I can relate to a lot of what people are saying on this thread. I have never been *shut out* of therapy. But before I was diagnosed I knew that a lot of people didn't understand me. And I didn't understand myself. No one could figure out why I was so crazy. And people thought I did things for attention (which in a round about way--I did). But they thought I was FAKING it for attention--which wasn't the case. I have lost about 95% percent of my friends because of this illness cause people get tired of me. They can't deal with my *drama*. My mom can't handle me most of the time, she just yells at me. The one or 2 friends I do have now..I only talk to maybe once a week because I know they can't handle me and I don't want to put myself too much into their life cause I know I will eventually drive them away. But in reality all I want is for someoen to be there when I need them, I just happen to need someone ALL the time..which is not realistic for anyone to be able to do. It's just frustrating.

As for your therapist--I can't give an explanation why they discontinued with you. But I know I have a hard time trusting my therapist because I always feel like they think Im faking or exaggerating things. Or I end up just acting *normal* around them because I feel like I'm wasting their time and then they think I'm fine and I just eventually leave therapy because I'm frustrated.

I'm currently in my 3rd try of therapy...maybe this time I will make it longer then 6 months.

It's hard..if anyone needs an ear..I'm willing to listen please p.m. I'm lonely too and could use the company and conversation!
