Decided that I needed to get more help. Talk therapy alone wasn't enough and I was still spiraling into a deep depression and becoming very suicidal again. I have an appt w a psychiatrist this week and am supposed to try a DBT group. I'm also supposed to meet with a somatic experience therapist...
Painting, baking all sorts of different and challenging things, my next challenge is sourdough and bagels, drawing, gaming, writing, music, this is all pending I can focus and let myself be imperfect
My puppers made me happy today! I have 2.5 dachshunds (one is a mix) and they are all a nuts and have laws that smell like Fritos. They were extra cuddly today bc of the rain.
That's a good way to look at it. I was told my disability claim will get denied right away and then I'll have to appeal and it'll be even harder bc I'm younger.
I think I am also in denial about my own changes on the last year and a half. A year and a half ago I got my masters degree and things...
I let her know some of how I felt, I think I'm starting to realize more of it. My initial reaction and I still feel this way is that I want to take a break from therapy if things are so bleak. Not forever, just awhile. I expressed that and she said I'm running away from something. I guess I...
I will start.
Movie: Hidden Figures. Highly recommend.
Tv series: Bates Motel: I am strangely intrigued by it. Perhaps it makes me feel better about my life lol.
I'm not sure if this is the correct sub for this so I apologize in advance.
My therapist gave me a copy of my clinical summary she wrote for my disability application, she warned me it would be bleak, have triggers and that she could see it triggering me to go to the hospital. I don't feel that...
Yes, this has happened to me quite a bit and I am starting to piece things together the more I talk about it out loud. Also my family, dad specifically is great at gaslighting so that really complicates things. It really sucks and sorry you have to go through it.
I just saw this, sorry for the delayed reply. Thank you for your kind words. I hope it does get better, I feel I'm just now starting to realize and deal w trauma instead of shoving it away, I feel i will be in therapy forever. Seems overwhelming.
Thank you, I appreciate this. My therapist is pushing to do more intense trauma work and then mentioned TMS for depression as mine hasn't responded to several drugs and therapy, I have a lot of fear (obviously), a lot more than I realized and I'm not sure where it all comes from, just feeling...
I just feel like I don't have many redeeming qualities. I struggle w relationships, borderline traits, depression...I have no idea who I am without mental illness as an identity.
