Even tho I need it but cant hear another person tell me that I'm lying, my fucked up, or may all favorite my life is "your life a mess that cant be fixed but we can talk about it"

Sometimes you have to go through a few counselors until you find the right one. I had to go through several of them, but love the one I have now, and I've been talking to her for about 5 years now. She's a GEM!! Keep at it!

It's all okay to feel the added stress of a new counselor, but it may take a while to find that one that is going to encourage you, Asking them about their background is probably your first thing to look at asking them to get a feel for them. I'm telling you this and think I should follow this advice. I currently have been seeing a therapist now for 13 years and have just found another one I like and may switch but how do I let the other person know I may be switching is my new dilemma. Keep us posted, many here have been through this too, I hope the search doesn't take too long but usually you can tell within the first few visits if they are a fit.

I know its hard opening up to someone new about what you go through. It's like starting over and over again. But with that different people brings out different sides of you. you even learn more about yourself and the counselors

Maybe you can try again when you feel up to
It. I had a bunch of therapists over the years some were a good fit and some I had to run fast from. It can take awhile to find the right one. Don’t give up

    I am suffering from the inability to cope with ordinary every day things.  From my housework to watching tv or reading a book.  I get palpatations, nervousness, at the moment my heart is palpatating and all I am doing is typing this.  I am so scared its silly, I just want to stay in bed and just get up for meals and coffee.  Not that that is going to happen.  At the moment I have my daughter...
