Glad you had a good therapist. My therapists were mostly judgmental, but some were supportive too. However, therapy always caused more depression and made me more vulnerable. Remembering things and going through all the trauma made me more depressed. Even now I get sad remembering things. But in the end, our outlook on life helps us recover from life's problems. No one can do that. Keep on writing, it makes me feel that I am not alone in going through all this.
Thank you so much Shruti. I can completely empathise how scarring that experience can be. I am sorry it didn't work out for you. But it's so accurate that in the end you are your own therapist. Your last line is what keeps me going. My whole purpose in sharing these writings is to make people feel less alone in whatever they are facing or enduring. I really appreciate your comment.
Been there, done that & yes - counselling was a game changer for me. I always thought that i was a tough cookie who could take any shit thrown my way. It was only after i was prescribed B.P medication that i realized i was just bottling all things inside causing my own downfall. Ur article is so well articulated & a must read for all for them to realize that- It's OK to not Be OK . That its a NORMAL thing to seek help. That v r humans after all !! Keep writing Babe, giving us such regular doses of heartfelt insights 😀😊
