I could have written the exact same thing. In fact I bet I have nearly the exact same thing written in some post in the past.

The things that kept me going:
  • My T seemed to think I did actually need therapy. He is better trained in this stuff and I'm probably not sneaky enough to fool him.
  • I decided that thinking that I needed therapy even when I didn't need therapy was a therapy-worthy issue, in and of itself.
Thanks for this!
