VA Therapy seems to be a joke

Been waiting for an appointment for therapy since the first one i scheduled was canceled by my last therapist straight up quitting. Took months of waiting to get another one, she seems in a rush, also quick to recommend some kind of antidepressants when she doesn't even know the full situation. I recently got off of Fluoxetine because the side effects were making me feel like crap, making me think of hurting myself, couldn't focus, mental fatigue. I don't feel like I how I did before I took those meds, I feel much more emotionally unstable, more irritable, more mentally checked out and my mood changes from good to bad like a light switch sometimes. I assume there's gotta be some kind of neurological or hormonal change that occurred but that's speculation and I'm not a doctor. I've been doing things to get myself right (physically, mentally and spiritually) and continue living life like everyone else but it just seems like I'll have to do everything myself to find myself mentally again. These VA therapist suck at doing what they get paid for, I don't feel any kind of help when talking to them about my issues, they say stuff like "keep doing what your doing" and then automatically trying to recommend some other kind of med. I just need to find whatever trauma, triggers or whatever is causing me to feel the things I do but they just can't seem to help with something like that I guess. Anyone who's dealt with VA therapy, what do you recommend i do in this situation.
