I feel safe-- just reinforcers my inner belief that the world we live in is an unsafe place
but, that doesn't mean I think therapy CAUSED anything in life to be that way.
its just my reminder.

hope that makes sense? lol cus it barely makes sense to me and I wrote it..

but, I'd have to agree that a portion of the sadness wouldn't be there if I felt different about myself and who I am.... but, just some of it... not all of it..
It sounds like therapy makes you aware of what could be possible if you experienced more safe relationships irl. So far you're experiencing them in therapy, but eventually you could transfer it into real life. Just an idea.

Please try to hold off making a decision until you are no longer depressed but find yourself in a time of peace. You may feel that it will never come back, but it will. In the meantime, be brave & keep going.

Come on back & post here when you feel like venting or have a question; there's someone here most all the time, and you will find a lot of caring hearts here. Good luck to you!
I agree with exactly what sawe wrote. It can be really hard, so give yourself credit for doing as much as you have, and try not to be afraid to tell your t you're having a hard time, or post here to get some support.
