what’s new

I am feeling so low for about a month. I feel like crying but can’t cry all the time . I feel like running and hiding under a rock . Daily chores are so hard .tired of feeling this way

I totally understand this. Depression can be very difficult. It makes you tired. Sleep becomes impossible at times. Sometimes I have to have more compassion and patience with myself. This can be hard for me. I hear what you're saying. You're definitely not alone. But there are times for me that even the simplest chores during the day can be monumental. Sometimes I just have to put things off until I can get it done. Are you involved with therapy? I'm actually considering psilocybin therapy. It's microdosing using mushrooms. I have tried almost all antidepressants but I'm seriously thinking about something more natural and homeopathic. I wish you well and hope you can have patience and be gentle to yourself.

Therapy can only do so much , with the kind of people I am surrounded with and are in my life, who misunderstand me completely I sometimes think only god can help me, but I think even he has left me alone

My current circumstances are extremely bad. Any therapy I undergo is useless , the therapist shares my personal details with my husband and other family members who then berate me and make me guilty of feeling the way I do .

I am constantly punished emotionally for being just me

[hypercat54 in reply to Hidden]

The therapist can only legally do that if you are a minor or someone has a court protection on you.

Otherwise tell him not to share or change therapists.

[Hidden in reply to hypercat54]

Have talked to a lot of professionals, will keep trying

[hypercat54 in reply to Hidden]

What happens between you and your therapist is legally private. Why are they telling your family all the details? That makes no sense whatsoever.

[Hidden in reply to hypercat54]

I don’t know why, trust me I’ve asked my family many times , they treat me like dirt, but I think since I am not paying for my therapy and my husband is so he is entitled to know the progress of my therapy

[hypercat54 in reply to Hidden]

No he isn't and nor is your family. It doesn't make any difference to the confidentiality clause.

Find a new therapist and make this clear from day 1.

[Hidden in reply to hypercat54]

thanks for the response. I will try therapy again and will stand firm on this matter .This lack of confidentiality really pushed me into a bad place emotionally I know that my feelings are just there , right or wrong comes later and I have to deal with them without judgement from people in my life.

This is completely unethical. It doesn't matter who is paying. There are only a few instances where therapists and psychiatrists are able to share information.

Sometimes I feel this way about God too. But I do know that he has been there for me in the past because I made it out of much stress and trauma years ago. I prayed a lot. I have to also remind myself that family and sometimes old friends can be toxic. I have stop talking to a family member that I thought was my support system, but then I started to feel that she got a little bit judgmental with me. As you understand and know, when we are in a difficult place, it's very hard to hear advice (many times not good advice), judgment and criticism. I just don't think people know how to communicate with people that are depressed. All they need to do is simply call and say is there something that I can do for you or just listen. You truly know who your people are when you go through difficult times.

[Hidden]

yes , that’s true.Thanks for your kind words,every little bit of help counts when you are struggling

my family openly says that they are privy to all my life and secrets they challenge me openly saying there is nothing I can do, I am just a mad person , who does not know what is good and bad for her and they are doing me a favour by giving me their time and attention. I
