Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
sorry, really long post:
wanted to know what other's experiences were like with therapy stuff. i have been in a kinda crisis mode for a few weeks. doing little things to keep myself afloat like thinking about why i need to get up the next day and what i need to make sure is done. i have someone that i talk to on a regular basis, once every two or so months. the relationship was strained recently due to things that i cannot share here. now i feel as if she is angry at me or something. i met with her last week and the meeting was weird. she got frustrated because i did not feel free to express how i felt and made sure to tell me so. this put me off from letting her know what was going on andi did not ask for the help i needed. can someone please tell me if there is a way to reconcile my relationship with this therapist? i really need to talk to her soon but i am not sure i will be able to ask her for help cuz i feellike i hate her.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Either way, ask for help.........you won't get it any other way. This was the first thing I truly learned in therapy. If I can't voice it, no one will hear my needs.
If your therapist is any good, she will listen to you and will be eager to reconcile any problems. Your therapist may or may not be aware of your frustration and any issue between you and your therapist will only get in the way. It may be that she isn't the right person for you, but she shouldn't get defensive or offended at anything you say.
Sometimes I tended to take his responses too personally and he explained that what he was saying was not a personal attack but a way of trying to make me see a different viewpoint as I tended to see things in [quote] "Black and white" a lot of the time.
Your therapist may not have intended for the comment to be an attack. I found that it helped a lot to question the therapist if I didn't understand what they meant and also when I didn't agree. Try talking to her about how her comment made you feel..it could help
