I do have insurance and I have been to a therapist before. I just find myself having a VERY hard time opening up to a therapist. The only therapist I saw on a continual basis actually dismissed me as a patient because she felt like we weren't making any progress - that and I stopped showing up for appointments.

Is it strange that I feel very weird about talking about my issues with someone who is physically near me or someone that knows me? I don't know why it freaks me out.

I started on Zoloft and then Prozac when I was around 17, but I discontinued taking it when I was about 19, because I wasn't responsible enough to always remember to take my medication. I started again about a two years ago, and then stopped because I was worried the long-term effects on my brain might outweigh the benefits.

Anyway, yeah...I guess I really need to figure this out asap. Thank you all for your reponses! Any further feedback/info/solutions will be very much appreciated! : )
