Therapy

[Patches]

hey all... Can someone out there tell me how does one go about getting help in this area? I know there are a lot of different types of doctors- what's the difference? How do I know who is reputable? How much $$? How long? Is it worth it?

I just have a bunch of shit going completely wrong, almost to the point of it being comical, and it seems I am losing my grip- I don't know maybe I just need a new perspective; I don't know if I can deal with all of this shit myself anymore. Everytime it seems I'm out of the woods, shit just seems to get worse, and I can't really deal anymore. I give in. You win God. Apparently the advice I try and give myself doesn't seem to be working out, so I thought this may be a good step- I mean it is pretty common right??

I know alot of people have gone through alot of things- much of which is probably 100 times worse than I've ever seen- but any advice on the matter would be much appreciated..

Ask your "regular" doctor, if you have one right now, for some references.

Do you have any friends who have seen therapists? If you feel comfortable talking to them about it, ask about their experiences.

And while there are "good" therapists, remember, a LOT of therapy is what YOU put into it.

I couldn't agree with you more. Give it time, too. You may not think it's working at first, but one day something will click in your head and you'll start to see things in a new light. at least, that's what happened with me. i went through the same feelings as you just described. Definitely see what your general physician can do as far as recommendations. Do you have an insurance plan that will cover it? Get a couple of names and make appointments with them. See who you feel more comfortable with. And if you pick one and just dont feel like it's right, dont give up, find somebody else.

Why don't you post some of your problems on the board. I've done it and got some great advice as well as a laugh. Give it a try. And remember Patches I'm depending on ya son,

Is there anyway you can skip the sessions in which it doesn't work and go right to the part where it does work?

Patches,

I know exactly what you're going through, I"m feeling the same way, but I can't afford professional help right now. What does help me is talking to my friends, but only the friends I truly trust. I find that after talking to them, I get a new prospective on things. Also lok around to your family as well, you don't realize how many people do care for you, and it will blow your mind!!!!

good luck with whatever option you take, I'm sure you'll be better in the long run.

I'm sorry for what you're going through. I seem to be going through the same shit right now. I'm losing control of my life and I can't get a hold of it. So much has been happening to me in the past few months and it keeps getting worse. I have a shrink but personally I don't think she helps...except to give me prescription drugs. She charges about $130 an hour but I have insurance so I don't know what it would be in your case.

I find talking to my friends is more therapeutic. They know me better than anyone and they know my current situation moreso than my shrink.

Also gay as this may sound maybe you should look into some energy healing i.e. Reiki (http://reiki.7gen.com/). I never used to believe in this stuff until I started leaning about it in massage school. And I've seen it done on people. Trust me, it works. And it's cheaper than a shrink. Give it a shot. Or at least do some reading on it and see if it's for you.

Hope all works out for you. Please email me if you want to get anything off your chest.
