My depression is consuming me and yet I'm still meant to function. There is no solution to my lonliness and stress. My therapist didn't know what to say either. She thinks I rely on people too much. I'm just an extrovert and being alone is 1,000 times harder when I'm already depressed. There's no answer. There's no hope. I feel like absolute **** right now. I just want to give everything up.
I am sorry you feel so bad. Don't give up. This intensity will pass.

What exactly did you and your T talk about? What do you think triggered you?

I had many years when I was really unwell with PTSD in particular and most sessions with my very excellent T ended with me feeling worse. Still, progress had been made and slowly but surely I began to feel better. The PTSD is only mild now and the Bipolar is raging instead. Now I tend to feel a bit all over the place after therapy but again I can see that it is helping me a lot.
