How long do you give a new therapist?
How long should you give a new therapist before you decide they're not the right fit? My introductory call was ok, although she already started pushing for medication without knowing me (and she's not a doctor who could prescribe it anyway). Then we had our first real session today and she seemed annoyed

Transport A Scooter
Good morning everyone. We are considering purchasing a new vehicle, probably an SUV. I need help figuring out what type of carrier/ramp/lift would be best to transport the scooter. My niece is an occupational therapist who has warnings against buying a newer vehicle because she said the frames are lighter

I, too, am still struggling
I have lived in my own apartment for 7 months now. I have no family and no friends. I am very lonely most of the time. I recently adopted a cat, and that has helped, a little. But otherwise I have a 50 minute conversation with my therapist once a week. This is not my hometown and it never felt like home

Cisgender Spouse
I’m new here. Struggling to come to terms with a failing marriage, gender fluid husband. Experiencing unrelenting pain and internalized suffering. Can’t find a therapist that has the LGBTQ experience needed to help me work through it.

I hate it here
I am really frustrated. I want to participate in a treatment program and while I was in the hospital I was recommended to do a partial hospitalization program because they are SO good. I thought this was a great idea and I immediately called to ask for help but it's super expensive and I can't afford

Coping skills advice
Hi. I just joined this group today. My therapist thinks it will be good for me because I’m struggling with some extreme anxiety mood swings. I had to stop going to my pain management dr because I would get so nervous and upset by the things she would say that I scratched my skin off in multiple places

Auto-immune hypothyroidism or not?
Good morning all, How can I find out what kind of hypothyroidism I have, please? There is hypothyroidism in my family, but I was told by an alternative therapist many years ago that I have an autoimmune type condition and would like to know via blood test, if that is possible? Apologies if this has been

PEMF mat therapy update
So I finished my pemf mat therapy and here is what I experienced. While on the mat my tremors would stop on average 10 minutes into a session. The sessions would last 30 minutes to 1 hour. I started at the lowest setting and worked my way up. I used the unit daily. I also noticed that my tremors would

Maintain crisises? I'm in a crisis. I haven't passed my previous crisis and now a new one. Trying to self soothe. Inner child work.
It's really heavy on me. My dad, mom, sis, half-sibling, Grandma, roommates, my previous anxiety, unable to cope with university and my project, being let down by people i got vulnerable with, not finding good therapy, the stuff that happened in my previous post. I was texting with sis and i got so anxious

Experiences with afternoon booster
Looking for people’s experiences using an afternoon booster for vyvanse (or other med). I take 50mg vyvanse, usually around 7am. Works pretty well from late morning to around 2-3pm then slowly seems to wear off. I’m ok at work if I’m alone in my office but if I have a late client or evaluation (I’m
