The thing is, given that I don't complain very much even if it hurts real bad my therapist probably thinks it's not something very serious. Probably that's why I'm not labeled yet. I just can't open up, I'd be disgusted by myself. Nevertheless, psychotherapy is still redundant. I could use the money spent every week for therapy to buy some nice clothes or better - some vinyls.

I realized I've been doing this, too, not telling my pdoc exactly how bad I feel. I've been seeing him for a long time and just see him for short med checks. I got in the habit of telling him about funny things that happened at work and trying to guess people's diagnoses. Not very helpful.
Sounds like we both need to get more serious about helping the docs help us. Last time I brought a list of recent symptoms and just read it to him. That helped a lot.
It stinks that the organ we utilize to think and communicate with others about our problems is, largely, the problem.
