> hey muffled..,
> ad's pooped out.. not working too good at all but i don't know how i would be without them. i don't see p-doc till the end of the month but i might call him and see if we can switch to something else.. i am on cymbalta right now. seroquel made me sick..*hope you can get in to see p-doc sooner.
> i don't know muffled.. i maybe should see someone else but i don't want to either.. would help if t went with me.. I can ask him if the time seems right. this isw so hard. i have trouble finding a safe place. seems to me like no where is safe. evfen thinking about safe place makes me feel uncomfortable.. i gotta go to sleep.. don't like going to sleep either.,,..lol.. i just don't like nothing*I think at this time, you stay with present T, but just TRY some visits w/other T AS WELL. It may well help with the hopeless feelings.
I read one time bout others that had a hard time with visualization of safe place.
One said that they had a small tent in their room. In the tent were some safe articals, In the tent she could feel safe. It worked for her. Maybe if you can't visualize, you can create a physical safe place to help?
Are you able to be around people that are OK for you? For me isolating is a real problem. Letting others help me is a real problem, even though I know rationally, they would want to help.
Can you plan some activities(esp w/others) that you might enjoy? Going for a coffee? Going for a picnic or hike somewhere?
Don't be afraid to lean on others. In time you will find answers and be more well, and then you can help others. We all need to help and to receive help from time to time.
In fact I would RATHER be the helper, than the helpee. Its easier to help in many ways.
Try and listen and accept those inside. They are who they are. They've gotten stuck in their fear and pain, but with time you can help them. Its a slow process, a confusing process, but things do get better.
At this point, for the most part, I would NOT want to lose my others. I am used to them, as long as things are calm, I like the noise, I am used to it. And to be fair, they have every right to enjoy life too.
I ramble,
Hope you can feel a bit better.
