To figure out how to tell T and NP how much my mental health is dwindling. I'm extremely irritable, beyond tired, thoughts are racing like mad, severely depressed, and just all around miserable. I've become obsessed with death...suicide comes and goes. I've started becoming paranoid ranging from mild to severe. I do a lot of journaling that's how I see the paranoia. At night I can't get rid of the feeling that bugs are crawling through my skin...I don't notice it so much during the day.
I think the trust factor is being interfered with by the paranoia. I'm struggling. I've gotta do it tomorrow with T. I'm gonna do it if I have to write it out and give it to her. Ya think writing it and giving it to her is a good option?

Delusions, yes writing it out is good. It helps you stay focused. Then sharing it with her is good as well. I know you can do it and wish you well in therapy. tc

Writing it out is good. It helps in remembering too. Especially if our heads are feeling scramble-y. You can either use it just for yourself to remember, or hand it to her. Either is just fine. You don't have to decide ahead of time, just go with what seems best at the time.

If for whatever reason writing's not practical (too daunting, not enough time, whatever), you can just print out your post.

Hope you can get feeling better soon.

P.s. Just saw your more recent post. I'd recommend to keep appointment, print out post.

Try not to freak out about going (easier said than, yeah yeah). Not just my personal experience, but I've read so very, very many times on here others that feel that way, but make themselves go anyway and end up being very glad they went.

Avoidance feeds fear. And we can get swept up in imaginary scenarios of all kinds of dread things. But they're not real.

They say the vast majority of anxiety is future and past based thought. Which is the whole thing behind mindfulness. The future's a projection of our minds, the past is water under the bridge. The more time we fret on either is energy basically wasted. The only moment that is real is the present.

Breathe and focus whatever amount you can (even if it's only a little) on right now. That's the place to be. If you wander out, just bring it back in. No limits. It's there all the time, ready for you.

If this feels impossible right now, that's ok. Sometimes even just remembering the concept can help.

Sending good calm thoughts your way.
Thanks for this!

The update is in my thread about going off meds. Read that if you want but I'm having all my recent threads deleted tomorrow hopefully. I've decided posting is not for me. I realized how much assuming goes on in responses and I don't want to do that and dont want it done to me as it irritates me highly. Therefore I will be a lurker after today and onlu pop in to say hi once in a while.
