>I don't believe your response sounded trite, you are so right, the therapist will not leave you or give up on you. I remember asking mine once, do you want the truth and she looked at me like I had 3 heads, in a funny sort of way, they can not help you fully until they hear from you what is going on. And as for the medication, I do hope if you aren't on anything now, you check into something. I'm not going to touch the issues of being where you shouldn't belong looking for danger only because I am not a licensed therapist or pysch doctor, I do however wish you wouldn't go there. But until you reveal this to your doctor, she will not know the right treatment for you. Put your trust in her, that is what she is there for!!!
Best of luck to you,
