I dunno where this thread goes so I figure ill stick it here.

How often should you see a councelor? I tried to go once a week when I had 5 weeks off work back in March, then I got really depressed and decided to say hell no to counceling! then they called me to call back, now I am back at counceling. I have not gone in nearly a month though...figured i'd restart when I met up with therapist and psychiatrist. I met up with both today, psychiatrist thought I should have a meeting in 1 month, that blew me away! I've only had like 4 sessions since I started going 2 months ago and now it's almost like I should not bother going anymore..i'm cured! 4 sessions and i'm cured! meet once a month, the therapist said I should try every few weeks a month ago but I wanted to keep going weekly, both times they blew me away and I felt rejected!

I don't get those thoughts like I used to because i'm talking to them and I told them that. Now it feels like I wasted all that time thinking i'm going to finally do this! finally get better...then poof! let's barely talk now because you seem fine! I've not told them everything because I thought this was a long process, they have said people have come for years or decades yet i'm fine after 4 sessions. I always thought you go once a week or once every other week to talk about your life, figure out how to change things and it goes on for aslong as you want it to? I really don't wanna go back to my constant thoughts and alcohol like I used to all the time.
