I always had a dissociative disorder. But I healed from it over the course of 14 years of big-time therapy. But, you know, I mean, everybody's kind of loony now. So I was kind of a pioneer in the mental illness thing, too.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I myself have been in therapy. Repeatedly.
I was going through a crisis once, so I went to therapy because I was so unbearable for myself.
I had a husband who, I'm convinced, was an undiagnosed manic depressive. He didn't treat me as if I had a brain - I was just this beautiful little doll he could show off.
I went into therapy several times, but it rarely made an impact.
As a kid, I always went to therapists; the first time was when my parents were separated on my sixth birthday, then on and off since then.
The only real experiences I've had with therapists were the ones who were working with me and my family when my mother was ill.
I've been to therapists my whole life.
I had gone through a really rough patch in my life, struggling with anxiety and depression for the first time ever, and it was totally new to me. I really had no idea what was going on, and it was all I could think about, so it was all I could write about.
I had a very complex childhood, and when I met my wife, because she has a master's in psychology, she promoted me into getting help. It really has helped. I'm not healed yet, but I'm working on some issues I had as a child.
I've been in therapy my whole life.
