Lonely

[colyad]

I have been so lonely. My mental health has suffered a great deal recently. I don't have any friends I can call to talk about this to. I'm about to go into an outpatient therapy for two weeks. In the meantime, I just need someone to chat with. Anyone interested in chatting?

Welcome colyad to a safe and supportive site.

I wish you well in going into outpatient therapy.

Make those 2 weeks a time just for you. Take in everything

they say. When you are through, apply what you've learned

into your daily calendar. May this program be a step forward

for you. I'm happy you are with us as well. xx

Thank you so much for the kind support. I really appreciate and needed this. I don't have much of a support system when it comes to all of this, so it is definitely so nice to hear this. Thank you so much.

Welcome.... Agora1 Hit the nail on the head. Not much else I can add but to echo the sentiments of that member. Make it all about you for the next two weeks and no one else. Good luck and keep us all posted

No worries my friend. You're absolutely welcomed. Unfortunately there are many of us who don't have the luxury of support from friends and family. Sometimes, the best support you get are from complete strangers... Irony

Yes, that is so sad but seems to be true right now. Thank you for your words of encouragement and help.

Hi, I am here. What do you want to chat about ? I have been in CBT for a very long time. Also DBT and many other forms of therapy what would be glad to chat.

[colyad in reply to Frankie24]

Hi Frankie, I went over some concepts of CBT with someone once this year. It seems like a lot of work. How were you able to pick up all the concepts and processes? Was it easy for you?

[Frankie24 in reply to colyad]

I did not find it a difficult practice. Especially since it was done in a less rigid manner. Some therapist perform CBT while working with you in regular therapy sessions. Is this a single therapist or a group ? If it is a group there will be hand outs and much explanation.

Totally going to just pop in here (sorry Frankie 24). First, welcome to our group. Many beautiful souls are here. Second, CBT can be work, especially if you don’t want to do it. In the beginning of therapy, when I had CBT “homework” I would struggle because you have to be honest with yourself. It gets better though and helps so much to uncover those layers you may be subconsciously hiding.

Best of luck and be sure to keep checking in here for the next two weeks 💜
