I miss my therapist

[fallen_leaf]

Summer has messed up my schedule. The girls are out of school and it’s too expensive to pay for babysitting and therapist. Plus they have their summer activities. I don’t have anyone to talk to otherwise. Some friends who are just as busy or not close enough to really tell what is bugging me and it’s a lot. I wish it was like when I was little and had a best friend who I would talk to everyday going over every little minutiae of my day. Now I got to pay someone to listen and give advice..

I totally understand somehow, my parents didnt want to finance my theraoy sessions so its a bit hard to suffer panic and anxiety attacks without having any support or someone to talk to .. , if you need anything to talk about im all ears , good luck with everything and i wish you the best

What about free support groups in your area? Could you go to those?

[Kevin160 in reply to fallen_leaf]

There isnt any honestly, and my family are no where near supportive and the last thing i want is for them to keep treating me like im little just because im weaker mentally than others.

[fallen_leaf in reply to Kevin160]

My family didn’t understand when I was young. I was in college when I was diagnosed. I had student health insurance through the college and started therapy and medications then and then off and on after depending on my own health insurance through work. This is a good place to talk with people and sometimes you connect with someone on one on one. I’m here for you too like you said for me.

I saw on your profile you suffer from low blood pressure and get dizzy sometimes when you stand too quickly. I have the same problem and still not sure how to get rid of it.

[Kevin160 in reply to fallen_leaf]

To me it always bothered before even developing anxiety and panic attacks, but it worsened after i started using breathing techniques and ways to keep my self calm , i guess it lowered my blood pressure more, or it caused an imbalance of some nutrients because that is some of thenresponses i have gotten here that could wxplain why is this happening

As for myself Kevin, I have noticed my b/p does go down

after deep breathing. x

Lately I’ve been trying to drink more water using this app called plant nanny and I think drinking or trying to drink suffient water helps. I think it may be due to an imbalance of nutrients too. Trying to figure out which ones I need

[Agora1 in reply to fallen_leaf]

You are right fallen leaf in that hydrating is very important in keeping blood pressure stable as well as eliminating some of the heart palps. Thanks for sharing xx

I feel for you! I am in the same situation. First, my therapist moved away. Then, I found someone new but, my babysitter moved away! I only got three sessions and haven’t been able to go back. I feel so alone too! No one to talk to really, besides my husband. It’s hard. Hopefully, we can return to therapy soon!

[fallen_leaf in reply to Jvicks]

I can’t even talk to my husband. You are lucky there

[Agora1 in reply to fallen_leaf]

fallen leaf, you need that "me time". You can't hold all the emotions in. Talking

and sharing can help. Know that we are always here to listen when you need a

shoulder to lean on. xx
