Please help

@Anonymous I have one. Met with her Thursday.

@Catlove9 Does that help you?

@Catlove9 How did it go ? I also have scheduled my first session coming Thursday and I feel I can’t wait because I see the last few days my thoughts get more and more difficult to deal with .

@Johny Gkotsis I’m sorry. Therapy isn’t easy but I know it’s necessary. Mine just wants me to keep taking risks and keep pressing forward.

@Anonymous Hi Ryon! I like mine. She just tells me I need to keep going and take the risk

@Anonymous Of course not. I’ve had this my whole life. I’ll be 37 in a few weeks. So I’m very open about talking.

@Anonymous Happy early birthday! I’m Nov 3. So right around the corner. I understand that. What themes do you suffer with?

@Anonymous Oh sorry! Typo. Nov 4. Scarlet! I am not from Iowa.

@Anonymous I’ve had mine since childhood as well. I’ve had periods where it wasn’t so bad. But I’m having a horrible time of it right now.

@Fish1970 Somewhat. No one understands exactly what I go through. But they are supportive. I just hate this. It feels so real. I don’t feel like me anymore.

@Fish1970 Do you have any support at home?

@Fish1970 I’m really open about it with people at work and stuff.

@Speckles Hi Speckles! I’m so happy the meds are helping! I am not on anything. It feels today like this is never going to get better.

@Catlove9 It will!! Can you try Medication?

@Speckles I have before. Maybe I should try something different. Today it just felt like literally every theme came at me. It felt so different.

@Catlove9 I'm sorry... it really stinks. I'm on Anafranil and another med for bipolar. Maybe you just need another one. I'm not trying to push meds, but if it works it's worth it

@Speckles I agree. I’m so so so happy you’re feeling better. That is really awesome!

@Catlove9 Pet one of your cats!! 🙀

@Catlove9 Thanks.... finally after all this struggling

@Speckles That’s a good idea! It just feels so real.

@Catlove9 It really does feel so real, but remember it's fake

@Speckles Have you ever had it where it felt different this time?

@Catlove9 Just felt so bad that I could hardly shower

@Speckles Today feels like I’m losing my mind. And each thing I look at, triggers a thought or feeling

@Catlove9 Ugh... I hear you. I was like that

@Speckles And also like I’m trying to nap but I keep having like half thoughts. It’s so weird. And then in the next moment can’t remember them.

@Catlove9 Yeah, I know what you mean. I've had that

@Speckles Today is the worst day in a very long time.

@Catlove9 I'm so sorry... is there anything you can do to take your mind off it? Even if it's like 15 min.

@Speckles I tried watching funny videos but it just feels like I’m lying to myself

@Catlove9 I know that feeling all too well also. The cats make you happy tho!

@Speckles They do! They are my life.

@Catlove9 I want so bad to get another cat. My husband is still grieving our cat. I am too, but want one

@Speckles Would your husband be open?

@Catlove9 He's not right now

@Speckles Have you thought about volunteering at a cat shelter? I did that and loved it.

@Catlove9 Thanks...I have and I might do that.

@Speckles I hope you do! Let me know

@Catlove9 I will! Probably in the new year

@Fish1970 That helps me sometimes too. Have you ever had good periods?

@Fish1970 Have you coped with it?

@Fish1970 I need to try something!

@Fish1970 It’s good to know you’re not alone 🙂

@Fish1970 Thank you! You too!
