I've been starting to think of myself as more and more well again. It's hard to say what causes what, but thinking of yourself as well and actually doing well seem to go hand in hand.
This is part of the reason, I think, why my therapist's suggestion that I take antidepressants bothered me. Admittedly, I tell him all the ways in which I am not doing well--all the ways in which I am failing to appropriately manage my anxiety. But it's somewhat discouraging to overall feel better than I have in months and be told that I'm still not well enough.
But I am in charge of whether or not I think that I am well, not my therapist.
