i have seen a psychiatrist for 10 years bu haven't done any actual 'work.' i guess i've naturally come back together (and fallen apart a lot along the way too) more on my own.

the only things it does for me really is give me a safeish place to talk and also having some things validated for me.

i haven't been ready or stable enough yet to do more in depth work, and i have no idea what it would even look like or what it would do to me.

as okay as i can be, i also can still struggle quite severe...so it is confusing to me how to still balance all of it. i have thought a lot over the years of not seeing the psychiatrist anymore, but i always go back to her since she has been the safest one out of any i've seen.

sometimes, taking a break from therapy is okay. not everyone responds the same to it. and you might also have times where you are ok and times you aren't too, so it really is your choice about what you feel you need and when you need it (or don't). it used to over load me years ago since i was seeing different people for different things, so that was also part of why it was hard for me. it's still not easy just seeing the psychiatrist, but it is my one connection still to someone who is understanding.
