If ONLY it was so flippin' easy as flipping a switch by "going out w/ friends" or being social. Puh-lease! Like we wouldn't have tried that a hundred times if it was *that* easy!!!??? What they're saying to you is simply nonsense, so don't take it in as fact. Your feelings and illness are way more complex than that and if anyone should know that, a therapist should. I'm really sorry you're having to deal with someone being dismissive toward you like that...you deserve better care.

Always feel free to vent here about it, bc many of us have been where you're at...you're not alone .
