Hi JenStar,
Thanks for replying- you had a lot of good points that I will keep thinking about....
I think I have in the past made fun of therapy and maybe that's why my friend felt comfortable going off on me the other day. Maybe I am to blame too for giving her a skewed view of everything- I leave out parts that would probably explain a lot, but I feel too uncomfortable to share with her. I guess I am glad though that I know how she really feels now & I probably won't bring up the subject of therapy with her anymore.
As far as if I should go to therapy... well I see that there are things that have happened that I should discuss, but umm well whether I get to discussing them is another story. One of my friend's points was that therapy for me has turned into building a relationship with a therapist and learning to trust her instead of going there and talking about whatever problems I have. She thinks its ridiculous that I would spend money to try to have a relationship with someone. I see her point. And, I could see how it would be frustrating for her to hear about how I'm not sure if I should trust this t when she probably feels like who the heck cares- you can trust me- that we are actually real friends in real life. I dunno. I don't think I could just go and blab to someone about important stuff (even though I know it would have to stay confidential) without at least testing them first and trying to determine if they are trustworthy. I sort of feel like the more I tell someone, the more power they have over me and the more power they have to hurt me.
