Hi Mellow.
> Thanks for the posts you guys. It really helped to wake up to some support...
My post was meant to be supportive. I'm not sure that it seemed that way, though. It probably seemed somewhat harsh, but I am adamant in my belief that one should keep things as simple as possible with regard to one's self-concept and the psychotherapy that is best suited to treat you. I do like CBT, but it is often not targeted to the pathology present. I doubt that you or I are knowledgeable enough to assess your conditions and therpeutic needs. I would encourage you to pursue CBT, as it can help mitigate negative thoughts and feelings. However, you can add other therapeutic modalities to CBT.Keep things simple.
That's the best advice I can come up with right now.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
