I put other, because I am not sure why exactly I went. The first time, my kitten (and first pet as an adult) died suddenly after I had him for 5 months, and I was devastated. I had been thinking of therapy previous to this event, and that disturbed me enough to try.
I lasted 5 years, but never really got anywhere; which looking back, SUCKS that I didn't stop much earlier. I was on anti-depressants for most of that time, but stopped cold turkey because I wasn't even sure I needed to be on them/believed I was depressed.
I took a year off, and while my life didn't plummet drastically, it didn't improve either, so I decided to try again. I have been with this T for 7 months, and feel like I've gone farther than the past therapy-but have reached that state of "is there even anything wrong with me (I am diagnosed with dysthymia-and I sometimes believe it, sometimes don't, and wholly believe it isn't "serious.")/I have so many things right and good in my life, what am I even doing here?"
This is why I quit last time because I couldn't answer that question. Do I want to change? What do I want to change? Do I believe I can? Etc....
Sorry, off on a tangent, but yeah...other.
