Real, honest question here, not just stubbornly shooting off the usual snap-back response.
What could the EAP/therapist really do to help me?
I've already got friends who I am talking to via the method I use to actually get my feelings out. That's email/IM/etc. So I'm not bottling things up (except at work).
I'm taking medication to help "round out" the rough edges during the day or night.
I *know* what activity is therapeutic to me, and that's what I want to go home and do -- not just go home and hide.
I'm not asking myself *why* he did it, I feel we know why. Rather than why did he do it, it's more why did he do it *that day* instead of later. And even that I have a pretty good feel for.
I know that it's going to get rougher before it gets easier, but I know that it will get easier.
I'm eating pretty much as normal, and drinking pretty much as normal.
What more is a therapist going to be able to do to help?
I've had 3 people in the past hour tell me I really need to go in myself now. But if all they're going to do is tell me I'm already doing everything they can do to help, I don't want to waste the time or money going to a therapist.
So... what more can they do to help?
