Not Coping

mine was perfect! @Birdofparadise8

I've been trusting an array of health care professionals for some time now, but I've never had such faith in effective support as I have with my new psyche. 🙏

I'm still rollercoasting,..from high anxiety to deep depression: but I look forward to my next appointment.

And as I look at my support network as a whole, I have to remind myself to be grateful and keep trying... The fact that I can even have a thought like that able to come thru all the noise of my emotions tells me I must be making some improvement already...

Know what I mean?

It's a strange technique and sounds a bit absurd but it's helpful @Birdofparadise8

I'm beginning to like your psych more and more lol! The fact that he points out every time you laugh. He sounds so straight to the point. I like it 🙂

hahah that's funny @tyme

He did every time. He was like why is that funny or why are you doing that. Why are you holding back, why are you defensive, why are you on edge, why are you so closed off, why can't you let yourself feel when you're with others and so on. It was a lot.

That's good to hear @Kyle1

I'm really happy for you.

That's intense, but I think it helps you question your own behaviours and reflect on really why you are doing what you do. I can see where he is coming from. I really hope things work out with this psych. It sounds like the most effective you've had so far! @Birdofparadise8

@Kyle1 I like your attitude. It sounds tough, but good on your for pushing through.

Yeah more effective than the past six months, @tyme

I should have found him sooner.

It was very intense. I was so drained after, and it was for an hour and a half, as that's how he likes the first session.

@tyme oh yes, I do need to work on why I laugh when we are talking about deep things. I use it as a defense, but I'm not sure how to stop.

Yeah @outlander

How did you stop?

It is a bit of a problem around new people or difficult things.
