Experiences with

Psychotherapy

My tinnitus having got significantly worse recently, I'm keen to try cognitive behavioural therapy but am having trouble identifying a suitable therapist. There appear to be dozens of qualified therapists in my region (north Oxfordshire) but none list tinnitus as something they treat. Any suggestions

Well, not sure where to start or what to say as I've never done this before. I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression many years ago and have been through the evolution of meds over those many years. I don't think any have really done much for me, at least I never felt like they did. I am currently

I had to have my meeting with my therapist yesterday. We talk over the phone, and I like to find a place I get good reception. Dolfin and I were talking about the beach the other day here on HU, and it's been a few weeks. After my meeting, I went for a stroll along the seawall waiting for the golden

Today i went to doctor (for my chronic runny nose because mom made me) at like 10am and i was sleepy and cold so i came back home and went to sleep. (Doc examined me for like 10mins and just told me to go to an allergy doctor). I came back at like 12 at noon and slept till like 10pm. Had really vivid

i’m just feeling so down, coping with BI everyday. Ringing & hissing head, pain, numbness, visual snow, brain fog, cognitive problems and dissociation. I’m so tired of this. It has made me so lonely and stopped me living my life and being with people i love. lost all hope of any recovery, if i’m honest

Hi everyone, sorry for the lengthy post. I recently posted about how my OCD has flared up again. I’ve been having a few different themes coming and going, but mostly, the one that has been sticking is revolving around harm. I absolute hate that this is around, and I’ve had in the past, but have gone

I am looking for a place to learn and practice how to talk about my depression and anxiety, so I can become strong enough to speak up about my condition in the workplace. I have been highly functional in work settings for decades. After being diagnosed with Major Depression and Anxiety in 2016, I

Hi! My son who is 9 was recently diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago and has been having issues at school for the past few years. His main issue is emotional regulation- he gets frustrated very easily and loses his cool, sometimes shouting or crying or slamming his desk, etc. He’s not aggressive towards

It's so hard. Im being hitted by even older traumas, im lonely but have nobody here and nobody wants to talk to me because I lash out. I lash out because I get triggered. Im really easily triggered. It's so hard to do university work and household. I really want to move out but just fantasise. Im worried

My therapist told me I should walk more, so I took his advice 🙃

Hi, how does a person find a good Therapist? I have been to a string of disappointing people who claim to be a Therapist or Counselor. I felt I was making progress with the last one, when he stood up in a session and said he did not give a rat’s a$$ if I ever have another panic attack or drink myself

Hello! I’ve been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder, more specifically Functional Movement Disorder. Does anyone know of any therapist that’s done CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with FND/FMD patients in Hawaii? Thank you!

What are the random things about you that you think might now be ADHD? I've been running into traits and characteristics and habits and pet peeves ever since realizing that I had it, and they all seem to stem from ADHD. So I thought I'd ask what those "aha" moments were for you guys. My inability to

Hi everyone, when I was 19 i got into a very toxic relationship that turned very abusive emotionally.. I was in it for 3 years and stayed in way to many years than I wanted because i lost my virginity to him and I grew up very religious. I felt stuck and no where to go, at the very end of that relationship

it’s been a while since I posted but I’m really struggling with debilitating anxiety, bipolar and depression. I have gone on and off on so many meds. Klonopin has been helping me with my anxiety and sometimes I take 2-3 mgs when that’s over the limit but it helps decrease that crazy overwhelming anxiety

After having an lsd trip 7 years ago (consult a therapist before psychedelic use) I realized I was gay and couldn't accept it because of my dad. The last 7 years hidden truths have come up of my dad being a major Narcisst who certainly has cheated on my mom even with his own co-worker. I have so much

I am lonely and i tried to call dad. The call was 4 minutes long and his baby didn't stop screaming. He said he's going to see sis and i worried about her interacting with it. Sis hasn't replied to any of my messages and i got worried She s depressed like me and i called her. Then mom got home and started

Okay so until recently, I had been able to manage my anxiety and OCD pretty well. I was able to do things like leave my room, draw, turn on my game console, leave the house, etc without giving into compulsions and mental rituals. However ever since I lost my job, my nasty OCD habits have been catching

Pressure so much it feels like a vice on the front of my brain. Dizziness and blurry vision for a second over and over. I wonder if it is intense stress and cptsd or something more. Will have to follow up with an MRI when I can. I am dissociating, I know that, not present in my body or time
