Experiences with

Psychotherapy

A couple of weeks ago, I came across a video about ADHD in women. I believe I most probably have it, but still haven't been diagnosed. I tried an online therapy platform, and the therapist was adamant I didn't have ADHD, only anxiety disorder (after approximately 5 minutes into a phone call). She wasn't

I had the surgery at Sonimodul in Switzerland in Feb 2021. Short story: Before PTT, I took 3 x Levodopa Carbidopa CR daily. Now, I take 5 and my symptoms are a lot worse. Progression rate has increased. Long story: I never had resting tremors. I have rigidity, dystonia, bradykinesia, akinesia

Yesterday was hell. But so I got extra good sleep and remembered my dreams for the first time in a long stretch. I feel so much better. My therapist is talking to me about a person coming out to my home or meeting somewhere to check in with me once a week. I think I’d benefit from that. I’m laying with

Hello! I am Krista from Kansas! I am a therapist who treats OCD, BFRBS, and BDD. I also have OCD. I am a new IOCDF advocate also! I was diagnosed when I was 24 but recall my earliest obsessions beginning at the age of 8. The OCD community is incredibly supportive and I am happy that everyone is here

Hi, everyone! I’m very thankful for this platform connecting me with others who struggle with anxiety/depression just as I do. I also have a 14 y.o. daughter who was diagnosed with OCD at age 6 and is currently in the throes of some pretty bad episodes lately. She has moments of frustration where she

Hello. I am Daniel, a new member here. I have been preparing some writing about situations that have been upsetting me, for a therapist I will be seeing on the 10th August. I do not know how to condense and sum up the information. I am confused to whether the paragraphs are in the right place.

My integrative therapist told me that fasting benefit are two fold in that it makes the cancer cells more vulnerable and also helps protect the other cells from radiation damage. Do not know if a fast mimicking (prolon) would offer the same benefits. I wish i had some real studies that could confirm

For me it's therapist appointment and then hydrotherapy AFTER a good cup of tea. Have a blessed day warriors!

Hi - I could write a novel about my son. Has always hated confrontation. Good student in high school but never made great grades (graduated with a 3.6 but capable of more). Caught him vaping and smoking weed in his bedroom weeks before graduation and he said he was frustrated because he couldn’t find

Hi friends my mum has PSP and I would like to ask if anyone has been referred to the rare dementia service in the UK and where about in the UK? Also is anyone had any experience with the district nurses in your area in the UK? My mum was referred to the rare dementia service in Birmingham UK since she

Hello, The title says it all. lol I was in therapy with the same therapist for a long time. She was very patient, but also let me know when I needed to step up and do the work. I was very lucky and honestly feel she saved my life. Anyway, one of the main goals was to stop swallowing my feelings

my Cbt therapist has been giving me homework to help my social anxiety, and this weeks was to ask a stranger for their opinion on an item of clothing for me. So yesterday after 45 mins of walking around different shops, building up the energy and pushing myself out of my safety net, I managed it. And

After having a sudden meltdown at work one day over a stressful situation I have started having panic attacks, and after a few months of CBT my therapist suggested I had social anxiety (which reading up on it makes complete sense!) I am just wondering if anyone else has developed social anxiety after

I’m sorry if I’m overusing this space right now, but it’s really keeping me together. Thanks for that. Tears again. ….. my husband and I are leaving for a little beach vacation in a few days. I have to leave my trigger (a single sibling has had a serious accident and is in rehab to get mobile. She’s

I have friends and family members who found psychotherapy helpful; from what they say, I have a feeling like, maybe they were really lacking self-awareness?

Hi. This is my first post and just typing this is causing me anxiety!! I have never done anything like this before. My therapist says I'm so isolated ( and I agree) I cannot work due to many medical issues... physical... mental and emotional. I have zero social life and my family just doesn't understand

GPs can refer people for counselling, psychotherapy or help through an online mental health service, such as Living Life to the Full. 9. Go back to basics! Lots of people turn to alcohol or drugs to self-treat anxiety, but this will only make matters worse.

those good ol intrusive thoughts that are like hahaha you’re feeling okay and mostly calm right now so we’re gonna make you think about how something can happen out of your control and death lmao I’m starting to laugh at them now getting wack theses thoughts or if something is out of my control my therapist

im thinking of dying.. My therapist quit I can't find another in my area. My dad just yelled at my poor mom when she was so happy. There are so many small things adding up. Abused kids at work. The War. Hurting animals. My stupid brain betraying me. It all just feels too much and suddenly
