sad&stuck

Major depression & social anxiety have been ruling my life and I feel so stuck. Lack of motivation, emotional overeating, loneliness..(my partner works nights and sleeps during the day, i have no friends & my family are either away or busy and I feel like I don't want to bother them) feelings of being worthless and hopeless, racing thoughts... I'm tired. And sad. No medication is helping and I have a support team around me (psychologist, psychiatrist, gp, mental health support worker) but I can't help but think why bother. Ive been holding on for so long and it doesn't seem to be getting better. I feel like there's only so much distracting I can do. Sorry, you probably don't want to read my depressing s*&t but thanks if you do.

Re: sad&stuck

Hi @STORMGRL101,

i just wanted to share my experiences with meeting the DBT psychologist to see if it helps ease your mind. I didn't have to share my story at all. It was mostly asking questions about things like whether you SH and how often, how you deal with abandonment, if you have strong emotions, if you dissociate and things like that. It was more of a checklist to make sure that DBT will help and suit you. the psychologist I saw was lovely and put me at ease. I didn't have to tell her things if I was feeling insecure about them and I can't remember finding anything too triggering. I hope this helps you and that this is what happens for you too. I was very nervous going in but it was ok. I'm 4 weeks into DBT now. I have a lovely group and it's going well. I wish you the very best for tomorrow. 💜🤗💐

Re: sad&stuck

Appointment went horribly. She didn't seem to know anything about me and obviously didn't get the notes from my care coordinator. I was upset and finding it hard to talk and she was asking why I came to see her and if I actually want to be there. Yes I said. I need help. I've been told DBT is the best treatment for me. She said I'm not ready for skills group. I am seeing her again in 3 weeks so hopefully it will be better then but now I'm feeling so upset and still have to go to my neuro therapy appointment now

Feeling low & emotional tonight. Feeling discouraged from the appointment this morning. 😢 Trying to think of good things... puppies, my holiday on Monday, bunnies, my nephew.... Is this all my life is about...distractions... I'm tired of it. I'm sick of struggling.
