LT
I admit I didn't read it all, I am only skimming, I'm too sad to read recaps from others right now... but I know I saw stuff about anxiety again and while my T has never really been insightful, he did surprisingly say something interesting to ponder with anxiety...
"Sometimes, it's a good thing to try and see if the situation has a volume knob rather than a switch" and I was confused and he said "With volume, you can go up/down and stop at many spots in between, with a switch--its on or off" This was in relation to anxiety related stuff I was panicking over.
And no one can decide what is best for you going forward, but I know for me.. No T is the only choice. I can't do this to myself anymore. You kinda gotta decide if it's worth all the added stress and anxiety it causes you or not, good luck
