My friend has noticed that I've been getting worse and feels really close to wanting to call an ambulance. I don't blame her and I am well aware that talking to her about this stuff is not correct. I don't want to, but she insists and I get so desperate to talk about it somewhere that I end up...

I'm not always social in the sense of talking to them. I can't do that anyways because I get overwhelmed by talking to too many people or spending so much time with people. I need my time alone and I enjoy it, but I'm really worried about the lack of physical interaction with my friend mainly...

I was initially unsure where to put this. I thought I'd put it under relationships, then depression, but I concluded anxiety may be better as I am really concerned that I will legitimately lose my mind and I don't know if that's part of one of my anxieties.. I believe it to be true and I believe...

I am really feeling like I want to stop it or find some drug that can help counteract these side effects, but I doubt it. I don't feel like myself. I already see about 60%-70% of things in an objective point of view and sometimes I can have a bit of control over that by taking my emotions out of...

Last week on Friday I started a new pill called Nortriptyline. Not for my depression but for my constant headaches and body pains. I've noticed many things. In the first two days I noticed my appetite was crazy and I was super drowsy. After those initial two days my appetite went back to...

For those that have seen my multiple threads you'll know about my relationship with my friend. She is an amazing friend. I've been told by multiple people different things, to have her leave me alone, to leave her alone, to not leave her at all.. In the past I have tried to put distance...

She's going to write the letters to me so to follow confidentiality and she told me I can use them however.. For medication, she says she can sign a release form if needed. The letter is not for medication, is for other treatment options(such as a recommendation) that she's planning on...

The letters are not like an actual documentation, as far as I know. It's simply a letter that will state something like, "After working with____ I believe that _____ would benefit from this sort of treatment." and/or "_____ has expressed interest in medication. I____ believe she would...

I am okay with waiting for the letters. The main things that I don't really like about my therapist is how she talks when my parents are mentioned because she talks as if what I speak of isn't true, or she thinks my parents have changed or can. My parents have been the way they have for all my...

I'm sorry I don't always know how to reply to your messages/replies, but I do read them and I calm down reading a message like that. Thank you for taking the time. I agree with you completely and I understand that it's not a one size fits all kind of thing. I'm willing to stick with it and try...

Yup. My humour is dark and dry. I don't have many fans and only two other people I can laugh with about all of my jokes, not all are about me but they come out just as smooth haha.

My friend suggested again today that I should change therapists. It's been a week since my therapist said she'd write letters to me for if I need them for school or to go to a doctor. All that. I told her that I will try and get medication and stick with it for a bit longer, but I asked why...

I knew that starting therapy things would come back or worsen, but I didn't know it was a typical thing for PTSD. Now thinking back my therapist kept saying, "Oh it's normal with people in your situation," "This is normal," and to me it felt like she wasn't understanding my fear or worries, but...

That sounds like a good idea that I will bring up to my therapist. Maybe she'll be able to help me find resources that are a bit more in my "comfort zone"?

Yes. My friend suggested it and at the time I was unsure of what to think and was hesitant to say she could. I'm worried of what she might say to my therapist too (in the sense of tone). Now that I've given it a few days to think about, I really wouldn't want my friend to be there. I think she...

Outpatient work is preferable but I also have a busy schedule that needs to stay somewhat flexible for my work.. Do you have an idea how outpatient work would be like? I considered group therapy for a while mainly to connect with others and get social interaction into there.. but it never...

This is very possible, that this may be due to stress. For the past few months my depression has been getting worse and especially in this month and so it may be due to that. I will mention them to my therapist.. I will look this up, thank you!

For some time now my dreams are either nightmares or very offsetting. My dreams have always been vivid and graphic, so they can be super pretty and very detailed.. this works against me when it's a nightmare. Night after night I've been having dreams that revolve around death, loss, and...

You're right, I forgot that my therapist did. Yes that's the plan and I was able to remind my therapist about it yesterday so she'll be sending me links.. I know I bring up my friend a lot on here and it's mainly because if she brings something up and I'm unsure, I go on here to try and get...

No I haven't, but I will look it up. :) I have tried to not tell my friend what happens in therapy.. in the beginning I told her because she wanted to make sure I was bringing up the right topics and that the therapist was a right fit. Then it ceased and I would simply tell my friend, "It was...

I'm not lying to my therapist. I do tell her when I'm feeling depressed and I tell her when I'm getting suicidal, but it's difficult for me to make my tone and body language match my serious topic.. I just can't do it. It's natural, for me, to appear calm and collected as a front because that's...

My friend has mentioned this to me before, in the past, and I think I've thought about it myself. I'm not sure and I guess I kind of feel bad about it. I guess there were some red flags I consciously ignored because I was so desperate to get whatever help I could get. Before I say anything I...

I get chatter as well! I sometimes will also hear words or lines that I've heard somewhere else whether it be from a familiar person, t.v. show, etc. I've also heard things that my friend would never say but it's in her voice. I do have sleeping issues, but I don't think it's so bad as...

I don't know. I can't afford it which is one excuse and at the moment I'm doing a job that I love. My dream job, just about and I know I'll feel worse going in. I'm trying to hang on until I get medication before doing any more.. I think so too, but she says if she really can't stay awake then...

I mentioned it to her today, but she doesn't seem too happy. Especially after last night. She said she doesn't know what to say but still believes I need to learn how to rely on her and communicate/commit. When I told her that I didn't want to be an unhealthy, toxics friend she got upset and...
