Thanks all, I've decided therapy is not for me.

Neither is this site. I was very happy on my week long break from it, happy enough to consider getting help for the problems which have plagued me.

Therapy brings you down.

I will change my own way in my own pace, on the areas that I know are necessary to change, not irrelevant areas others condescendingly tell me are better, despite education or expertise.

My self knowledge and confidence is labeled as issues with control and trust.

This is what the mental health very much for profit industry does. It labels you and puts you into tidy little boxes and gaslights you.

There is nothing wrong with me except for the things I specified in my original post. Those are things I have considered and reflected on to be the most relevant things to improve upon. Overall I am fine.

Please do not twist me this way and that. Never again.

If a therapist does not accept me and my approach, I do not accept them. I'm not going to change myself for them. That's ********.

Thank you.

I won't be back on this site for a very long time so don't bother replying.

I am very hurt. I deserve to express this hurt.

Please take the high road and dismiss me. I won't be coming back for a long time anyway.
