I was in therapy for anxiety and depression for a little over a year. At first, it was a very long process, but in the last six months I really began to feel better. I didn't know whether it was due to therapy or just positive things that were happening in my life. I ended therapy a little over a month ago. It was something I decided to do for a while, and my therapist and I knew two months in advance when I would end. As a started to get closer to that date I started to feel anxious. I didn't say anything to my therapist, because I thought this was a normal feeling and I should get over it. I didn't want to be in therapy too long, and I was afraid that I was becoming somewhat dependent on it. Now in the last three weeks I've become extremely anxious and somewhat depressed. My friends have been distant recently, and this has added to the stress. I keep telling myself that this is normal and I need to learn to deal with it on my own, but there is part of me that really wishes I could talk to my therapist about how I've been feeling. Should I consider going back to therapy? Was I already in therapy for longer than I should have been?
