It might help to give some thought to why you want fame and power. Do you feel powerless in your day to day life? Fame? If you get famous you will never have a minute of privacy. Do you want that? Think about how these things you want would make your life better. You may be over looking some steps you could take care right now to improve your situation.

I want all the positives which come with fame and power despite the disadvantages - I want to express myself, be heard, be listened to, be trusted
I want to have value, to give value to others (though this has been hardest for me)
Some people can get away with doing some bad things while succeeding, like my ex therapist, and people like them will justify themselves with "nobody's perfect" or "everyone makes mistakes", but people like me?
"Commit to therapy, do as we say or suffer"
I'd rather suffer
Therapy always seems like a gateway to life - only through therapy will you be able to have friends and get a job, and even then, you will listen to the stronger human beings even if they hurt you
