I’ve been seeing a therapist, dietician and psych for the past 7 months (the same dietician throughout the 7 months...switched therapists early on, and just gained the psych doc about 5 months ago). I’ve definitely made gains, but the past two weeks I have had such high anxiety, awful sleep...

Thanks for the responses-my psych actually said to try 7.5 and then 10 if needed...but to make sure I’m eating, therapy, etc. Ugh.

They’re 5mg. First time I tried 2.5. Second time I tried 5. Still felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin.

I was recently prescribed Valium...I didn’t even want to take it, but a few days ago my anxiety was super high, and my panic. So, I took one. It didn’t seem to help at all. Is that really weird or abnormal? I tried one again yesterday-same thing. Did not get any relief.

So sorry you’re also feeling this way. Please contact your T-if only just to ask how to handle such a situation...you don’t necessarily need to tell her that you’re currently in the situation if you’re not comfortable with that yet.

@Friday Thank you, thank you, thank you. Makes so much sense.

Ronin-there probably are. I didn’t consider that because she was asking for actual names of people ? afterwards I emailed and said-in all honesty, I’m not likely to call anyone. Maybe email. But usually I isolate when things get really tough.

Hey all-I started therapy for PTSD about 6 months ago. Childhood stuff camenup (seemingly out of nowhere). Anyway, just this week I was asked to set up a plan of who I would contact if my anxiety level gets to an 8-10. Honestly, I doubt I’d tell anyone. It’s been there before, and I couldn’t...

Abstract-yeah...I can see how I am using email to avoid actually trusting her and her reactions and responses....

Honestly, it seems like a waste of time and money to stay with your current therapist. Try thinking towards the future and what you need-not back towards what you have already invested in. I do not have much experience with this at all, but I would hope someone would give me similar advice if I...

Friday-yessssss! Makes so much sense, and good to know it’s not just me.

I was diagnosed with PTSD after my first therapy appointment with a psych. ??‍♀️ Unfortunately, that psych didn’t really work out for me...I have no clue what her method was (I’d never seen any therapist before), but her telling me over and over that things weren’t my fault didn’t really help...

Thank you piratelady! I actually tried to reschedule my appointment earlier this week and then told her I could make it as scheduled. Then said during the appointment I just didn’t want to be there. ??‍♀️??‍♀️ It seems ridiculous how terrified I am.

So, after emailing my therapist, she did email me back. And now I feel like I need space and distance from her-like I have said too much and just want to run. Is this normal? To freak out about someone knowing too much?

Ugh. Yes. Connecting the dots sucks. There’s no other way to say it. Sometimes I feel like I’m climbing my way out of that deep dark hole, and then a flashback hits, or a connection is made, and I’m thrown back to the bottom of it.

I just emailed her-thank you. I hate letting people know when I’m having a rough day and guess that was holding me back.

Hey everyone-first time poster, a few month lingerer. I started therapy (for the first time ever) back in February-met with that therapist 4 times and decided it wasn’t working. Met a new therapist in April and have been seeing her weekly since then (except for a couple of times we’ve had 2-3...
