Let's see - mentally ill: well, you don't seem psychotic, like hearing voice or seeing things, but this is not something one can tell just from a few posts. Majorly depressed - no doubt in my mind about it. Overly anxious - absolutely. I identify with doing virtually nothing all day. It's bad on one's self esteem. I have a dental appt on Mon, and I'm actually afraid I won't get up the gumption to get in the shower. This requires a lot of motivation for me. I prefer my dreams to real life. In my dreams, when I'm sleeping, I dream of being active like I used to before the depression got so bad. I dream of having real relationships with people. I got the impression that you are female, but I can't recall [no memory]. But in any case, you do have many girl friends here, and I certainly am one of them. I thought about you and your dreaded reassessment so often while my laptop was in the shop. DON'T joke around and be silly with your therapist if you don't feel like it. Remember, you are in the reassessment process! You don't need notes about a miraculous cure! You are not a drain on the therapist. That is his job. He can't afford to have strong feelings for you either way, and, My Dear, you are very, very likable, with your extreme honesty. It is a lovable asset. I don't have any interests, either, except . . . for PC, e.g. writing to you. There is no fairness in the world. There IS fairness in the universe. We are here for a purpose and need to stay here until we have learned enough [mostly through pain] to move on. This is not a statement of fact, just my well-considered belief. ~ billieJ

Making this list just makes me want to die. But I tried and I can’t think about any positives.
I am thinking of skipping therapy tomorrow. I feel like a drain on him and I don’t want him to stop liking me. So, if I go, I might put on a happy face (unconsciously) for him and joke around and be silly with him. But I want to be myself when I am with him. And be accepted for that. So what is the point of going?
Thanks for this!
