I have. The reason is because I went through a dozen therapists or more and never connected with a single one. I never felt like it helped me any; going felt like a huge chore and did nothing for my anxiety or bipolar or ED thoughts. In fact, a lot of T's wouldn't even touch the ED aspect even though I was recovered weight wise for a number of years. Never helped my OCD, flashbacks, PTSD, anything. I felt like I was just wasting time and money on the copay each week.

My pdoc wants me to try therapy again, but it's at least a 30 min drive to a decent therapist, and I don't want to commit to that again and waste more money (let alone I really hate driving and I don't like the idea of ZOOM therapy).
