it sounds awful what that other therapist did.. and many of us can share equal horror stories.
therapy is something that you should only do if you really feel you should do it. So if that isn't what you feel you should do then you made the right decision. Don't feel it's for everyone either. We are all so different.
i was the same at one point.. didn't see any benefit to me. Then life changed and i couldn't think my way out of the mess i was in.. and friends could only watch it get worse. i was in a round room with no door and needed someone on the outside to help me find one.
i don't see a T to learn how to do daily stuff, or even to live with my BP.
i also do not think meds every day for life is the right thing for many people. For now it's for me.
and maybe you are one of the lucky people who have been trapped inside fixable probs.. the kind that don't need expert help.. who knows?
i figure if sticking your foot in lime jello works for you then do that. It's all about what works for you.. or me.. or whomever.
i am sorry for the bad experience you had... it must feel bad. If you want to be sure about the mental illness part, read read read. It can't hurt to educate yourself. As much as i agree with people being able to live med free, there is a risk for some.. it could hit hard someday. That is what happened when i went on a three year med vacation.
i hope you find whichever path is right for you.
