Why do that you ask????

Well .. I got in a funk about 6 months ago and felt like I was walking in a circle in therapy ... SO my T said .. Ok time to revisit the past ... He pulled up the notes from my first visit , my 4th appt and my most recent session..

It was a huge eye opener , I was able to really see how much better I am.

Oh yeah and Therapy isn't suppost to be easy .. My T always says "if it's not hard work then we are doing it wrong"
Yeah, I'm really not good at coping. I've stopped trying to kill myself when I get really depressed so I guess that's a start.

I'll ask her next week, maybe reread some of my journal entries, too.
