What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

What would the ‘signs’ be, what would they look like, feel like, if it’s time to finally stand on your own two feet?

I often ask the same thing Bronte. I guess once we are sure our coping skills are truly cemented in, then we can think about ending therapy. Ending therapy correctly is important from what I've read. One should wean off.

I tried to cut back to every other week last month because I am thinking it's time to stop being so dependent on my T. I told him I had a really tough time not being there the week before so he suggested we go back to weekly for a bit. He said that I could look at it as "I've got everything under control so now I want to grow." It feels like dependency to me and that is one thing I really hate.

Iam,

In 2009, Psych-doc fixed for me to talk to a psychologist. The psychologist actually told me that he didn't think he could improve upon my coping tools. He used words like remarkable and insightful. I think my coping tools are quite successful, and Psych-doc visits have gradually be cut down to six week intervals. Or a quick call to my own doctor if needed. Maybe those are the signs I should have been looking for. On my next visit I will discuss not coming again and see what she says. I don't think I'm dependant on Psych-doc, I have always had this .. 'I might be going mad but I'm not going without a fight' mentality. Thank you for helping me to clarify my thoughts on how I was feeling yesterday.

Sorry folks for the slight derail.

It's Monday, it's almost 4am and I'm feeling tiered but much, much better.
 
Feeling very, very positive.
I found out tonight that one of the neighbors I have had so many difficulties with is moving..Rah! Rah! No more house music, no more listening to him scream at his wife (who I like very much) or his daughter. I am finally going to be able to sleep in my bedroom again for the first time in months.
Everytime a stresser is removed from my life, I feel better and can deal with my issues better.:whistling:
