<p>I used up my 20 sessions and then some my first two semesters. Counselor said my only option was group therapy for another semester, but I kind of don’t like people. Mom (is a nurse) took me to therapy this summer and the therapist said I was depressed and should see a psychiatrist and get on meds. She was against it, and said I’d be fine once I got back into school. (Why is it that the people that gave birth to me seem to understand me the least? And then she has the nerve to say she knows me better than myself.)</p>
<p>Also, with the way my scoliosis was handled, I just really hate anything in regards to medicine (doctor suggested a brace when I was 10-12, mom said it would get in the way of school, played the “wait and see” game instead, got progressively worse, at 16 was told “surgery, wheelchair, or death, you choose,” mom objected to surgery claiming it was only “cosmetic,” now I’m having “cosmetic” back pain and my back cracks and clicks every five seconds).</p>
