Tabitha...thanks for the feedback. It's nice to know that I'm not crazy..actually it's more than nice to know...sometimes professionals "make" me feel that I am nutty, ya know? you'd think they'd understand.
Luckily, this lady is not my normal therapist...she's the therapist at the partial hospitilization (outpatient) program where I just did inpatient. My regular counselor is much gentler...honest and all, but very kind and gentle and he valitates my emotions.
I think it's a good idea to tell her how I felt when she questioned me like that. Thank you for pointing that out. I'll bring it up on Monday with her...I'll just say how I felt, and do it in a non blaming way...so she doesn't get defensive.
It's funny...I've been struggling with depression for over 10 years...if I could snap out of it or get rid of it, I would...it's no fun at all. Sometimes I wish these "professionals" could go through what we go through so they know...alot of them have though, that's probably why they got into the biz, to help others...but it's like they forget how hard it is or something.
Thanks for listening and responding.
:)
