Do you use therapy or other methods to cope with CKD?

I have been in and out of therapy with a renal psychiatrist over the years to help with learning to cope with CKD, the anxiety behind it, and learning tools for dealing with my chest line for dialysis at the time; I always ended the sessions, and now I am thinking of going back. How are you coping with CKD? Is therapy something that can help you, or is it helping?
