Yeah, that's a really good point... I know that I'm the one who's pushing everything, since my T always tells me that we can tackle anything, anyway I want. I don't know if there's a limit on the number of sessions that I get, though technically CBT isn't supposed to last more than 30 sessions. Do you know if insurance companies limit session time based on what you're diagnosed with?

I've been feeling better about things for a few days now, partly due to the homework exercises that we've been doing. It helps to not have to try (unsuccessfully) to hold myself together in front of someone else while I do the thought tracing exercises.

I've also become more and more convinced that my insane hormones are to blame for most of my severe anxiety. Even with SSRIs or benzodiazepines my anxiety just feels dampened -- but then if I'm having a good week hormone-wise, I'm really resilient and can handle my anxiety. Has anybody else noticed this correlation?
