This sounds like it's something that could help me. I got exhausted going over and over the past.
-
Thanks, nessa.
I stopped going to therapy yesterday. I will take a break fro it and then hopefully find someone more suited to me.

That's a very nice way to see your relationship with your Sister. I could probably take something from it.
I haven't seen in my Sister in quite a while now. I'm scared to see her but I'm not quite sure why.
-
I wish I had someone I could ask for advice about this. No one I know has ever had therapy.
-
I have started to get anxious (racing mind etc.) prior to my therapy sessions. I don't know what to do. I hate this feeling. I just want to back away from anything that causes it.

Hey Lise,
I'm really sorry your plans fell through. I'm sure it feels really hurtful, but I caution you to not take this event personally. When we are depressed, we can become really hyper sensitive to rejection, and normal, everyday things can seem like the end of the world. I don't think that the fact that your cousin forgot means that you are forgettable or a failure as a person. I think it just means she forgot. Try to see if you can look at it as something not very nice that happened, but not as an indication of a personal failing.
I know it was probably very difficult to make plans in the first place, but do you think you can try to reschedule with her? It sounds like you were looking forward to seeing her, so maybe you can try to see her again this weekend or next week.
I think I overreacted. We made another time. We went to the park with two of her kids. It was lovely. I really enjoyed myself. She's a very busy person - she has three kids and she owns and runs a supermarket.
I had been so nervous leading up to the original time that it was like a waste of everything.

My therapist made me make a time to see my cousin. I set it all up a couple of weeks ago on facebook and I messaged her to confirm it today and she's forgotten and made other plans. I'm that forgettable and that much of a failure that people even forget plans I've made with them.

Yesterday was better. I went with something to talk about. There were hardly any awkward silences.
-
So it would be ok to take in a list or something and refer to it during sessions? I struggle to remember everything I've been thinking about.
-
Does anyone have any tips on opening up? I have my next therapy session tomorrow and I'm worried about it. I'm never quite sure what to talk about and how to start talking about it.
-
That's a good idea. I could try that. Thank you.
-
I find to hard to talk about myself and open up. Last week she told me that it felt like I went to her for answers. She doesn't really give me ways to deal with things. It's very awkward now. Sometimes there silence and it's very awkward.
-
I have had 9 sessions with my therapist (7 solo ones, 1 with my Mum & another with my Dad). It started off good but has become really awkward. I don't know what I should say. She doesn't really prompt me with a lot of questions. Today we talked about her moving house for example. I don't know what I should do? I'm not even sure what's really supposed to happen in therapy. It's confusing right now.
-
Scared.

Yay! there is a thread for this.
My physciatrist diagnosed me with this. It explains so much. It fits me perfectly.

When my younger daughter threw up this morning I got things under control very fast. Within 10 minutes the mess was cleaned up, she was changed and I'd set up a place for her to rest. I arranged for my mother to watch her for the hour or so my husband couldn't, and let her daycare know she wasn't coming in. I took care of it.
Did some work. Finalized a workplan.
Took care of supper- not gourmet, but everyone was nourished.
I made the effort to spend quality time with both girls, and it did make me feel better.
You achieved so much today! :D You should be very proud.
Today I went to a new place which I was nervous about.
-
I don't even know.
-
I started off taking mine at night but a nurse suggested I change it to the morning since I wasn't sleeping.
-
Tired and lethargic.
-
I have talked to my therapist about it and she says the same thing as my Mum. I need to forget about her until I'm better. She's not capable of helping. She's run away because of it. She did it when my Dad was sick, too.

I am having a lot of trouble with my Sister since my depression started. One day I overheard her saying that I was attention seeking and I got very angry. I told her if she thought that she incredibly ignorant. Since that day I have only seen her once. I have gone about asking her to help the wrong way which I have apologised for. My Mum just told me that she doesn't think she'll come home again and that she thinks that I'm taking all of Mum's attention. I think she's incredibly childish and selfish.
A few years ago now she broke her leg and I looked after while she could barely move and now I need her help she's run away.
I don't know what I can do. She doesn't seem to even want to make an effort to understand. It's very sad if this causes me to lose my only Sister but maybe she's just not worth it.

Like a failure.

I can't go to see the rheumatoligist. :verysad3: Without clinical signs and blood markers indicating an inflammatory process, they can't see me. I don't even know what those are.
