Unsure if therapy would be beneficial for me, any advice/suggestions?

💭Seeking Support & Advice

Late 20s.

I have tried different theraperies and feel like I’m at a stand still with them at the moment. It genuinely feels like therapy will not help me because I have no desire to “do” anything. I mentally can’t. I have a block and I am unsure how to deal with that or what therapy would help me.

I was told at an assessment that I may be using therapy as a coping mechanism and that really did a number on me truthfully. Therapy was the only thing that was allowing me to actually interact with professionals and work on my mental health, if I didn’t have at least one mental health thing going on I knew I would break down and that’s what happened. I shut myself in my house and now I’m just here.

I’ve tried CBT, normal talking therapy & compassion therapy.

Currently I have no desire to do anything at all. No want to clean up my life and make it better for myself. No want to have responsibilities or deal with anything. I can’t even keep my living space clean. I am having a hard time seeing what therapy would be beneficial or even if therapy is the right call for this? The lack of desire to live or do anything for myself, hygiene, cleaning my living space, just looking after myself makes me believe that therapy won’t be beneficial due to not wanting having the “umph” to at least do one of these things?

I am stuck and I do not know where to go next or what to do. I truly want to clean up my life and start living for me but I have no ounce of drive. My body and mind simply can not cope or handle with it and thus it doesn’t.

If anyone has experienced this and come out of it somehow, please advise.

Or If anyone knows of any therapy that has helped them become active in life again please let me know what type of therapy you tried?
