Finding Support

[Tesuma]

Hi all,

So i struggle confiding in people, dont have any really trustworthy friends, cant burden my family with things and feel uncomfortable talking to therapists (I have broken off with around 6 therapists in the last few months because i just cant do it). I need to talk to someone about my thoughts and worries, i fell myself slipping into an eating disorder aswell, but i dont know who i can talk to. I am still at school, and most people have no idea whats going on, but internally i am screaming for someone to help me. But when someone offers help, i reject it. How can i get over this? or any ideas of who i can talk to? I dont want to keep it in anymore.

Thanks...

I'm not a doctor, and I'm only saying what I think. So take what I say for what it is, just my opinion.:shy: From what I've read I'd say you don't seem quite ready for help, Yet...

I waited 30 years to finally spill my guts about my past and how it was eating me up inside. When I finally said enough is enough I set up an appt with a therapist and spilled my guts in the first session. :eek::nailbiting: Then I went back again and again and again and continue to go still to this day. (A whole year later) :happy:

You see, YOU HAVE TO BE MENTALLY READY or it will never work. You have to hit your ROCK BOTTOM, whatever your rock bottom is because everyone's I'd different. :sorry: You have to decide ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! Then no matter how scared you are, you go get help, you open up, you accept the help offered, and you fight with everything in you to get your life back!! :angelic::tup:;)

WHY... BECAUSE YOU ARE WORTH IT, YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING, :tup:YOU MAKE THE PLANET A BETTER PLACE, YOU ARE ONE OF THE MANY PIECES OF THE PUZZLE CALLED LIFE,;) AND WITHOUT YOU OUR PUZZLE WOULD BE INCOMPLETE !! :tup:;):)

I hope soon your brain says, that's it, I've had enough and I REALLY want / need help this time. Then I hope you find someone who can help you to heal. Good luck on your journey and know that I am cheering for you every step of the way!!

I think you should push yourself forward.

What if rock bottom comes many decades from now?

It will be a much wasted life if you wait to hit rock bottom before reaching out for help.

What if you never hit rock bottom?

Even worse

Push yourself; take a leap of faith. Reach out for help and accept whatever help is given to you.

I don't think you want a wasted life where you live out the rest of your days just as you are now.

Do you see the same T?

 

[Hitej]

Yes, I've seen the same one the whole time. I have been seeing her less and less as time goes on, as I make more progress.

Also I'm not saying to wait until you hit rock bottom, I'm saying that YOU HAVE TO BE READY, that's the bottom line. It doesn't matter what others say if you aren't ready to make the leap. BOTTOM LINE IS YOU NEED TO MAKE THE CHOICE AND DO THE WORK. We can support the choice though. :tup:;):):hug:

Oh okay. Reason I ask is because of my struggle to cope with termination of my sessions due to it only being 6 weeks…

I just want to say that I did NOT waste my life at all. I have wonderful life thank you very much. I met a wonderful man, got married, had 2 beautiful children, have an awesome job, and do many wonderful things for many people. My trauma was just always in the back of my mind waiting for its time to hijack me.

They terminate after 6 weeks!? That sucks!

Well yeah… i was on low intensity CBT. Didn't discuss continuation in last session. Then after leaving I felt really bad and so on.

It was only 6 weeks due to the nature of the service as a first timer. First point of call was 6 weeks.

I do apologise for speaking about my issues, I don't mean to go off topic but your post did make me reply

No that's fine, in the states when diagnosed with PTSD they have to give services as long as deemed necessary. I have pretty good insurance (after the $3,000. Out of pocket that is)

Must I say this wasn't really my first time using the mental health services here in the UK , but one to one CBT it was first time.

I came upon this fantastic forum since finding a topic related to my "query" and then posted a thread and had amazing feedback.

Plus I hope to help other people too by sharing what I feel…

As the service I'm in isn't "private" the choice I have of having the same T seems to be very low.

Wasn't talking to you so no need to get defensive.


Whomever is screaming in all caps, I don't know who you are on the forum but I have a hunch, and I just want to let you know that screaming causes people to use the ignore function. Just an FYI. Screaming at PTSD people puts some of us on edge.
