You have to fall off your bike a few times to learn to ride and you have to swallow a lot of nasty water to learn to swim.

That's what I decided to do a while back. I decided to try to be as open as possible and to try to communicate the best I could etc. It's not like I'm sitting there, in his office, thinking that I'm sure as hell not going to do anything. I'm really trying, ok?
I don't even really get exercises by the way. We just talk about thoughts. The same things over and over again. Even the exact same questions. Without getting anywhere.
Perhaps that should be enough to make up my mind. I don't know.
