 can I laugh? | |

I've never been to a therapist, although I've been told that more than anyone else, I could benefit from going.
For me, I've always equated it with the mental illness that runs in my family and have felt like giving into it is a sign that I'm "one of them". I know I'm crazy, I don't need someone to point it out to me. At least that's how I used to feel. In the past few years since I've lost 4 people very close to me, I've been actually considering grief counseling. My opinions about therapy are constantly changing. | |

I like it when the therapist gives me an erotic massage on that couch of hers.
Always melts all the mental illness away. | |

My opinions about therapy are constantly changing. well, you know what they say...people who think they're crazy probably aren't - it's the ones who are convinced they're NOT crazy you gotta be careful of. i'm sure that's fairly oversimplified, but i think there's truth in it. i KNOW i have stuff going on that would be aided by therapy, but like i said earlier, i've just never found the right fit/vibe with a therapist. to echo what dan said (oh my god, i'm ECHOING imago?!?! i AM crazy!), i've gotten more out of spirituality than psychiatry. studying and ruminating on the tao has done a LOT for me, and i know it's made my mind slow down a lot over the years, especially in situations where i need to make a lot of stressful decisions. there are aspects of my life i don't yet know how to apply taoist thought to, and i don't know if that means i just have more development to do or if it means i need to fill that void with some kind of professional counselling...or both? i dunno. i feel like i function okay. i just know i could function better. | |

I could use some therapy. Does anybody wanna examine the inner workings of my brain? RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I've been in therapy for quite a while now and most of it has to do with my childhood and has been exposed here before so no need to do it again.  | |

i was in therapy but i stopped when i moved away. i need to go back because some of my behavior is regressing and i'm getting depressed again.
Sometimes i think that therapy will always be a part of my life. | |

Thats funny So you think it's funny Maybe your life is always sunny But the fact that I still remember it sucks. 
(see, I really suck at rhyming poetry)

Sometimes i think that therapy will always be a part of my life. I stopped when I lost my health insurance (due to quitting a job I couldn't handle while severely depressed). 
But assuming you have access, I don't see anything wrong with having therapy be a part of your regular healthcare routine.
Feel free to orgnote me if you ever wanna talk about it. . .I understand about the regression. . . oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |

I would not trust a cognitive or an ego-psychologist.

"here have some pills, you'll be able to get to work tomorrow" [Edited 2/6/07 12:30pm] I saw a behavioral psychologist, and I wouldn't see a kooky Freud disciple, but there is NOTHING WRONG with some pills to get you to work tomorrow. Life doesn't stop for you when you're depressed (or whatever), and trying to function and failing makes it worse. oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |
