<p>I would rather have the psychologist help me forget my past, but I am not sure psychologists can do that.</p>
<p>You could forget your past, OR you could learn to accept that it happened, move on, and grow from it. Instead of continuing to be the kid who was picked on, become the adult who was picked on as a kid. See the difference?</p>
<p>I think it’s extremely counterproductive for people to suggest that anyone “needs” drug therapy, especially with “desperately” and “a lot of” as qualifiers. I would recommend seeing a psychologist just to talk about the problem, maybe agree on a plan to work towards normal happiness again, and THEN explore the possibility that drug treatment might be the best option. Drugs should always be a last resort… Drug/insurance companies and psychiatrists have really done the world a disservice, IMO.</p>
<p>^ It’s far easier said than done. There’s a reason why such a huge network of help exists for such things. Willpower alone rarely if ever erases it like it does in the movies or whatever. For example, ask child abuse victims to just “forget about it and move on” and see how much success that brings.</p>

Yeah, I said “you could forget your past,” like it was an option… It’s not. Sorry for the confusion.</p>
