i havent posted about anything important in such a long time that i hope this doesnt come across as a rant...

today i went to my counciling session, i went with full intensions of not telling her the truth about how i felt. but when i got there my mouth sort of ran away with me.
i told her i had thoughts of taking my own life, as recently as yesterday. i told her about the voices i hear in my head.
all the time i was opening my mouth, i was thinking "stop talking you idiot".

but the long and short of the meeting is i have to wait for her to ring me next week, after she has spoken to my doctor.
she is trying to get me to see a P DOC. and has told me that she thinks i need more help then im getting right now, (it may mean a med change. . grrrr)

now im home again and im drained....... in need of sleep lots of sleep.

I am glad you were able to open up, there is nothing wrong in saying how it really is.

I think it was a positive and brave thing for you to be honest about what you are thinking and doing to your therapist. I know how hard it can be but once you do it at least for me it feels so much better. Then you can get the help you need.

Maybe ask your therapist or ppl on PC some coping techniques after you have opened up to your therapist and don't like the feelings you have afterwards?

It sounds like the healthy part of you wants to get help more than the unhealthy part of you wants to keep you sick. It's good you told the truth. Relax and wait to see what help will come your way as a result of this.

I hate medication changes too. I HATE THEM!!! They make me extremely anxious, afraid, depressed. But some of them have worked out very well for me. Sometimes you just have to give it a try and take the chance. After 3 months or so you have a good idea if a med is working for you or not.

As long you keep on being honest with what is going on with you, the medication changes, while perhaps trying your patience at times, will eventually work out well for you. Good luck!

Your mouth was looking out for your best interests.
