Well, the old behaviors were rather overtly destructive.
Yeah, I think it's been worthwhile. I melt down a lot less frequently now, and it takes less time to recover. I'm overall more accepting of the less pleasant parts of life, and I get less intensely distressed by them. The panic attacks are virtually gone. I've broken that umbilical cord to my family of origin, and have learned to deal with them on my terms rather than being sucked into the old ways of relating.
I like being asleep more than being awake as well.
But... Isn't the fact that you think so an indication that therapy might be helpful?
