In reply to waking up from mental illness...do I need therapy?, posted by med_empowered on August 18, 2008, at 16:10:26

Hi, med_em. You sound like therapy could really help you at this point if, as others say, you found a T you clicked with. It often takes seeing a few people before you find that one. It's a feeling you'll have-- like knowing that you really like someone, just an intuitive sense of rightness. Sometimes, people are nice, and fine-- but they aren't the right person to have as a T, so I would talk to several before I made up my mind.

You have a lot of life ahead of you, and as nfc said, you can't change what you've done or said-- all you can do is live each day, and be aware of how lucky you are to have the good parts of it-- and work toward living more fully. You haven't wasted that much time. We all probably feel we missed out on a lot. That isn't the real thing, though-- it's what we didn't miss out on- if we can come to appreciate-- and what we aren't going to miss out on.

If you have access to a few good referrals, I'd start there-- and see how it goes. It could make a huge difference for you, as you figure out what you need and can learn from therapy.
