honestly job interviews are a lot easier than therapy sessions. it's much more obvious what interviewers want to hear and know about.
with therapists you have to express your problems while avoiding the therapist's superstitions to backfire at you in order to get any help ig.
for instance, while at the mental hospital when i was a kid i started reading books on programming, and prior to that i spend most of my time playing in the woods or reading books. so when asked about hobbies I'd mention these 3 things. the guy doctor assigned to me hated computers to the point he wouldn't believe how i could have interest outside of them, even though i didn't even *have* a computer at this point. just books on them which i read at the hospital.
underlining that i don't actually liked the forest that much because i didn't want to go back to my parent's home.
it's kinda fucked up how, if you have a cough you go to the pharmacy and tell them what you need and they'd give you that and maybe recommend something else they think would be a bitter fit.
but when it comes to mental health you not only have to manage being mentally ill but also fight against those people in hopes to get something useful out of those sessions or access to medications etc.
which ig is just a reflection about how people view physical illness as something that happens to you, and the treatment solves that, no hard feelings, while a mental illness is seen as something wrong with you as a person and treatment isn't meant to improve your situation but make you less of a liability to society (whether that's actually the case or not).
