2021-08-22 10:42:12 +0000 UTCQ19. 02.39 - Update from last month, I talked with my doctor again and he decided to put me on another med because my depression symptoms worsened again I’ve been off it for like a week now and my restlessness is there still and my psychiatrist is out of the office this week. We have a plan but I’m just so tired of the restlessness. I’m not going to school nor working and I’m feeling useless. I have no sense of direction in my life, even though my therapist thinks I do, but I’m clueless. I just don’t know what to do, but the main thing right now is I need money. But I just can’t get myself to work because my anxiety is so bad thinking about it. I tried disability and they haven’t gotten back to me. Q20. 11.40 - Recently I have been really missing and grieving not being able to have fun because there's no one available, interested in having fun. How is it possible to have fun with other people if there isn't anyone around? Q21. 16.27 - How do I work harder to see the future, find some type of meaning, ANYTHING that may give me some hope that there is a future beyond each day? Q22. 25.24 - You should know that I absolutely HATE conflict. I don't like to be angry or have turmoil in my relationships at all. I am SO DONE with all of the BS in the current environment. I feel like so many people are so mislead and it makes me so angry at those causing the harm. I also fear that the ignorance and arrogance of some are putting the lives of people I love at risk. How can I deal with this while still loving my fellow humans? Q23. 31.01 - Due to all of the stress I’ve been under, especially the fact that we just moved and everything is CHAOS, my therapist and I are taking a break from trauma work and just using sessions to work on calming down & managing the overwhelm and anxiety and the ADHD challenges of trying to get work done during all this chaos in my life. My brain never pays attention to the fact that we decided together to stop working on trauma for awhile! It won’t stop poking at the trauma. How can I get my brain to cooperate with this “set it aside” decision? Q24. 35.19- Do you have any suggestions on how to handle ending a long term therapy? Q25. 38.37 What does a support worker do for those with mental struggles? I've been struggling for a long time with working out who I am meant to be and I'm guessing my BPD doesn't help with that, any advice on how you work out and find who you were born to be? Q26. 42.50 - My question this month is how not to freak out and let my anxiety get too loud?! I’m really afraid that my anxiousness is preventing me from doing a good job. Q27. 50.33 - How do I navigate things when my thoughts start to scramble? I have noticed it happening sometimes in therapy and they will ask me “where are my thoughts? What am I thinking on?” and my response is “they are scattered”. Then we typically turn to grounding. I just want to be able to slow them down in my head and work on one without all of the many images and thoughts jumping in. Q28. 56.17 - I have a very specific issue where I will find offense in a lot of things that a loved one/close friend says to me (including my T) even if it’s not offensive. How can I manage this better? Q29. 1.02.33 - I was wondering what your thoughts are on news and traditional media and how they impact mental health. Q30. 1.07.10 - My question is about memory issues related to trauma and ptsd and how your working memory can be affected? Q31. 1.10.02 - I also wanted to ask how I can feel more grounded going into the appointment and if you had any resources about seeing a psychiatrist for me to check out. Q32. 1.16.04 - Not one specific question really but maybe some really basic and helpful tips for me with being more on time. I am late FOR EVERYTHING!! Q33. 1.24.50 - My mental health during this pandemic is not great. No one is really but the news here is just depressing, it's endless and savage and punitive and I have never felt so ashamed of my country. I think I need to find a way into counselling work because, I need meaning and something to come out of all that hard work and to give something back to this ridiculous world that is crumbling right now. Does helping people help you enough? Does a 'helper' job mean you're likely to meet wonderful people?
