Judy,
In a perfect world, I would also believe that I'm not made up by my illness, but the fact that I spend so much time in therapy, take meds 4 times a day, and spend a great deal of money on my mental health, makes it difficult to believe this from time to time.
I think it's great that you've gone three weeks without therapy, and as long as you're feeling stable and comfortable, I would encourage you to enjoy the holidays without worrying too much about therapy. For me, sometimes distraction is the greatest antidote to feeling depressed, though I try to be careful not to delude myself about how I'm actually feeling.
Good luck with your choice! I hope you have a great holiday season.
