I have been diagnosed by a couple of psych's over the years and every therapist and counselor that I've ever been counseled by. I've been told that I will always needs to see a therapist for talk. It runs in cycles, though. Sometimes I go for a few months and really feel fine and then I get so low, I know when it's time to get some help. I try not to beat myself up mentally. When I actually make the call for the appointment I get relief because I have made a positive step toward helping myself. It always works.
