Does anybody else ever experience this in therapy or just in life in general? I have a really hard time being emotional around others or acknowledging that I have emotions to others. The primary reason I'm even in therapy is depression to begin with, and I just can't acknowledge that I'm really, really sad or that I cry a lot by myself to the therapist. I feel like I'm making others uncomfortable with my emotions or bothering them or they think I'm pathetic....I'm not sure how to explain it, really. So far my therapy sessions have been solution-focused with the therapist giving suggestions on what steps to take to better my life in terms of things like finances, education, jobs, hobbies, etc. That's great to a degree, but I didn't schedule an appointment so a therapist can give me his opinion on how to be an adult. I scheduled an appointment because I'm depressed, except I can't bring myself to be like, "Dude. I'm sad. What can you do about it?"
