I didn’t like her at all. I’m going to have to keep looking. She was very condescending

My therapist was condescending at first and then I continued seeing her, she toned down, now I can’t remember how she was condescending. Something about her and I didn’t click. Then we grew on each other

That sucks, I’m sorry. 
I hope you can find a good therapist who you click well with. It took me long time to find a good therapist. I finally found a nice one, I just can’t afford to see her right now.

Yeah. I pay $25 per session with my insurance so my plan is to see someone once per month.

Thanks @Leaf. A problem I’m running into is people are refusing to treat me because they say they don’t treat thought disorders. I guess I have to stick with county mental health

Schizophrenia is a thought disorder? I thought dementia was a thought disorder, and schizophrenia was a psychotic disorder???

they don’t want to work for a living or what? Didn’t they get into this type of work to help people? I’m so sorry you’re in this position. I hope county has someone for you.

The lady I saw today was one of two female choices I have. The other lady, I’m told, is very hard on people. I was told to avoid her.

Well, I guess you can try the lady that’s has the bad reputation. Maybe you will get along with her even though others don’t. What a frustrating situation you are in.

I don’t have a thought disorder and I have sz, my therapist was always trying to manipulate my thoughts until recently she just let me have peace in my head. I feel like she was doing it on purpose because I was non compliant and wanted me to go psychotic.
With your new therapist I would write out something that introduces you so she doesn’t make any assumptions. County places, they don’t know who they are dealing with. And I was treated poorly at first, I felt like I was being sucked up and my whole personality would change. I couldn’t follow her and it didn’t feel natural that’s why I say she was condescending too, it’s like she hated me. Now she changed.

Unfortunately you really have to shop around for good mental health professionals. Some are good some are bad.

You’re a smart girl with a great read on people! I’m sorry it wasn’t the right fit. When can you see the other female?
Do you only like in-person therapy? I know some places Skype.
