Hi,

I'm not doing so well. Didn't have a good appointment with psychatrist today and because I am struggling, it is difficult for me to open up.

Hi @oceangirl 

Sorry to hear you are not doing so well. 

I too find it hard to open up to professionals, especially when I am not doing well.

Do you see a psychologist too?

Sitting with you hun 💕

Hi @oceangirl
Thanks for checking in. I’m just letting you know that I care about you and you are not alone. You have many friends here on the forums and are a respected member. Just remember there are helplines listed in the forums if you need help or want to talk.
Take care, forumite.

Ooooh @oceangirl

For the first 10 years I had a lot of difficulty putting words together and speaking in therapy.  I guess over time I got better so I cant shush up, but I remember long struggling silences well.  SOme of that may because some i mportant deep issues are in that area where words are inadequate ... the preverbal and the spiritual.

Take Care and Stay Safe

Hi @oceangirl  sorry you're having a rough day. I struggle to communicate too so can empathise. It can be so frustrating when the times you need to be able to open up most is when it's the hardest.

O hope you're evening gets better

I’m new to this forum and am also struggling . I have acute anxiety and am having trouble with regulating my emotions. I’m in a hyper aroused flight or fight state and had a particularly bad experience today when I fought with a neighbor
