They aren't meant for me per say but if they were open and I was gone and they need to put me somewhere that's where I would end up. So guess its not like its truly mine and I could sell it type though. It's just a matter of if I am gone it would be o shit no what and then the lights would...
So I am not suicidal, I have been this last week though (seeing my therapist 2-3 times a week) but that's not why I am asking this question. During my suicidal crisis last week the realization that if I were to be successful in harming myself I would be buried by my brother (the abuser) hit me...
I havent been suicidal in over a year and the lastbtime it happened was the same time last year. It the holidays and hunting season which my brother aka the person who abused me loved and also the time of year that he passed away. I have also just recently changed meds and it seems To have made...
The therapist I've seen for just about 5 yrs wants me to see someone else to work on EMDR therapy. I am so nervous about this, as he says that seeing a new therapist would mean I would no longer see him. I try to be tough and act like that doesn't bother me but feeling really upset over not...
Not sure what has been going on lately. I don't know if I should be worried but lately I am afraid to talk to people sometime do to the fact I don't know if the event actually happened or if the event just happened in my dreams. In other words I am not sure if I actually talked to these people...
Not sure what is going on, I wasn't even concerned of a mass being found as its basically the nipple and area around it that's causing the pain and inflammation and redness. Not breast feeding or anything like that, I went in just expecting her to look at them and say oh you have an infection...
Before the doctor looked at me she asked if I had been abused and obviously I knew going in I would have to have a breast exam. I was prepared for that and although was having some anxiety I knew I had coping skills I could use to help me. So then as she starts the exam she says I see you have...
Sorry didn't explain good yes they are just dismissing me because I have been abused. Just because I don't have a lump in my breast that she can feels means nothing is wrong even though I have redness and swelling and lots of pain apparently.
I have no idea how or why the provider is connecting my breast pain to abuse.
I know doctors are mandatory reporters but no my abuser has passed away five years ago and hasnt abused me in about ten years. It seems like she saw ptsd in my chart and just wham this girl is messed in the head she...
Why does it seem like every time I go to the doctor for something they throw my symptoms back at me and say its from being abused. I could accidentally step on a nail and go in with it sticking out of my foot and the damn doctor would blame it on being abused. Just seems like every time I go...
What is best is to stay in therapy actually. I think... I don't know! It probably is but I am so frustrated with things. There isn't anything wrong with my therapist. Not sure what to do, I just feel stuck and afraid. Have been working on trauma related things and the more and more I work on...
So I want to quit therapy. I have decided that I just want to stop, so I cancelled all my appointments. Now my therapist calls me and he thinks I need to come in and discuss this. I don't want to I just want to move on, but he is insists that I should talk to him about being referred to...
Viibryd has worked very well for me, I have been taking it since July or so, my symptoms are still not great but overall this med is working good. I take 40mg a day I had to work up from 10 mg to the current dose, and as long as I take the medication I do well on it.
Its just I think I need...
I have been in therapy for nearly 2 years now and I am debating if I should continue or not. What I originally went for does seem to be a lot better, yet I know there is more to work on. I dont know what to do, continue or be done? Before I have wanted to quit but that was avoidance because I...
I had the same problems and my psychiatrist prescribed me Ritalin, it helps me to concentrate and focus a lot better than I was before I started the med.
My inital visit with my psychiatrist was over an hour long, he asked questions about why I was there, what I talked about with my therapist. What my medical history was, family history, legal history, what medications I had tried in the past when and how long I had been on them and reasons of...
I ask these questions because I am in therapy and they are things the therapist brings up to make me think about when I tell him yes I have thought about killing myself in the last week. He reminds me that my family/friends even HE would suffer and mourn if I was to kill myself. I feel as this...
But smoking, tanning and other life style choices increase your risk of cancer, which is a choice. No one wants to get cancer but some dont do anything to stop their increased risk. If I was to die of cancer why is that any different pain/suffering wise if I died of suicide. If I was to die...
After rereading this I guess I want to clarify that I am not asking for people to justify to kill myself or not, but just am curious as to what other people think. What others think of why I have to THINK about other people during my times of suicidal ideation, why I have to think about how...
If I want to kill myself or anyone else wants to what the big deal? Seriously besides the fact that it affects other people what's so wrong about killing yourself. I understand that most of the time wanting to or following through with suicidal ideation is the fact the person wants to end...
Thanks for the reply brat17, I to have had these thoughts last a lot longer than they did this time thankfully it wasn't to long this time. I am not good at figuring out what causes my emotions to fluctuate like they do-I do like the HALT acronym, and will have to use that.
So the last few days hadn't been very good, I had been contemplating killing myself. I am fine now, and that's most of my question how does this thought come and go so quickly. 2 days of suicidal thoughts doesn't go very fast for me it's hell on earth to get through this but how can I go from...
I now I had posted about this before, and didn't get much of a response so was trying again. The topic also is getting brought up more and more it seems in my therapy sessions so I wanted to see how it has went for people if they have had it done.
Has anyone went through or have any information on electroconvulsive therapy? My therapist is really pushing me to undergo ect therapy since I have tried atleast 9 different medications, and although some of them work to an extent, nothing seems to help enough.
I know it isn't as inhumane as...
