Well yesterday was my 1st therapy appointment. I think it went well, I do like her. Not really sure what to expect out of it all still. But I am open...
On that note, today at work was a very bad anxiety and depression day. I feel it is only getting worse no matter what I do or how much I try to combat it. And the constant feeling like no one is listening to me is really getting old in all parts of my life. I know my BP2 and ADHD do not help as well as my boss and crew constantly pulling me 20 different directions.. but man I am mentally worn out and we are only into November.. I am a kitchen supervisor..
these kitchen jobs are tough at the best of times always on the go that can be hard but flip that to your not giving yourself lots of time to think about the personal struggles but it is important not to burn yourself out as well during breaks why don`t you go a peaceful walk read a book or listen to relaxing music. good to hear about clicking with the therapist and being open minded best way to approach it.
That has been the kicker I really have not gotten much time to myself since school started back. Since I am back at work, I am going from the time I wake up till the time I go to bed my my mind included. I have noticed my work has been my biggest stressesor. But that is most people, I just need to learn how to deal with some people...
Hi Kimmie, I love therapy. I think it is reasonable to expect to learn how to live with/manage your anxiety to be able to function in life and at work. It may take some time as you learn which modalities of therapy you like. I like acceptance and committment therapy. Hopefully you can then float with the anxiety at work, because like others have said, the nature of the job is stressful. I wish you peace, hope, and strength.
