See below: I"m sorry you're going through this. Look at things that worked in the past. Discuss your treatment impasse with the providers to help you figure out issues that might be causing your feelings. If you're having thoughts of self-harm that are overwhelming, go to the nearest emergency room or dial 911. National suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-talk. Good luck

Psychotherapy: Successful recovery will depend on quality psychotherapy. Consider talking to your gynecologist about possible hormonal imbalances that may be worsening your underlying depression. Severe depression is difficult to manage without professional help. Please find a therapist you can work with, and start your road to a happier, healthier life.

I agree: try to find another therapist. Or try working w' someone who is trained in CBT or DBT (form of Behavioral Therapy) not all therapies or therapists are equal and you need one that fits your personality and unique needs. Feel free to ask additional questions. Life can be worth living again.
