For a bit it was, then I felt as if I would be o.k., with my anger. Now I think I need to try it again. Sometimes when you can't do what is suggested you feel worse then ever.

Have been in therapy for about 10 years.

Therapy saved my life physically and emotionally from a marriage filled with alcoholism, violence. I was able to leave and divorce him something I couldn't have done without this support. Major depression setin but I discovered how to manage my interactions with family and relationships on better. learning to avoid my habit of "saving". I am still learning and it is like wearing the wrong size shoes but it is working. Inside I still feel off balance without direction. depression subsided.

Lucky enough to be seeing one of the best psychologist in my area who specializes in ED's. Sometimes a friend, sometimes an enemy but always a lifeline.
Yes. Very much so. It has built my self esteem and I'm learning boundaries and limits.
