do you ever feel like maybe you have spent too much time in therapy or in self help groups?

its getting to be that i dont know how to be around people in any other context, what amount of self-disclosure is appropriate, i worry that in a normal context i will seem too obsessed with my problems or i have become actually obsessed with my problems because of long term therapy...

like everyone i know has been around me to help me since i was a kid. getting so tired of it.

I've gotten sick of therapy before, and I've taken a break from it. It's okay to step back for awhile, just talk with your T about it.

I wonder this too. I notice changes over the time I've been seeing T, but not sure it's all for the better. All the self checking habits, makes it difficult to feel "normal" around people.

Set your goals as to what you'd like to receive from therapy. CBT.
Mindfulness. Meditation.
If you've learned all you want for now, stop. But if you're on meds continue with Pdoc.

So you need no help. Easy. Quit going.

In the early years it was like that. With time it changed.
