I am new here and having a very difficult time in my life. My emotions control me to the point that I drive everyone I love away. I don't know where to turn.

Hi needinghope.




I noticed you have posted in the bipolar forum as well. This is good. You may get more feedback to your posts.

I've done the same. I've been trying to control it more recently by seeing a psychologist and psychotherapist, to change how I do things, it's helped me a huge amount. Maybe it's worth a shot for you, too?

Hi Needing hope,
I'm glad you joined here on P.C.
Basically what I feel you may need to do is find a therapist. You could go online & search for one based on what your going through.
Try to be good to yourself. If you have the means take some time out for yourself & maybe take a drive to the ocean, go to a retreat, something relaxing. Make out a step by step plan for yourself take baby steps on what you'll need to do for your recovery. Go on the internet for help. The search engine is a great tool for asking questions.
Be good to yourself.

Refer yourself to a doctor, take medication exercise, get a nutritionalist, see a therapist, read self help books, start a grateful diary and do some volunteer work.
