It likely depends on both the therapist and the person. I remember looking forward to therapy as a foolproof way to cease bingeing—and now, less than two months after my last therapist fired me after three sessions, my perception of therapy and therapists has been soured. That being said, I would never desire to convince…

Thank you for all of your responses. I was able to reschedule my follow-up appointment from next Friday to Monday so as to sooner unravel this mystery. I am not pregnant, thank goodness! XD My physician didn't think mono was the cause, but it can't hurt to bring it up again, along with possible CFS. My fatigue feels much…
