That is interesting. I asked about that in group once. If we are constantly having issues because we are over thinking every small detail. If you think about it many people get depressed and don't go to therapy at all.

I like attention from my therapist too. I think that is normal. We go to therapy and it is all about you for an hour. Here is this person who pretends to really care about you and make you feel ok. What's not to love about that! Seriously!

With that said my issues are real and I am sure yours are too. Whether I am in therapy or not they are real. I lived with the disorder for at least 10 years before I seeked any help at all. What my therapist and I focus on is using the skills I learned in the IOP this fall when I run into trouble. Do you use skills you learned?
