Hi,
I'm not doing so well. Didn't have a good appointment with psychatrist today and because I am struggling, it is difficult for me to open up.

Hi @oceangirl
Sorry to hear you are not doing so well.
I too find it hard to open up to professionals, especially when I am not doing well.
Do you see a psychologist too?
Sitting with you hun 💕

For the first 10 years I had a lot of difficulty putting words together and speaking in therapy. I guess over time I got better so I cant shush up, but I remember long struggling silences well. SOme of that may because some i mportant deep issues are in that area where words are inadequate ... the preverbal and the spiritual.
Take Care and Stay Safe

Hi @oceangirl sorry you're having a rough day. I struggle to communicate too so can empathise. It can be so frustrating when the times you need to be able to open up most is when it's the hardest.
O hope you're evening gets better

Re: Checking In
I’m new to this forum and am also struggling . I have acute anxiety and am having trouble with regulating my emotions. I’m in a hyper aroused flight or fight state and had a particularly bad experience today when I fought with a neighbor

@ChelseaFox04 Welcome.
I’m sorry your anxiety was triggered today with your neighbor.
You are welcome to look around and join in any conversations.
The @ brings a dropdown, and is how we tag each other.
You might like to have a look at the Good morning thread, and meet a few others waking up later.
