Thanks everyone for the replies and for all the support!

@tractionbeam0610 - I think I have made progress on some of the real issues. I've talked to my therapist about them but therapy itself is becoming a (major)separate issue and I don't wanna talk to her about it becoz its just embarassing!

@rainbow8 - therapy addict? that is such a scary term! bcoz with the type of personality i have, i'm probably in danger of becoming one too. i haven't talked about it with her. I do have goals and perhaps you're right maybe it's because of other issues, i hadn't thought about that!

@3velniai - thanks. one sentence out of your post ("if you could just forget your issues and move on, you would've done it long ago") really made sense to me. That is very true and something I need to keep in mind for a lot of things!

@Sannah - thank you. your post has been very reassuring!
