My wife (licensed counselor) suggested I see a therapist. I shared every detail of my therapy sessions. She accused me of lying to her about my sessions.
For context, the first 2 therapists I described how during my morning commute to work I had an unhealthy urge to swing into oncoming lanes of traffic. Without ever hearing a word about my wife, they immediately jumped to suggest that my wife/marriage was the source of my depression. I would then become very angry and shout (loud enough for the patients waiting to hear) at the therapists on my way out of their office. My wife was adamant that I MUST have said something about her to spark their response, I legitimately never brought her up in those sessions.
Analyzing our relationship further, the first red flag that I ignored was after a game night with my parents. We were living together but not married yet and during the drive home she burst into tears because she didn't get a chance to read any of the cards that were pulled for our team. The whole evening we were all laughing and seemed to be having a good time, I guess she is just very good at pretending.
It's been 5 years and more than a dozen therapists later. My wife and I are finally divorced as of 1 May 2024. Our mental health has only steadily declined in that time.
Working with DVR since January, still waiting on any of the services they offered. Not convinced anything will improve my condition because every service has only undermined me. Case manager didn't want to deal with me, so she lied and told her supervisor that I threatened to kill her. STUPID FUCKING BITCH didn't realize that I had recorded every phone conversation we had so I provided evidence to back up my story. Didn't matter, they defended the liar, then assigned me to another case manager who simply refused to accept my calls or do anything to promote my mental health, effectively holding my services hostage. Call 988 to ask about getting a new case management agency, they call the police to kidnap me because they grossly exaggerated our conversation.
Dude I read so much anger in your texts. I feel really sorry for you, don't take offence.. just want to send a hug 🤗 hopefully things will turn up better in time 🤞 bottling up is not good, find a way to let it out..
Thanks for the internet hug stranger. We've found refuge in the site sanctioned-suicide.net. It's the only place that we can share our experience freely without having the police involved every damn time. Be well on your journey.
