The Hip Thing

"Were my friends right? Had I crossed the line from pleasantly neurotic to annoyingly troubled?"
~Carrie, Sex and the City

That pretty much sums up how I feel. Annoyingly troubled. In this episode, Carrie's friends try to get her to go see a shrink. She says she thinks it's self indulgent. I saw a lot of myself in what she said.

The truth is, I know I'm "annoyingly troubled." So much so, that I annoy myself. I'd like to cross back over. To be in control. I've been taking the steps, but I guess they take time.

As for therapists, I recommend them. My sister once said something similar to what they said on the show. When Carrie argues that there is no point in paying a therapist when you could talk to friends then go out for a drink afterwards, Samantha points out they they all have problems and it's like "the blind leading the blind." So true.

Plus, an objective ear is always good. I'm sure even after my Tech treatment is over, I'll continue somewhere else. So yes, I'm one of "those" people, the ones with a therapist. It's the hip thing to do, right?
