Today is the day I wnt to the Doc's and told the truth.. and I am so relieved. I dont like to talk too much about my mental health stuff, but at the same time I want help and need it. I hate talking about it, cause then I feel so ashamed, I hate it. But I want help cause the way I am now, I ignore myself so much so I wont have to face myself. But I end up ignoring the people that are most special to me. Any how, I am a strange one lol.. but I will get better I hope.

Well congratulations for telling your doctor! I'm the same as you when it comes to not liking to talk much about my health but it'll be better now that you do. I am positive you'll do much better now that the medical professionals are on your side. ^_^

Hi qkthnkr

Welcome to PC. I know that sense of relief can be so wonderful. Maybe this will open many doors for you, and can be the beginning of a great treatment program. Congratulations!

Take care,
Dee

P.S. I is strange, too!!

Hey welcome to PC and congratulations on telling your doctor about your mental health issues!! I know what you mean, so much of the time I don't even have the words to say I ignore myself or to describe my mental health stuff ( I have ALWAYS had a sense of shame since childhood Today but .. uh.. it couldn't have been me being "bad" then for having anxiety Today ) but finding a good doctor who listens and has time for us is a very important and crucial step! (and in my experience there aren't many of those doctors, in this part of the world anyway) Keep posting, looking forward to hearing more from you! Today Today

Welcome to PC and congratulations on talking to your Dr., that can be a very scary step, but it's a first step in getting help.
