how to get mental health support in this country?

That's the thing though, I've done this every time and it's not helpful. I've been in therapy for years. I've seen about 6 different therapists over the last decade. It's not that I haven't given it a good try, it just doesn't help at all in any way. I've only gotten worse. I only stopped going a couple of months ago after about a decade of therapy because I can't really afford it right now (I had to quit my job because of this) and I don't feel like it has actually helped at all. And this just feels like another example of people not listening. I'm here saying "this doesn't help, I've tried it for DECADES" and I'm just being told to keep trying. Oh yeah, it'll work eventually, keep at it. Honestly, at this stage, I would prefer to just kill myself than to keep trying to talk to therapists.
