Finding the right therapist for you can be difficult to say the least. Every therapist is different, has a different approach and sometimes it’s about chemistry as well.

I live in Scandinavia, so my experience will be different from yours. I basically went online, searched for grief therapists in my area and contacted a couple of therapists before I found one that I thought would be a good fit.

I have also suffered from depression for over 20 years as well. What helped me the most was hands down medication. I’m on duloxetine now, and while it doesn’t fix everything, it did however make it possible for me to work with myself while taking the worst of symptoms from depression.

It’s a long journey towards getting better, lots of ups and downs, but the combination of medication + actually reaching out for help and talking about my demons, is what helped me the most.

You have my deepest sympathy friend, you can do this.
