I know T said one of the advantages of therapy is, it gives me another avenue, it teaches me think.

Yes I appreciate the avenue...but hope to not need it forever..though it is nice.

I guess I was hoping somewhere in the deepest darkest realms of my mind, that therapy would change my history. IT can't, but I guess I am getting better at thinking about it.

I would like for it to change my future...

When I have self destructive thoughts, which I still do often, they do not seem as deep or last as long.

This is a relief.... and works for me when the meds are working.

I also think this forum isn't just about progress, its fine to talk about our depressions and setbacks. Recovery isn't a straight line and I'd rather people talk "real" how it really is for them or otherwise we/I can feel I'm not doing as well as others if it was all honkey dorey posts.

Thank you... I hope it is also progress despite the setbacks.
