Someone asked about talk therapy. Talk therapy as in psychologist, no I have never felt the need. I find them unhelpful and patronizing. Especially since when I went to one to be officially "diagnosed", when I was speaking he kept ducking his head into my line of vision when I didn't keep my eyes directly on him all the time. That was extremely annoying. It was like he thought since I wasn't looking at him at all times I must either me lying or not paying attention to him. That and my insurance deductible was $250 and then it only covered 50%. No freaking way. It just wasn't worth it. I wasn't going to pay someone to patronize me. I find candid conversation among friends who share the same and somewhat different problems much more theraputic. I also don't find it as sterile and DEFINITELY not patronizing. So I thank you very much!
