I had a difficult talk with my shrink this morning. He told me that he had, "no idea what to do for me" saying that since I've tried in patient, out patient, and psychiatric routes but still haven't found any success. It was super disappointing and downplaying and now I'm just in a funk about it. I don't know how to feel right now

I’ve had to try a few different psychiatrists/therapists, and it took my a long while to find the one who was truly helpful. I don’t have any patience for a shrink who is not helpful.

I don’t know what you have but I know my friend a few years ago, after being in and out of inpatient for years got put into a residential inpatient facility which was helpful for him. Just throwing it out there.

Have you tried other forms of therapy? Such as art, yoga, etc. Like if it's a matter of going to a therapist for depression and anxiety, some activity that you can achieve a state of flow with and then have the thought prompt about your trauma or issue. Idk. I've had various "professionals" say they don't know how to help. So I read these questions and have a burst of energy and things to say. I type out a sentence and start spiraling as I lose my thoughts and energy and even my vocabulary shrinks.
I guess you have to ask yourself why do you seek these professionals? what are you seeking to change in yourself?

I had a therapist tell me the same thing, asking kinda like, "well which direction do you want to take this" some of us are just "multifaceted" :)
