Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Congratulations! That's wonderful; it is a big step to gain the courage to seek out therapy. As a young person I was made to feel that there was something fundamentally wrong, creepy and embarrassing about asking for psychological help, and it took me a long time before I even considered it. I went once but it wasn't planned well or timed well (I waited until I was in a crisis state and on the verge of a nervous breakdown) so like you, I am working up the courage to try again. I want some specific help on getting over my deep well of anger so that I can move on. I have a good idea now about how to " shop " for the right kind of therapist for my needs, so when I can afford it I want to try again. -Annie > > So, I just did something big!!!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have found therapy to be such a rollercoaster. Some days I have great sessions and sometimes I wonder why I just wrote the check because nothing feels like it gets accomplished. I'm sticking it out with the therapist I've been seeing for the last 2 years, but at some point, I know I'm going to have to change. I almost wish I could see a person who treats BPD so that I can find someone who understands what I went through. Re: Therapy progress Congratulations!
