THERAPY: what if you have no secrets?!


Question: THERAPY: what if you have no secrets?
I was watching Girl, Interrupted and this really stuck with me:

Georgina Tuskin: Lisa, is Daisy really getting out?
Lisa Rowe: Yeah, she coughed up a big one.
Susanna Kaysen: But how could - I mean she's... insane.
Lisa Rowe: Yeah, well that's what ther-rape-me's all about. That's why ******' Freud's pictures on every shrink's wall. He created a ******' industry. You lie down, you confess your secrets and you're saved. Ca-ching! The more you confess, the more they think about settin' you free.
Susanna Kaysen: But what if you don't have a secret?
Lisa Rowe: Then you're a lifer, like me.

I have BPD, but nothing to blame for it. Now what? Does this mean I'm hopeless?

Answers:

No. Not at all. I have Severe Chronic Major Depression and a slew of anxiety disorders and am what is referred to as "Treatment Resistant" because of the list of treatments I've been through and medications I've tried and been on that have not worked or made it worse. I've had doctors tell me I'm hopeless. I've had doctors tell me that unless I get electroconvulsive therapy (shock treatment) I'm hopeless. I move on to other doctors. It gets very expensive, but I haven't given up yet as much as I've wanted to, and I don't think you should either. So, now you've started reaching out which is a great first step. Keep going to find treatment options. And never stop.

Remember, in the movie, Susanna ended up finding out she really did have secrets she didn't know she had. And she went through all this in the 60's. Hospitals aren't like that now and there are treatments that weren't available then.

Also, I think I've answered two of your questions now, so if you want to talk ever, my email is chmellott@yahoo.com
