Are you honest with your therapist?

Right now my diagnosis is generalized anxiety, but honestly I'm tired of depending on other people and being sick but not sick enough and dealing with a job that doesn't care about your life is sending me to some dark places. I feel like im just complaining and I don't really want to talk about it.
I'm tired of people saying it's not bad enough or waiting on other people who control my life.
So many simple things I could have fixed if they did they're own job well. I'm tired of everything revolving around money. I really want to disappear but at the same time I don't want to die or hurt myself. I'm already in pain.

There will always be problems with job situations. You need a job to pay your bills. Employers need you to run their business. But MANY employers do not care about your personal problems. If you're finding that your present job is too far off that mark for you, search for another job while still employed. You can find something else.

Your complaints are valid to your situation. But you have the power to change some facts of your life. Work elsewhere. But suck it up while searching. You have to put up with it. I know it's stressful and upsetting, but your job is not a good fit. Sometimes workplaces hire people who are substandard but get the minimum done.

They don't want to hear complaints about their workers or their underperformance. That reflects negatively on THEM. See? Discuss some of this with your therapist. How to survive in a less than optimal situation while seeking a better one.

Do good things to take care of yourself outside of work and to keep your spirits up. Good luck.

If it's helps you? It's okay.
I would never trust a Psychologist, I would pretend I had empathy, I would show lack of self-confidence, I would over value others and belittle myself. Just to give the therapist false imagination about my person. Maybe I would read a book about depressions to feed the psychologist with false symptoms.
But I would never allow a person to get in emotional void of my mind.

I had a stainless steel shoulder replacement. 4 months ago. When I went to my therapist, I was completely honest with them at all times.

There is no such thing as a therapist, only those who call themselves names are unqualified, and there is no such thing as an illness, the characterless will always be characterless, the important thing is the sense of conscience.

Yes. Always be honest.
