So I’m going to my first therapy session next Saturday . I’m using the BetterHelp app.

I’m just really nervous but I know my self destructive can’t go on. It’s not healthy and I have so much hope/goals in life I want to accomplish

So any tips on how to manage therapy?

jesus christ died for nothing I suppose

never doing that again

Ayeee that's awesome Janet. Therapy is great I honestly think that everyone can benefit from having a great therapist.

My tips would be to move at your own pace and find a therapist you like.

A therapist is a mental health expert they can identify issues and point them out to you in a logical rational way. My last therapist was a saint she was the smartest person I've ever met probably. I was allowed to speak on things I never ever talked to anyone and she broke everything down to me in a way that I could understand. I thought I was crazy but I'm not I was in an abusive relationship I have ptsd and I have to process it.

And therapy only works when you're honest too that's why it's important to find a therapist you trust and feel comfortable opening up too. The job of a therapist is not to diagnose but to help, listen and guide you thru your mental health issues. I don't f*** with psychiatrist because I think meds are a bandage one part of the equation but not the entirety mental health issues don't go away we just learn how to manage them. If meds work for you, more power to you. You have found what works for you. My therapist was able to identify a lot of my issues based on the information I was feeding her and it has benefit me tremendously.

going back to therapy for the first time in two years, i’m anxious asf

feeling/being unable to help or uplift ppl close to me w my words is the worst f***ing feeling

Seeing a new therapist tomorrow. Gonna let everything out of the bag I don’t have anything to lose any more I hate myself

no He didnt

really anxious

This is called progress b. One baby step at a time.

I don’t feel emotions anymore
Just the memories of them

I’ve accepted that my only social life will be on here. I’ve accepted that I’ll never trust anyone enough to love them. I’ve accepted that the only thing that matters in life to me is making money and having my art seen by the largest possible audience. The rest is just selfish people and meaningless world events.

I'm just nervous is all

But appreciate your advice ❤️

Glad you're getting help.

You can only go up from.here fam

I have a terrible habit of not taking my lexapro on days when I don’t have to work

I don't know man.. This boredom and loneliness is getting a, bit too much. It's been like 10 years of this. I don't have anyone to do things with, so I'm kinda stuck. I can easily break down whenever I am, this morning at work was tough I was holding it in and the drive to uni was s*** also. Just always alone.. I can't get too much into it because the flood gates will open up.

I never though I'd off myself, but those thoughts are creeping up a bit more. I don't think I csn actually do it, because that would destroy my mum and sister also. I idon't think I can go through with it and even thinking about the funeral.. Hardly anyone would even show up

All I ever wanted is friends that's it, everything else would've fallen into place but at my age everyone has their group or a set.

I wish I could go back to hgig school and start again. So many f***in regrets

Anxious about so much stuff atm need a vacation far away asap

I’m afraid of schizophrenia
