I wish I could do something to help. The last part of your post; about outerspace thinking there's nothing wrong but tearing yourself up inside, I can really relate to. Doc told me it was to do with perfectionism, not allowing ourselves to be honest to others about our feelings because we don't want anybody to think we're not coping. Hope you're doing better today and hope you managed to get some sleep. Well done for not drinking too, even not having any in is a way through it...at least you didn't go out and buy more. Let us know how you're doing, and if there's anything I can do, Thumper. xxx

Thanks, babe...we have each other to care about which to me makes things seem a little less hopeless. Hope it's the same for you too.
Enjoy the pub today...you really deserve it. xx

Ghost and Pete are right as usual. Just make sure that you go at your own speed tomorrow, sweetie and think about YOU - nobody else. I'll be thinking of you. Hope it helps you, because you deserve it.

By the way, I only get up the courage to tell o/h about doctor's appointments on the day that they take place if he's in, or after the event if he's at work when I go. So I understand; I really do. And you're not stupid. You have every right to worry. It's natural and you can't help the way that you feel. My doc told me off for pretending everything was OK when it wasn't this week. Please try to feel that you can express bad feelings and it's not your fault if you feel bad. And we're here to understand and support you.

oh thumper, that's just horrible.. there are psychs i've seen before that i could never bear to face again.. and a dr or two as well that humiliated me and were proved so wrong later.. remember that is just this one person's opinion.. i don't know how your healthcare works there in the uk, but here we get second opinions like crazy.. just dismiss it and as pete said, if you can, insist on another therapist.. obviously it is a bad match! i'm sorry it means you'll have to wait even longer for real help.. and i know going through it all again is the worst.. i've been there.. i could go on and on, believe me.. how dare he/she dismiss you that way.. what a cop out answer.. (again!) sending hugs to you.. ghost

me, too right now, thumper.. my son mentioned our white trash neighbors glared at him when he was out checking the mail.. they treat him like some kind of weirdo just because he's not loud and rude like their son, it made me go into my 'family' protective mode so bad.. Back Off, Inhumans! I BITE!!!!!! take care, ghost

:(Thumper - sorry I'm late with this; I've been away for a while I'm so sorry that you had to go through all this. I'm so proud of you for staying above water in all this and making the decision to insist on a new therapist. You know where I am if you need me, sweetie. Glad bunny is doing better too. Hope you soon find the therapist that you deserve - a great one. By the way, I love your new sig and location! xx P.S - Ghost, I'm sorry you're there too. Your son is stronger and better than that family could ever wish to be - and he can get further - far further - than my hubby on Oblivion! Your stinky neighbours are nothing compared to your family.

Thank you Anyway speech over I really hope this new treatment does something to help you and I'm glad your feeling a bit more happy Mia x
