    therapy has helped me a lot in the past when my main issues were my family, social stuff, school, even just some personal issues. But now that the biggest problem in my life is working, therapy feels increasingly useless, and I feel like I'm being blamed for not wanting to work

      I’d look into a new therapist if you feel like you’ve hit a wall (or maybe even wrapping treatment for now).

      Therapy isn’t supposed to go on forever, you can do it to build skills and then come back for a bit if/when you run into a problem you don’t know how to deal with.

      Most therapists are cool with this and even encourage it.

        yeah ive been thinking this way lately. I might wait until I get a little more settled in my new job and then cut it off

          You probs already know this, but definitely share how you’re thinking with your therapist. They can help figure out other areas you might want to work on and/or an “exit plan”. That’s totally normal and a part of the process.
