Am I Ok

[bmhekav]

I have been seeing a therapist/psychologist for almost 4 years (depression & anxiety) which has helped a lot. My problem is he is closing his practice, I will still get my meds from primary Dr. Its just that I am so used to seeing him once a month. I think I will be alright not seeing a therapist. But I feel like maybe I should try to live my life without seeing one. I guess my question is, is it wise to just stop going to see someone or should I try to find a new one?

This is an issue you should discuss carefully with your current therapist before you stop.  The answer depends on what you have learned, and where you are in your sense of being confident that you will address whatever problems that come up and resolve them rather than run away from them...If you are ready to confront, you might want to do that on your own.

a lot of time depression is caused by anxiety. if this is the case, buy MAP-3, mastering anxiety and panic by barlow. it is the cbt manual. you can work through it yourself. get it at amazon.

Would you consider a support group? There are often self-help support groups for people diagnoses with depression and anxiety. A lot of people have said they have been really helpful.
Also, I hope that your therapist (the one that you will be ending with) gave you some possible referrals in the event that you find that you do need to restart therapy in the future.
I say, give a support group a try! It may just give you that extra support that you need.
Good luck

Why am I all alone?
Maybe because I’m a very sad individual that does not know the difference between lies and the truth, maybe it’s because I don’t like woman, maybe it’s because I want to see prostitutes raped and beaten, maybe it’s because I sent a girl “Oxana” in the Ukraine $5000 via western union and now pretend it was for an Orphanage, maybe because of the diatribe of lies and contradictions I spun on fiancé.com I lost all credibility, maybe because all I have is a couple of pictures and an 8 second video of a girl I never met, never knew, never even spoke to, maybe it’s because I can’t stand the fact she is having a wonderful life with another guy, maybe it’s because I can’t stop thinking about them and what they do EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, maybe it’s because their love and passion is tearing me apart every single day, maybe it’s because I prefer to sit at my computer and make up more lies about them because I can not move on with my life, maybe it’s because “I wish she was dead” like my ex-girlfriend, to quote “Martin, if you must know, my girlfriend was burned to death when she was trapped after being struck by a drunk driver. I miss her terribly and think about her everyday”,
or maybe it’s just because I am a very sick and disturbed individual that can not understand that I will never ever be with this girl because she now knows by my own written emails what type of monster I really am!
