Yes, it is definetely worse during stressful times, but until I started therapy, it was always there and always something I dealt with, whether I was stressed or not, although being stressed made it worse. And yes, I actually do feel as though I have made enough progress that maybe in a month or two I would be able to try and deal with this on my own. But the thing is is that I just feel so safe and comfortable around her and love talking to her, and I like that she genuinely cares about me. Like sometimes she will get upset at my parents, to the point where I feel that I have to defend them. But it's nice to have someone care like that.
And yeah, of course I feel that I have otehr things to work on, but I really feel that she primarily deals with EDs. One time I told her something about my dad that I don't think she was expecting, it was right at the end of session,and then I got so upset about it after session I went and made myself throw up. Then I sent her an email telling her what I had done, and next session she apologized for what had happened and then we didn't talk about it. So sometimes I do feel like her thing that she deals with is just EDs, and like maybe she wouldn't be sure exactly how to deal with other things. But I just have a really good connection with her. Also, I am a lot younger than she is living in a big city that I moved to a year ago. I have really good friends, but I love that I have someone older than me that I can talk to and that I trust and that cares about me.
And Improving brings up a good point, that my therapy is CBT, so I feel that it does have an ending point, moreso than other types of approaches, but that seems SO unfair to me.
