I stumbled on this site doing a google search a few weeks ago, subject: How to leave therapy. I have been struggling with depression since I was about 12, I'm now 46. I was diagnosed officially at age 26. It runs in my family. Life was better when I could take meds for it, but for some unknown reasons all meds stopped working for me about 4 years ago. My body does not tolerate them and sometime reacts violently to anti-depressant medication. I found therapy to be a life saver, much more helpful than the meds ever were when they were working. But a combination of both is the best combination if possible. I have been with this therapist for 12 years, and have become very attached and have been able to resolve or help many issues, low self esteem, abandonment issues, among other things. I got my feelings hurt by my therapist a few months ago and don't know how to talk to her about it, so I figured I've done this long enough that maybe I can go it alone. Anyway, I found some useful things on here and so I joined to maybe participate. It's interesting how different yet alike a lot of our stories are. I don't think I'm ready for therapy to end, I'm single and don't date, and we have not even touched on that issue yet. It's nice to get to know some of you.
