That's not good, but that's how I cope for now. It's SOOOO HARD finding good mental health physicians that truly want to get you well.

I totally get you. I used to do the same thing habitually and I still do it to some extent. I often run hypothetical "battle" scenarios in my mind in which I imagine a feared person attacking me and what I'd say in response. I have one of these battle strategies ready to go with certain people even though I know it's probably never going to happen!
