Hi members and staff,
Can I win the battle is the big question I ponder; let me explain.
Having many severe depression episodes, I have had several different talk therapists. These include MSM's, Psychologists, Addiction councilors, and Psychiatrists. So far none of them have been able to open up the pain and fear that makes me a failure as a whole person.
For example, one very attractive Social-worker, came very close to making me open up and I sadly developed a huge crush on her, forcing me end therapy prematurely.
One other therapist [female as well] intimatated me so much that I feared going to her sessions.
So this is my battle to find a professional therapist that can make me comfortable enough to fight through the mental barriers that keep me from getting well.
For the record, I take 225mg of Effexor, and 250mg of Welbutrin daily. Have an alcohol abuse problem and social phobia.
of course chronic depression too.
So can I find a pschotherapist, or should i bother to try?
Any thoughts or comments are welcome.
Be well and safe........rcguy
