heh, I missed this before.

I made the mistake of telling my parents I was seeing a therapist, when I was in college. Since it wasn't a +christian+ therapist, ANYthing she said (or didn't say) must have been very bad, from their perspective.

Basically I needed to remove sin from my life, exorcise Satan's stronghold, etc, and then I would be free from depression.

When I eventually deconverted from xianity, I thought THAT might relief the pressure. It did, in some ways, but a life long of depressive habits and chemical imbalance can't be settled by realising that Jesus ain't coming to get me anytime soon. (Drats.)

I don't know, it didn't seem too too hard to say yes to therapy. It +did+ take me a long time to believe that my first therapist believed what I told her about my family background. Truth is stranger than fiction ...

how're you doing with this lately, Tabitha?
