Oh man, I could have written this. Well, at different times anyways, since it DOES get easier. At a certain point you won't feel like quite so much of a burden.

It IS her job to help you, yes. But she wouldn't be doing this job if she didn't love to help others.

Progress, not perfection. You ARE progressing, even if you don't see it. But we can't wake up one day and be magically happy - unfortunately therapy doesn't work like that.

But I do understand the feelings, and I hope you know (somewhere deep inside) that you're NOT a burden.
