Maybe. I don't know. I don't really put myself out there to find out anymore, because I just don't care to. The experiences I have had have been enough to make me wary of healthy people, let alone those who have psychiatric issues.

But if you are tired of having to interact with emotionally out of control people, how do you think those people feel having to HAVE those out of control emotions? And they dont have the choice you have of just walking away?

But you do have a choice about your behaviors. Everyone does. Even when I am ticcing, I have a choice about whether to stay put or go somewhere else and get myself under control. Even when I feel all volition seeping out of me right before a catatonic freeze comes over me, I have a choice whether to stay in the middle of the intersection or slither over to the sidewalk.
I don't know, TC. It seems like these kinds of threads are also a pattern of yours. The OP always puts your therapist in the "bad guy" position, and then gradually, as posters put your feet to the fire, information comes out that makes things seem not so bad. We started off the thread with your therapist and you exchanging harsh words. Now everything seems to "joy to the world" again, with added information that you'd left out in the OP. It's like a roller coaster. First I think "OMG, that's awful! Bad therapist!" and then I get judgmental on you and then I don't know what to think.
And that's kind of how I am now. I don't know what to think. But I am feeling that we're not getting all the information we probably need to really evaluate what's going on.
