I'm still in therapy for the same reason I went in. Things have improved but there have been hurdles I've needed to jump (per my own analysis). When I started seeing my T, I was there for severe depression and anxiety. I wasn't functioning. My brain had just finally had enough of me trying to cope on my own and I just... stopped? I don't know. I couldn't make decisions, I struggled to eat. I had all the dark dark thoughts that need trigger warnings and I coped in the ways that need trigger warnings.

We really needed to get my base depression corrected though. My coping skills improved vastly. I started functioning (mostly) until about two years ago and then I stopped doing well - I was functioning, my tolerance being higher, and I was coping in healthier ways.

When my depression got successfully medicated this last summer (after years of trying), now we're trying to work on all the ways that left me in "survival" mode. So it's the same goal but there is notable progress.
