Just a Quick Note

I understand that PTSD, and any mental health problem really, cannot be overcome without help. I really do, but I wish that people would stop telling me that I have to go to therapy when I get back to school in August. I love you guys and I appreciate that you want me to get better. But really? Telling me to go to therapy doesn't help. Especially with the experience I had with therapy before. The therapist blamed everything on my break up with my ex-fiance. She didn't want to discuss anything else. Discussing how we broke up and how I felt afterward over and over and over and over didn't help anything. All it did was make me worse. So, why should I expect therapy to be any different this time?

I love you guys and I want to be better and I know you want me to be better.

I don't necessarily think you need to go back in August. I just think it would be a good idea to go back at some point. I don't think that you should just dismiss it just because you didn't like the first counselor. Again, just my opinion. I will shut up now.

Well, it's just that I've heard the suggestion about going back to counseling about three times this past week or so. It's not just that I don't want to go back because of my bad counselor. I also don't want to go back because of how I reacted to counseling last time. You know how bad it got before I just quit going to counseling. And you know how much better I got after I left counseling.
