Living & Surviving

[katelinaune395]

I started therapy yesterday, after over a 10 year battle with many medication changes and trying to handle things on my own I started therapy. Do I think this will work? No. Am I going to keep trying? I am not sure.....I have got to do something because the silence has become deafening and the loneliness has become so cold. Every day I wake, my feet hit the floor I am merely surviving the day. There is a difference between living and surviving.

The right therapist will make a huge difference. Sometimes it takes time to find the right one is all. Good Luck!

Congrats on taking that step. You are right, there is a difference between living and surviving. Yes, it may take a little trial and error it find the right one, but, the right one can help... Hang in there...

Thank you, I appreciate the reply! I have been used to being the one who is there for everyone and listens to others its hard to allow someone to be that person for me.

Like a lot of people, I found that meds alone were not enough to heal and I needed therapy in order to help uncover my early programming and beliefs from childhood in order to change and heal. I also went through a number of different therapists and therapies until I finally got the answers and help I needed. If you find that a therapist is not helping you, don't be afraid to quit and find one that you think will work better. I hope you find this therapy helpful for you.
