Intentions

[ExpectoPatronum]

This will probably be a rambling post and I apologize.

I am wondering if there’s any point in trying therapy if I honestly don’t think I have the drive or strength or intentions to get better. I think it would be wrong of me to waste a therapist’s time if my heart and head aren’t in the right place when they could be helping someone else who perhaps has more “try” in them. 

I guess I’m asking that if I don’t currently have the will to get better or change, should I maybe wait a bit until I somehow have better intentions? I feel so hopeless right now that I don’t think I can make any effortfull change, and I don’t want someone to waste their efforts when there are certainly others more deserving. Does this make sense?

Maybe you should expend your efforts on finding the drive to change. Therapy isn't going to work if you have no intention of changing your ways. I think it's a problem many face but don't talk about.

I think you should definitely go into therapy. This is exactly what they are meant to be helping you with. I think a lot of time therapy is treated like some type of workshop where you learn CBT skills and, sure, it is that, but really it's meant to help you find your way when you're at your lowest point.
