I have an appointment with my T tomorrow and I feel like asking her what she thinks is wrong with me. It's nice to go and talk to her once a week, but there isn't a lot we "work" on. I originally went because I was dealing with depression and anxiety and from a medication stand point we dealt with that (kinda it's an on going process). But there haven't been any on going issues. The only trauma I've dealt with is my mother when she passed, but we don't ever really talk about it. I know she thinks that my depression was brought on by different things and may also be a chemical imbalance. She's told me many times I don't have to have a reason to be depressed. Then what is there to talk about? What is the purpose of therapy if there isn't anything I can do about it?

When I first started, I knew it was because I needed to be. Now? I do sometimes wonder why I keep making appointments when I don't feel like I NEED them anymore. But I realized just this evening after hanging up from talking to my T: It's because I WANT to be, and that's okay.

No. I'm mad as the proverbial. But like Sweepy I wish I'd gone a long time ago, or at least perservered. Anyway i think there is always something behind depression it just may take some digging out.

Sometimes I go to Therapy just to have someone to talk to.

Could talking be online on FB with a trusted friend?

I know why I go. It is nothing major, but I do know.

I know why I need therapy and also knew it during times when I doubted its ability to help me.

Yes, I know. It's different than the reason that prompted me to make the call but it is very clear. I do not plan to continue when I get to the point of not having issues to discuss.

Simple. So I can learn to live, rather than just survive.

I don't know. I know what my problems are, but I don't have much hope for myself so I'm not sure why I go.
 To have my heart broken again I guess. I am a martyr. Sigh.

I have so many issues from childhood and things that have happened in the last 10 years. I do wonder if sometimes my T thinks I'm making them up even though she's given me no reason to think that. I just get paranoid I am wasting her time.

The last therapy round was a do or die situation for me. I chose not to die, but to live my authentic-self.
