So i've been having a really rough couple weeks with depression and pushing my friends away. My T and I talked about all sorts of stuff today and she went through a bunch of coping mechanisms to try whenever I get in a panic state. She also helped me with realizing how passive aggressive and gamey I come off as whenever I panic and get in a state of total desperation. I feel so good that something she said today will really help me calm myself down and bring people closer rather than push them away. I'm bipolar and don't always realize what I do, but she went over warning signs and coping mechanisms with me and just helped so much! I just wanted to share with someone cuz I'm really happy about it. I seriously feel like I have the best T ever right now cuz she has helped me so much!

I'm glad you had such a good session and have such a great therapist, but I hate to disappoint you but your therapist can't be the best ever, that is unless we are seeing the same one.
