Hello, this is my first time posting here so forgive me if I make any mistakes. 😅
I (33F) was in therapy last week after losing my mom and crying pretty heavily when I asked if things would ever get better for me because I've had depression and anxiety all my life. She responded with something like some people are just born with certain dispositions and that she didn't know.
Now, I know she's not a mind reader there's no way she could know if things would actually get better for me. But I was expecting maybe a softer or a gentler message. Something that provided a little more hope.
I asked how I was supposed to keep going if things didn't get any better. I think she said something like you have to find your reason but I was crying pretty heavily at that point so I can't quite tell what she said. She's usually extra cheery and positive so I guess I just wasn't expecting such a blunt answer.
Maybe I'm just very sensitive as this has been a really difficult time. I still feel a bit awkward about it because after the conversation I've had a deeper level of depression. I'm not sure if I should bring it up in our next session or if I'm just being too sensitive?
