Talk to me about therapy

Long time feeling-shit guy here. I have tried therapy after all of the recommendations and calls to action point to going to a stranger and talking it out. Been to 5 or 6 different people of different titles (counsellor, psychologist, etc), different types of people (younger with more recent training, older with more experience, men and women, in person and telehealth), and tried to approach it differently to achieve a different outcome. Nothing. It seems like a waste of time and money for me. I've never had any positive outcome from it. I think it actually makes me feel worse because talking about something then leaving only to have nothing change or be able to change is disheartening. Sure, the change has to be in me, but there has never been a discussion or series of discussions that has lead to me feeling like I've been shown a new pathway that I couldn't see myself. Maybe my concerns are too much? Maybe it isn't a concrete issue like a shit job, problems in a relationship, or something? I was told by one of them that they had nothing to offer me that could help. I'm getting to the point where 20+ years of putting on the mask everyday is not going to work and that I want to exit the U shaped happiness curve in good shape. Any good news stories?
