I never really went to try and find a cure, it was Mother Dearest (she hates me calling her that, I reserve that name for when she’s brassing me off) who originally went to my GP (General Practitioner aka family doctor) behind my back to make an appointment for me. I’m really fortunate in a way that he didn’t find out the real reason why I was stressed out, I was really tempted to tell him. He wasn’t terribly happy about mum making appointments without consulting with me.

Yeah I think that ultimately seeing a therapist can help you make sense of what you’re going through but I’ve lost the original faith that I had in therapy as far as finding a cure or cause (in my case at least). Though, speaking with someone about your feelings can definitely ease the process and with what little there is available to us, that alone seems to justify it to me.

It just goes to show you…therapy can’t fix BIID, but if you’ve got other issues, your overall quality of life can often be improved by seeing a good therapist. And that makes the BIID a bit easier to bear.

It’s good to see that you are progressing toward your long term goals. It might feel crappy, but in the long run it is worth it. Nice to hear that your dad was receptive to your needs too.

I’m very glad to hear that seeing the councillor helped you. :)
