In reply to Why did you start therapy?, posted by Jazzed on May 25, 2005, at 11:18:18
I started because of anxiety and uncontrollable obsessions and a history of depression. I often dealt with those by SI which was getting worse. Meds have controlled the anxiety and obsessions (and I think the depression) pretty well. Through the therapy I've had so far, I overcame a lot of self destructive thoughts and fear that kept my life very limited. The SI has really tapered off as well. I continue with therapy to try to understand where all of that came from and just understand myself better in general. It's fascinating.
