Hi rectopathic,
Firstly I really like your positive outlook on it on the last sentence:life really throws in the punches when it knows I have support!
Maybe that's why it falls apart because it knows you have someone to help you put the pieces back together.
I find that when I am in therapy I neglect other areas of my life, such as friends and relationships because I try to work on me and distance myself from others but that alone is a recipe for disaster and am working on that.
Do you find that therapy works for you?
Or do the cons out weigh the pros here?
It could of course be a strange coincidence but maybe there is a reason for it, for example we change when we are in therapy, we become stronger, maybe this does not suit the people in your life and they resist it, causing you strife?
