Hey, thanks for your answer. The problem is I believe that I know in advance what any therapist would tell me. I believe I know how to fix myself and my situation. The problem is: it's hard to do it. Sounds stupid, but that's how it is. And no, I don't feel special, by any means. I hope you'll get your piece of happiness.
- stronglikedan 9y agoI knew in advance what I would be told, and I knew how to fix myself but found a hard time starting. It doesn't sound stupid, at all. When you talk to a therapist, they'll tell you what you already know, and maybe tell you some new things to try, and definitely tell you some things you don't want to hear. The weird thing that I didn't expect was that it works for the one reason I didn't consider. I was fine with disappointing myself (even used to it), but I didn't want to disappoint someone else. I didn't want to go back and tell them that I didn't try, so I tried. I tried a little more each week, and eventually got to the point where there was nothing left to try, and nothing left to discuss. Now I just let the meds slowly rewire my chemical imbalances without the need for talk therapy.
