I'm hoping for better days
I've been dealing with anxiety that leads to depression since I was 15. I'm now 37 and it's at it's worse. I've been up and down sometimes not having an episode for years. It came back in full force about 5 years ago when I got pregnant with my daughter, about a year after that Covid happened. I haven't

suicidal ideation
I’m in depression recovery but trip and fall at times and it’s usually a hard fall. I just really feel useless and a bother. Nothing I say or do is right. I have no one to talk to besides my therapist because I have no friends and my small family are the people who say shit to remind me that I fucked

therapy is transactional?
I've been thinking recently that my approach to therapy is wrong. I need emotional support, but that's not necessarily something that I can expect from a therapist. Yeah, it'd be nice, but I've learned from experience that it's not something that therapists can necessarily give, since it is A LOT of

ADHD Clutter vs. Hoarding
So I've struggled for years with clutter. Every time we moved, a little more stuff was packed and taken to the next place. Because there never seemed to be enough time to pack in an orderly fashion, at the end the last two days were always cramming stuff into boxes and planning to sort and donate, toss

What is ‘fawning’ - the lesser known of the 4 F's? How is it related to trauma, PTSD and the ‘fight or flight’ response?
[i]You have probably heard of “fight or flight” responses to distressing situations. You may also be familiar with the tendency to “freeze”. But there is another defence or survival strategy a person can have: “fawn”.[/i] [i][/i] From https://theconversation.com/what-is-fawning-how-is-it-related-to-trauma-and-the-fight-or-flight-response

That random feeling
Friday night I tossed and turned- restless sleep. Saturday I awoke feeling drained, defeated, worthless... I showered without thinking and dressed the same. On my way to work, I had a thought I won't speak on. An hour into my shift I was crying because of how I felt. I was also getting angry because

Hello running people. How’s it all going? I’ve been thinking recently of how hard we work our bodies when we do this running thing. We know it’s a high impact exercise. All the miles we run, all the effort, the stress on our joints and bones 🥵 And for some, the extra stuff like the cross training,

An over week long panic attack
Hi all. I’m reaching out here because I don’t know where else to go. I’m working with a therapist, psychiatrist, my aunt who’s a life coach and my dad as a support system which I’m very grateful for, but I still feel so alone and fearful. I have been sober from alcohol for about 5 years because of

Positive results from Guanfacine ER 1 mg
My now 9 yr old daughter was diagnosed with ODD around age 5 (took the Vanderbilt test), but did not take any medications. We tried therapy for a few sessions, but could not continue due to me switching jobs and she wasn't responding to it. She told me therapy wasn't going to help her. She was subsequentially

Rytary update
I may be getting close to going back to regular C/L . Rytary does give me longer ON times, which allow me to eat three times per day. I had lost 20 lbs last year, and had been able to slow the weight loss, but not stop it entirely. Now I’ve gained a couple of pounds. BUT. I had finally stabilized

idk why I’m writing this, but there’s lots of triggers in it.
I’ve been seeing my therapist for over a year and I had one session with a psychiatrist recently. Psychiatrist says he wants to keep bipolar 2 in the back of his mind but still unclear and my therapist seems to think everything I do is completely normal. Of course, there is an implied tone of disagreement

Naming Emotions/Triggers
My therapist has been having me "name" my emotions and triggers. For example, shame is named "Bane". She has been having me develop these personalities of them so that I can identify them "taking over" and have an internal dialogue with them to "keep them in their lane." I am not sure how I feel about
