Please tell me the truth.

Hi @Eden1919 good to hear from you. My belief is that your psychiatrist has your best interests at heart. In my experience it is very hard to shock or supprise a psychiatrist and honesty is the best policy. Thinking of you. Take care.

Good to see you @Eden1919

Maybe try and find a way that is truthful but includes self acceptance.

Hello my sweet @Eden1919. So good to hear from you my friend. Yes - most definitely tell your psychiatrist as it is very important to be open and honest with him as I know you will be. He would find it helpful and appreciate you for it. Thinking of you and sending a warm hug. 🤗💐

@Eden1919

I'm not sure. Psychic hey... there is a demon in everyone. I am not in the best mindset at the moment myself so probably better to talk with others...

That sounds rough @Eden1919 Did you end up talking to your psychiatrist? Just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you.

It is really hard and draining when our anxiety gets to the stage where it is taking over our thoughts and our lives - which is happening to you right now my dear @Eden1919. It makes us disorientated and a mess - it makes it very hard to cope with life. It can be debilitating. But it is not hopeless my friend. It is treatable and can be controlled.

I was thinking along the same lines as the lovely @frog. Have you told your psychiatrist how you are feeling, what you are telling us? That's the next step.

You are not alone @Eden1919 - you matter. And we are here for you doing the best we can to support you because "you are worthy". xx

I have felt the someone watching feeling ... and often referred that to a higher spirit or power or god as I was raised by a strongly religious mother. Mostly I have "talked with" that spiritual sense ... in my imagination.

I was lucky in that I did not feel it as a threat. I am saddened that you suffer in this way. Sending you healing vibrations and wishes.

The feelings around wanting to self harm ... to me are partly about pressure ... whether it is life putting pressure on you or a person ... or your own dreams and ideals. To manage those feelings I do calm things like breathing and meditation .. but sometimes active things like walking very fast or being physical in the garden.

@Eden1919 I dont know your doctor, but therapy does work best when there is honest communication. Being isolated can seem like protection sometimes but it is harder to break through that isolation and make genuine connections with people.

Take Care
