As someone who struggles so much in going to therapy, all I want to say is please do go - I constantly feel weird and crazy, struggle to go shopping, to be around people, however still manage to work although it is really hard to keep up the pretence of being "normal" (whatever that means).

I have sat without saying much in therapy for 15 months now and I am only just beginning to realise that my T can't fix me, it is something that I have to do for myself. However my T has a really important role within this.

I began by just telling my T, that I didn't know who I was, how I was feeling or where I was going - that was enough to get us started. Since then we have just worked on creating an environment where I can start to open up more and explore those weird and crazy things.

People said to me just tell your T what you posted on here - i.e. hate the question “What brings you to therapy?”. It’s like “What is wrong with you and how can I fix you?” It makes me feel like I am weird and crazy.

I really hope you are able to find a way to go on Monday.
