Ugh

[WyoNurse]

Feel like I’m on a constant emotional roller coaster!!! I have a good day, then a shitty day, I’m happy, I’m sad, I’m pissy, I’m exhausted......just a hot mess! Don’t feel like I’m ever going to balance out. I’ve been going to therapy for 6 weeks and I don’t see an end in sight!

Unfortunately, living with A & D is a "3 steps forward, 2 steps backward" kind of deal. A good friend of mine is a psych nurse, and he says this is very common with his patients. I know it's horrible, and you want to get it behind you forever. I sure do! But apparently it just doesn't work that way.

Have you expressed these concerns to your therapist?

[Emsnavvv]

I feel the same way!!! It's so frustrating and no one seems to know what to do, including us! I hate it!!! I'm sorry you're going through this!

Hi if you think how long it took for you to feel this way then 6 weeks of therapy is nothing and it's much too soon to expect anything to change. You are doing all the right things so persevere and change will come slowly but surely. x

I thought of that after I posted....the realization that I’m expecting instant gratification! Not likely to happen that way, but dang it’s tough when you have such an A1 day and then can’t get off the couch for the next 20 hours!!!

[hypercat54 in reply to WyoNurse]

Yep sure is. But would you have had such a good day without therapy in the first place? x

Hi.

I know how you feel believe me. I sometimes wish I can get off this ride. 1 day I can cope with anything the next day I wish there was a big hole that can swallow me up. Think it could be the meds I'm on . As for this year so far so glad 6 months have gone already. But enough about me. Please don't give up on life. I know sometimes it feels shit but you need to fight this even if it means getting pissed if it makes you happy for a while then do it. I know I do . If you ever want to let of steam just text me on this page. I'm a very good listener and if I can give you any advice all the better.

Take care.
