I used to go every week. I found it helpful. Then I thought I didn't need it and was lost in the mental health system again.

Then life struggles ensued and my mental health worsened. The drug addiction didn't help... then I was hospitalized with bpd and psychosis. I started DBT after my BPD diagnosis. That helped a bit.... until I stopped going. Then my meds were changed and I became manic. Hospitalized again.

So I resign that I may need therapy long term. And I am finally ok with that. It's good to have a neutral party set on helping you be mentally well. I love my current counselor so much. She's gentle and helps me determine symptoms of my mental illnesses and parts of me. I also discuss relationships, coping skills etc. I can ask any questions and she doesn't bat and eye. Sometimes we laugh at the silly things I've said or done and she's just an all around good human being.

I consider her important for my wellbeing. I look forward to our Apts which are every 2 weeks to monthly depending on my work schedule and her calender spots.
