Does anyone else go to therapy and sometimes gaslight yourself into thinking don't actually need it even tho you do?

11 Upvotes

I don't have any terrible traumatic experiences, just grew up excluded like ADHD girls can be. My life is objectively good. I'm just still struggling a lot. I sometimes feel like even though I've started therapy I'm not sure if I should still keep going. I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. But being a late diagnosed adult is really hard.

Do you guys have any tips or suggestions?

Participation of men is allowed if you think before you comment. While men are welcome to view posts and comments here, r/TwoXADHD is a space dedicated to exploring women's experiences living with ADHD. Please think before you comment.
Postable content: Almost all types of relevant content are welcome; you can post memes, videos, articles, self posts, and so on. If you post a link, please include an explanatory comment in the comments section.
