I am getting help for the same three things...it's best to be completely honest so u can get the help you really need. As for medication do your own research and don't let them push meds on you if you are not comfortable with taking them.

Really How was it and was it Helpful ? and may i ask Do you have ptsd and if you have what caused it ?

I have been in and out of therapy for many years, and i find it very helpful. I just never stuck with it long enough to face my deep rooted issues. I am just now getting back into it and looking forward to it helping me this time since I feel the worst I ever have. My therapist does believe that I am suffering from PTSD due to my childhood (my father was very violent), and from being in Iraq.
