Wanting support
Hi
Hi
What's going on for you
Feeling alone and sad
Is there anything particular that has triggered it?
Living in the pst. Need help. Am I talking to a man or a woman? It’s important to me to know
You are not responding. Why?
Hi sorry I had to do my meds.why do you need to know? It's just yeah
Just wanted to know. Why does it matter? Why are you hiding from me?
You are a woman and it’s ok
It matters because of what I am comfortable sharing. And I'm not hiding from you, as I said I has to go and do my meds.
Why not talk now?
I am talking to you now
I’m here
I'm not sure what you want me to do. I'm hear and I'm willing to listen.
You are not alone ....
Yes I know but why?
You don’t know me
Because you ask for support and you are on a support network.
Thank you
Your welcome
What’s your story?
Its very long and complicated and involves years of trying different things and trying to survive. I have moderate to high support needs. In terms of mental health I have been though the mental health system for years now.
Why can’t you tell me? I’m supposed to trust you
I don't know what you want me to tell you, as I will choose what Im comfortable to say. You can choose wether or not to trust me, I responded to your ask for help and it's your choice wether you would like to talk to me or not. If you cannot get support on here I would suggest contacting a helpline as there is nothing else I can do other than be willing to listen.
I understand and I’m sorry
Thank you thetealharp .... for being you and listening .... hope you have a blessed Sunday
U there?
U here?
My last try.. hello?
Hi sorry I was asleep and then at my lesson. Whats up.
Hello
Hi
Re you wanting to chat with me?
Hi, my name's Kathy, when I'm feeling anxious I call a girlfriend who I can talk to and laugh with, like a sponsor. Hope that helps.
Hi Laharris, we are kind of at a stalemate here in helping you. And that's okay.
Just to let you know that this is a safe site and once you feel more comfortable
we are only a message away. I'm glad you are here. xx
U there?
Hi Laharris, I'm on x
I don’t understand
Where are you?
I'm right here. May I help support you? x
Do you find life really hard?
Actually I don't Laharris. I take one day at a time,.
I use Meditation and gratitude for each day given me.
I've come a long way over the years to find myself.
Now, I want to share my success through this forum. x
I’m not there yet. It’s admirable where you are. I may never be there
I can’t seem to read your post I’m doing something wrong
You're doing nothing wrong. You responses are coming in clearly
I read your reply. I’m no where close to where you are in your life and I may never be
Laharris, first of all I didn't have all the issues that you are dealing with.
Mine were severe anxiety to the point of becoming Agoraphobic for 5 years.
Medication and therapy barely pulled me through for 30 years. I kept expecting
the pills and the therapy to cure me. When the medication no longer worked, I
had to find other resources to get myself through.
You are strong. I’m not.
This has nothing to do with being strong, believe me. I cried, I shook with fear just like anyone else. I asked myself what I was doing wrong and through researching everything I could get my hands on, I realized that I wasn't really going through the actions in going forward. I would walk into therapy and come out no better. I would pop my once a day pill and within hours was right back to square one.
Why?? The answer was because I wasn't changing anything in my life. I was looking
for that magic pill, that magic wand to get better.
If you'd like I could talk with you on Personal Message or we can continue on the forum. Whatever makes you more comfortable x
I know there is no magic pill. I’m receiving my disability now. I’m just trying to figure out what I’m supposed to do now
Unfortunately, I can only speak for Anxiety and Agoraphobia issues. I guess I've been
blessed in never having experience depression or other mental health issues.
From the Anxiety prospective, I would like to suggest reading a book by Dr. Claire Weekes' on "Hope & Help for Your Nerves" , it is also available on YouTube. Her
theory of accepting anxiety and not fighting it is what became the foundation to my success.
With Anxiety, it starts with a negative thought and if we start to fight it, it becomes stronger in our subconscious mind and ends up presenting with physical systems and
chronic behavior. Now because you have other issues being addressed at this time,
that could complicate matters. Since I am not a doctor or therapist, I can only go on my own experiences in dealing with anxiety. Are you under therapy right now? x
Will be mid March no worries
Laharris, oops...I just lost a long response that I wrote to you.
But basically I want to tell you to trust the opinions and experiences of other
on this forum. We all learn from each other as well as not feeling so alone.
I'm taking a break for dinner right now but will be back.
I'm sure others will come on to fill in all the gaps I left open to your questions.
Remember dear, we all care about each other. Talk later xx
Talk later
I don’t have messenger can I give you my phone number? I don’t do social media
Hi Laharris, I'm back from dinner..
I don't do social media either. The private messenger that I'm referring
to is here on this forum. At the top of the page, you will see CHAT, click
onto that and type in my name Agora1 and you can write me privately and
I can answer you privately. x
TY Ahora🌹
