Happy Birthday and thank you for creating such a wonderful site. It has saved my sanity more than a few times.

I have consulted with a lawyer for something else and yes by all means bring all documents with you to the first meeting. By the way I had a friend falsely accused of domestic violence and the judge threw it out due to lack of evidence.

AA has a branch that is for friends and family called Al Anon. You might want to look up meetings in your area and attend a few. Perhaps people there could give you some helpful feedback and support.

I had the same thing happening to me my psychiatrist said I now fit the criteria for generalized anxiety disorder. maybe you do as well. with this new diagnosis I have now found a therapist that specializes in anxiety and not ptsd.

Prayers sent.

I think it depends on what type of break you want. I am taking a small break because of the holiday and being busy with that but will start again in January. It's one thing to take a break like that but to take a long term break and try to start a job without therapy is not a good idea. Have you...

Friday I just listed the reasons why other transportation won't work in this case. The bus doesn't go out there and my insurance won't provide enough rides. I can't afford uber. I just can't go. It's too far away. They have another location where I will do therapy but not an IOP program.

I could talk to my new therapist once I get her to do a family session or maybe my current psychiatrist.

Cashew I also have schizophrenia and he doesn't take that serious so why would he this? He just doesn't get it.

No he won't be willing to listen and honestly I don't know how to express myself. They have a closer location that does not offer the IOP but has phobia and anxiety therapists. So I will go to that instead.

I looked into that and my health insurance offers 8 free rides a year. I need 30 for the full program.

That's not why I posted though. I posted because my dad isn't supportive.

I called the hospital and they don't offer patient transportation. The buses don't go out there. It's a private clinic not an actual hospital so that's probably why.

I didn't know where to post this. I have been struggling a lot with depression and anxiety lately. I also have a phobia of driving since my car accident. Even leaving the house is hard for me. I decided I needed to get more help than what I am getting. My therapist just tells me, "well just...

Thinking about suicide passively and actually planning it and doing it or two different things. If he brings up something like that again you could ask if he is planning on hurting himself. I don't know what to tell you because sometimes people say things like that and don't actually want to do...

When I was first diagnosed with schizophrenia I was very shy with my psychiatrist. I didn't like going into detail about hallucinations because it was embarrassing. I wouldn't even mention them lots of time. One day I had had enough and wanted them to stop so I told him the truth. I started by...

He won't be annoyed with you. It takes some people years to feel comfortable enough with a therapist to share their trauma. You want to get the most out of your therapy and not waste time so it's good that you are bringing this stuff up. He can't help you properly unless he knows what is fully...

Once you say you are suicidal they won't let you leave until they feel you are ready. Even if you check yourself in.

If you are suicidal you will probably get treated inpatient first and then outpatient. You could look online to see hospital grades. That won't give you specific ratings on the programs but an overall view of the hospital or clinic.

I'm sorry you are feeling like this. One year I felt this way and I called up a local church that does a Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless and asked to volunteer. You might look into that. You could help prep the food all day, serve it in the evening, and clean up in the night. That being...

I don't mean to be rude but it seems like you are smothering him. Just reading that gave me the creeps. You said you do everything together, train, walk dogs, live together, so it's only natural he need some time to himself. I find people and especially guys go through these type of moods...

Why don't you just block him from your fb and block his calls?

No killing something won't make the PTSD go away. That's the short answer.

You sound like you are codependent and she sounds like she is borderline. You can't fix her she has to want to fix herself.

You can't do anything to stop someone else's drinking. He has to want to stop on his own. There are Al Anon support groups you can go to. Al Anon is a branch of AA that is especially for the family members of alcoholics.
