I have been to probably almost a dozen therapists and counselors since I was 13. I last saw one a year ago, the first one I'd seen since I was diagnosed with Asperger's, and she wasn't helpful at all. She was a cognitive behavioral therapist like the others, and I've actually read that cognitive behavioral therapy doesn't work so well for Aspies. (?)
Basically I have been living *without* my fantasy world since college... and my treatment-resistant depression makes living day to day extremely rough. It almost seemed easier when I had my fantasy world to retreat into when I needed to back in high school etc. I feel guilty for thinking about reverting back to it at my age... but are there other adults out there who do it when needed? Anyone?
