Problems with therapist

Problems with therapist

Good morning all,

I'm scared to lose my therapist. I've attempted suicide a couple of months ago, my second attempt, and I just can't shake the feeling that I 'broke' somthing with my therapist. I don't know how to describe it and I don't know how to communicate it anymore. It doesn't help not being able to see my therapist in person since my attempt due to Covid. I'm getting a lot of feelings that I 'just have to get on with it', that I 'just have to toughen up'... pretty much how I've dealt with it all my life. I'm numb all the time now, I often feel dead inside.

I don't know what to do.

@Former-Member, I understand the fear of lossing your therapist, because I have the same fear. Every time I attempt to leave this world I feel like I am pushing her away. I also struggle with no seeing her I person because of covid.

I am sorry you are feeling numb and dead inside at the moment. Try to keep talking to your therapist, just do your best moment to moment. Look for little things that might bring some joy to your day.

Re: Problems with therapist

Thank you Iris.

Thank you @Former-Member I’m sorry you’re feeling the same. Does it get better?

I will try to ‘repair’ what I can. I’m just feeling so alone and I know I’m not alone. I guess I feel like that a lot. I don’t know what to feel or I feel too much and I don’t know what to say and it’s all really confusing. I hope Telehealth is over soon.

Re: Problems with therapist

@Former-Member , I can't tell you if it gets better love because I haven't seen that yet. But I do know that we just have to work with what we got. I have just finished a session with her over the phone and the whole time I was scared that she was going to tell me she couldn't help me anymore. I think maybe it's just a fear and the anxiety we have makes us feel like this. Sorry honey I am babbling.

Please be safe
