This reminds me of a quote I came across this week...
"The best way to avoid disappointment is to not expect anything from anyone"
It's so simple and true. I have definately been in your boat with the sudden realization that they don't care. To be fair, not all are like that. I have serious doubts dr/ therapists in the mental health industry actually caring. My therapist marked me for termination back in Nov.. Because I wanted to reduce my sessions. For the record my life is not okay but the things I need to work on don't require me to see her quite as often! So if they truely cared, they probably would have cared that my life still is not where I want it to be. Just because I have a mental illness, does not mean that should be my only focus in therapy. So anyway, it is painful to realize but can be helpful too. I look into treatments that I think will be good for me and look into medicines they want to prescribe. This way I am not just blindly agreeing to everything. It can be a good thing because you know that you have to look out for yourself and not put all your trust into a stranger.
