Missing Therapy

First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!



So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop seeing her because I couldn't afford to pay. It's been over a month without therapy, and I feel myself reverting back to old habits. I kind of thought that with the progress that I made, I might not even need therapy anymore. But I guess I need continuous help, and that's kind of disheartening. 


I reached out to multiple therapists and hope that I can find one soon. I think I'm nervous about connecting with a therapist again, because my therapist was awesome and then she was gone. It feels like I lost a close friend, as lame as that sounds lol. Wish me luck!


Peace, love and hugs to everyone!

It is difficult to find a therapist that you can connect with during therapy. You were lucky. I hope you are able to find a therapist soon and continue to progress. If you find yourself in a bind, there are different hotlines. Also, available in most areas are workshops you can attend. Best of luck to you

Big hug sweetie

In the meantime it might help to use your journal here

Some people journal daily
It's a way to vent and gain support as well as the boards

Big squishy hug...xo

Some use chatgpt for advice and feedback

I know that it's AI but I think that it's pretty good and it's positive

my very first therapist was a fanatical believer in peer support. he referred to himself as, "a reference book. chockful of good info, but i never leave the library."

we're here if you want some peer support. be gentle with yourself and patient with the process.

Maybe start writing down the things that helped you make great strides. Maybe you can share with us so that we can further support you. Good luck on your search for a new therapist. Have you tried Psychology Today's website?

Sometimes we take a step backwards and for me, I just remind myself to get back into the proper groove. Don't beat yourself up for sliding backwards but renew your effort and enthusiasm. Some of us need what is called an accountability partner. I pretty much have to be my own. Journaling can help.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
