Nope, nobody gets it. Even when my GP asks me why I'm more depressed than usual, I often don't know what to say. Oh you know, the one and only person I've ever felt attached to just said something that indicated that there's no hope left in us working together, so yeah, poor me, I have nobody. I actually just say that I don't know or that difficult stuff came up in my life. Bit sad really that even most doctors and psychiatrists don't seem to understand the process at all, although they'll happily prescribe medication for psychological disorders. Recently my psychiatrist (again) told me that it was unheard of for two people to be working together as client and therapist over a number of years and so I needed to end asap. I gather that I'm supposed to take medication and just get on with life. Too bad I've already spent 15 years trying to cope on my own without the help of another person...and it didn't lead anywhere good.

Before I started the process, I didn't understand it either.

One person in my real life has figured out that I have an appointment at the same time each week. If she asks about it, then I'm not quite sure what I'm going say. Something honest without being completely honest...I suspect.
