Thanks again

Thanks again to everyone that answered my posts and tried to give me advice on going to therapy i'm slightly thinking about going for it where as before I was very negative about it. Thanks again I think one of the reasons I don't want to go is because my mind goes blank and I can't remember what's i'm talking about that's due to my neurological condition.

Hi, i haven't seen your previous post but thought maybe I can offer some words of encouragement. Needless to say therapy can be daunting, it feels like such a big life change. But if you're considering it, what's the harm of giving it a shot. I always say it's better to try something out and find out first hand if it's for you or not. If you don't like it, you can always try a new therapist or at the very least say you gave it a shot. Finding a therapist can sometimes feel like trying to find the shoe that fits. But when you find that perfectly sized shoe, you realize it's worth finding the right shoe. Either way, you're allowed to figure out what works for you in whatever time frame that suits you.

Also, if you always go blank, it could help writing some bullet points that you'd like to discuss. That way when you're in session you have a guide to refer to. I know my brain goes blank and I end up talking about things that might not associate with my down feelings.

Either way, it's wish you the best of luck and hope you can find some peace in what way you can

Thank you so much for your encouraging words I would love to try therapy but I get anxiety just at the thought of it and my paranoi is telling me that people probably won't like me, my head is going crazy just thinking about part of me is saying I can do it,I can do it and then the wee devil in my head lol keeps telling me I can't it's so annoying.I would love to see what life could be like without constant suicidal thoughts.Take care.

Music is always a big help for me. Even if you have to "sing" quietly, the words can be therapeutic. You are here, and you matter!

Thank you,much appreciated I need to try and get that in my head.I wasn't brought up in a way that made me feel as if I mattered.

So, well done for even opening the door to thinking about therapy. For you that's a big step.

Moment by moment.

Best wishes

THANKYOU

Sharing that problem with the therapist would be a good first step, and give you a clue if that therapist was someone you could trust. Most likely, they would be accepting and helpful.

Yes this place has been a haven and I have not even been here that long!

I'm here to add encouragement. I've had sooo many bad therapists, but have a great one now who listens, supports me, and offers useful insight. Good therapy experiences are out there🙂 I promise.
