I tried therapy for a year. I was on 5 different kinds of meds for all that time. nothing worked. i am incurable. eventually my psychiatrist diagnosed me as a borderline personality... it started out as dysthymic but as the meds she gave me had no effect she changed the diagnosis... i do what jim carrey does & i dont think many people realise how deeply depressed i am... i am 30... single & have no prospects of a relationship... i might try therapy again but it's such a huge expense to pay for me to tell someone how i feel and draw my own conclusions from it...
