Reached out/Started Therapy

LittleNewportPisces profile image

I decided after getting so drunk one night from wanting to take my sadness away and throwing up and passing out in someone's bathtub, it's time to reach out and get some therapy.. but sadly, my therapy place doesn't give "homework" medications or any tips, they just go to listen, so it feels like it's not helping at all, but my therapist is sweet and nice and even offered to pay for uber if i couldn't get a ride to my therapy appointments. What do I do..? *worried*

LittleNewportPisces, I am so glad you found this supportive and caring forum.

Together with your counseling you may be able to put back the pieces of your young

life. I am sorry your mother is so ill and I can only imagine how that has affected

your choices. But as you found out, alcohol was not the escape you were looking

for. It sounds like you found a caring therapist. We are not doctors or professional

counselors however hopefully reading about our own lifetime experiences may help

guide you some. As for medication, is it possible your Family Doctor may be able to

help?

You took the first most important step when you chose to seek counseling. I hope

you will consider this your safe place to come to when you need others to care.

I'm glad you found us Pisces :) xx
