Near the end of when I was seeing her, ex-T expressed frustration with me, that I still had issues with anxiety and depression. That I was an intelligent, competent person but still had those issues. I guess she somehow didn't understand that mental illness can be a lifelong struggle, that therapy and/or medication can help with management, but might not make it go away completely. It felt like she thought I was defective since I wasn't magically better (and yes, I did/do put in effort). That was a contributing factor to why I went to see a different T, her frustration.
