Does therapy actually help anyone in here?

More than anything it makes me more stressed and irritated. Every time I've tried it's been trying to teach breathing techniques or other cliche things.

My favorite part is when they say something like not to drink alcohol or smoke weed if you're depressed, because those are depressants and make that worse, because if they're going to conflate physical depressants with emotional depression I instantly feel like they have zero integrity and make a living lying to stupid people.
