I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow again, after I told her last week that I've lost faith in the system and wants to quit my meds..

She wants me to come in so we can talk and send a new request for me to get back in therapy.
I know that's what I should do, but I'm also really tired of talking to a bunch of people that eventually gives up regardless. I've had 3 therapists tell me "your trauma is very complex so i'm not sure how to help you, but let's try". Yeah, no shit 🥹 I was told that I couldn't get a specific treatment because of my adhd, and another treatment I couldn't get because of my trauma. Then I'm told to contact local health care clinics that I can talk to, but they're not willing to talk to me, because of my cptsd and eating disorder, so they tell me I need professional help, because they only help with less serious problems. Then I was asked to contact this center for eating disorders, but they haven't replied, and I honestly don't even want to go there. So.. If I don't get help now, I'm done asking. I can do it on my own.

But this is the reason I miss the time I worked at the club, because I was drinking, partying, I had people around me constantly, I didn't have time to think about anything. I miss not thinking lol. But then again at that time I was in and out of the hospital and ER, but I ignored it right after I felt okei, and then just kept going until my next visit^^

I just want to heal, feel better, stop self-destructing, stop self-sabotaging, stop the night terrors, flash backs and dissociations, stop my battle with food, body and everything. I want to enjoy life. And I want to stop taking my meds.

Btw I tried therapy for 11 years and it didn't work for me, either.
@SinlessOnslaught It's a tough thing to judge. Therapy may have improved your situation without fully "fixing" you. I've had a few relatives who felt they were greatly helped by therapy; but I can accept that not everyone is.
@ElwoodBlues I suppose it did help open my mind to new ways of thinking. But that was in the first half of those 11, possibly even less, and then progress just seemed to stop. Then last year I was dropped as a client by a major provider for being tired and forgetful... after they prescribed me a medication that made me tired and forgetful. 🤷‍♂
@SinlessOnslaught Sorry to hear that stopped being helpful after a few years.
@ElwoodBlues Have you been?
@SinlessOnslaught No. My brother did, found it helpful based our our upbringing, and recommended I go, but so far I haven't.
@ElwoodBlues Based on your upbringing?
@SinlessOnslaught Yeah, bit of family trauma, nothing major, but I'm not going to go into details. Anyway he had poor results in choosing a spouse while I lucked out and/or was smarter about it so we're in different situations now.
@ElwoodBlues I'm glad you found the one for you.
