I have never been honest to a therapist after I grew older. Which is why I don't try to go to them. I was honest only once when I was younger, this led to me being put on a cocktail of medicine and locked up in a troubled youth home. From then on, I've worked my way through my symptoms. I do see a psychiatrist who prescribes me anti-anxiety medication. I'm also on a mild anti-depressant for IBS-D. Also taking a beta blocker for POTS.

I've managed to get myself a combination of medicine that's slowly normalizing my life. All this without baring my soul and risking being institutionalized again or drugged out of my mind.

My situation isn't normal, a lot of people get great help from a therapist. As for me, well, I'll keep reading up and helping myself.
