Does anybody hit a wall with theapy

I have been out of hospital for almost 2 months going to PDOC every 6 weeks. Going to therapist every week and group therapy once a week.I am sick of talking about my self I feel like I hit a wall. I know there are issues I must deal with but I am tired. I guess it must be hitting a nerve cause I just want to quit everything and be done. I have been feeling better on meds. Sleeping 4-6 hours a night. Mood is not a flat that has been it has been no emotion. Am I fighting the process?

I would take a break as long as your mood is pretty stable take a 2 week break to re-group and take a self min-vacation with yourself doing what you want to do only. Take a mental health break.

My therapist told me that when I get bored w/therapy and don't want to continue going it's a sign that you will be making a breakthrough.
She was right. I don't know why or how it happens but if you feel like you're not getting anywhere STICK TO IT. You'll find that there is something troubling you that you were not aware of.

For what it's worth Cheryl I agree...Therapy is a through pain in the ass but it's the fastest way that I know of to get to the other side of the junk that gets in the way of being happy!

Stick to it and speak up, write in a journal and look at what you are saying! I agree with Dobie it's always darkest before the dawn!

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...
