I have had Crohn's now for 30 years (I'm 55), so I do feel I know a little bit about the battle. I might be new to this forum, but sadly I'm a veteran with regards to the illness and everything that...
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that...
Why the "barf"? Is being positive something that gives you indigestion? :turn:...
We are all different and what helps one might not help another. Everyone makes their own choices in life and we should appreciate everyone's input. To say there is no cure, just because no one has...
I like to thank you so much for your story. I read the lot in one go. It was just what I needed. I asked the universe this morning to bring me inspiratation and motivation, good people who could help...
I have great respect for those who manage to still work while having all the issues that come with Crohns (or any of the other debilitating gastrointestinal diseases). I suffer with severe diarrhoea...
Lawchick, When we have suffered with issues and struggled for many years we can't expect it all to be getting better in 7 sessions of about an hour. It's unrealistic. I'm sure you can see the logic...
Brit, A shame you will have to wait to see a therapist, but at least you are making positive moves in the right direction. I'm sure that you can get to the bottom of things with some more therapy....
Here are some links for those that might want to see if there are alternatives for taking drugs from the established medical world. For some their meds work fine and they'll swear by them, for others...
My whole life is work, I've never been without a job and have never had trouble moving up the career ladder. I quit and got a new job 2 weeks later (luck, determination, desperation I don't know, I...
Writing is a form of self counselling, so it's a good thing to do. Keeping a journal is sometimes very helpful to get rid of anxiety. When stuff keeps going round and round in your head you don't get...
Brit, So people you have trusted in the past have let you down. In what way did they betray you. How did they betray you. How did it play out. What kind of things did they do to you to make you feel...
Way to go Brit! :-)...
Hi Weezy, All therapists/counsellors have to go to a therapist who is specialised in overseeing that a therapist is doing their job well. So a therapists work is monitored on a regular basis....
Turtle, I know not everyone uses medication in those cases and I really should have said "In those cases special medication might be advisable or needed to keep your balance". My bad, sorry. I said...
He will read the card of course, but hopefully he understands (as he should do if he's any good at his job) that you are doing your best to put a bad experience behind you and not get in touch with...
Brit, while you're waiting for the NHS have a look on the Depression forum and look at the following thread. "This is for everyone who is depressed or just feeling low". I'm posting some methods on...
No problem. :-)...
Ok, You ended on a bad note, so going back to him might not be the best option for either of you. Endings in therapy are always emotional, not just when it ends bad, but also when it just comes to...
Brit, I had already posted to you on the anxiety board, so have a look. We must have been posting at the same time, so some of my comments will not be relevant now. Your therapist did the right thing...
Brit, I have posted something about therapists on the depression board, so it might be worth checking it out. I had already responded to you on there, but then found a bit more of your story here, so...
Where did Brit say the therapist got rid of him/her. Was it mentioned somewhere else on an other thread? Brit you mentioned that you messed up your therapy. That you feel you would fail therapy...
Brit, First of all Life doesn't come with a handbook with ready suggestions how to deal with everything that is thrown at you. So don't knock yourself because you struggle. Some people just get a lot...
Weezy, go with your gut! I always call it our inbuild SatNav. I would advice everyone to start trusting that. You will never be wrong. Think back to every time you didn't listen to your own inner...
He says he loves you, but lies about all sorts of stuff, all which doesn't really sound to me like you are the centre of his world................. My first question is, Do you love him? Next...
I had posted this on another thread, but will copy and paste it here again with some additon especially for you. It might give you some peace of mind or some more direction. Most therapist will give...
You're welcome, no problem. The dream might start to subside now. Most of the time they do when you get more clarity about your situation....
First of all. That therapist should be struck off the register for misconduct or at least have a complaint filed against him/her. Most therapist will give you an assessment session. Often for free,...
Maybe this can help you. His house = not his house even though it might look or seem like it. It's your own spiritual house, your own inner self. A house always represents our inner Self, our Inner...
