I don't have one. I can never find one that I like or trust, and some of them have been just awful.

I only had one that I liked, and she really helped me work through some problems I had, and helped me get over a traumatic experience that happened to me when I was eighteen.

This last one I didn't trust at all. She was way too tell my pnp, call my husband, tell everyone everything that we were talking about happy. And I saw her shortly after I got out of the hospital last (for a mania psychotic episode), and I was very angry about the whole experience, and she kept on insisting I was still manic, despite how I wasn't. For her it was always bipolar this and bipolar that. I felt like a label. And she told me that I resent my daughter (because I never planned on becoming a mother), and I DON'T resent her!

So I stopped seeing her.

How important do you believe it is to have a therapist?

I just have such bad luck. I saw one during my last severely depressed episode, where I was having all of these self harm thoughts, and she actually made me demonstrate to her what I wanted to do to my arm (like slice it with a knife). That didn't make me feel good. Only one appointment with her. Last appointment. I mean, wtf.
