Structure and guidance
I have no idea how to move forward. I keep ruminating and my depression is lasting very long. I want to throw away the idea of setting plans for the day. Anyone can relate? I have a therapist, had her with me since Decemeber 2020, but I feel NO guidance. I feel so stupid after my chats like she doesn't get my problem, and she focuses on the practicality of things while I'm continuously asking why? Why? Why?
Structure is NEEDED. All I feel is loose and untethered. What makes you motivated to keep a daily plan and have any care at all for the world? When NOTHING matters!
@Skyy0 It doesn't sound like your therapist is the right one for you, if she doesn't even get your problem.
Maybe when you described your therapist you answered your own question, and the way to move forward is to switch to a better one.

@Skyy0 I'm sorry that your therapist isn't making you feel understood, maybe finding a new one would be more beneficial. I struggle with following plans too, which is why I barely make them anymore. Perhaps you can try writing a list of tasks for each day and try to fulfill at least one everyday? Personally, doing so made me feel like I was going somewhere, albeit slowly. Here is the Eisenhower Matrix to help with listing tasks:

Good to know that its "normal" and still functional to go without plans. Lists...I will try harder again to write them. I'm in a better place since weaning off Quetiapine..the me of last month would say "whats the point. Its just too daunting. Let me rest instead." Right now I do see a little more joy in life, since I met new people and want to improve myself for them.
@Skyy0 Glad to hear that. Wish you all the best! Take it one day at a time with the list thing
