atto,
My bias is that you are wise to question therapy and/or "meds"... Please consider that my discovery that there is a concert going on in our mind, such that there is a balance point sharing logic and feelings... If you are only sharing good-feelings and bad-feelings to your therapist, he may be strapped for any entre' to make changes in your operation...
Try asking help from your T to find a balance between logic and feeling in problem solving and conflict resolution... My suggestion to my clients is to start carefully attaching "options" and "caring" to all decisions... The purpose is that this forces consideration of a balance of logic and feelings... A person can't use logic for "caring" nor feel "options"...
Trust that most folks don't see a need for even "caring", let alone "options"... If we wait for the masses to progress to adulthood behavior, we will continue to perform in mediocrity... Does that sound like something to aspire to? I am talking about "new stuff" that has historically always been here and very practical... Five generations ago, we seem to have forgotten to focus on maturity...
Try it... Others are grateful and succeeding... May not be large numbers yet, but they are out there...
