For this round, at the beginning and probably for the first year, yes, I believe I would not be here today without it. Now, I believe I'm more in the camp of surviving life, though I hope therapy will get me to the place where I'm living life the majority of the time. I don't think it is needed for me to biologically stay alive. But, what's the point of that if all you are doing is going through the motions and counting down the days until you die? Most days, I'm a step above that now and there are even days where I feel/think I don't want to die (maybe moments where I get to "I want to live"). Where as before the event that resulted me in going to therapy, I was simply going through the motions counting down the days until I died with some days wishing that would come sooner than later.
