Do you guys think Ts and pdocs expect us to eventually recover from our mental illnesses? I feel like my T is just wanting me to take steps to get better, but what the hell is this "better"? No symptoms? there will always be symptoms. the symptoms never go away. Sometimes the symptoms are less severe, and sometimes they are more severe. But to recover from bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, panic disorder, PTSD, and dissociative disorder NOS? I don't think so. My PTSD has gotten less severe, as in less symptoms the past couple years, which is good, but I don't see any other of my illnesses getting "better." It is merely a mirage tat things are "better" just because there are currently less symptoms. I can have a good month or week but the next could be worse and what then. When do these Ts and pdocs assume I will "recover"? how much time, a year, 10 years, 20 years ? and if not, do they think i'm a bad person? doing something wrong? i am so tired of this. even my boyfriend wants me to be "better." like i can just turn off a switch and have my multiple chronic illnesses just go away...
