It probably wouldn't come to it, but I've been feeling pretty awful, so I'm just curious. Also, what would it be like if you went in for depression?

onion, I have never been in an inpatient facility so I can't answer that, but are you in therapy right now?

I started this week. I'm not really sure if she knows that I have times when I'm really low, like suicidal low. When I'm not that bad, mentioning the extent of my symptoms seems ridiculous.

If you have a pdoc then you go where the pdoc has admitting privileges.

onion, it's not ridiculous, it's a condition with a lot of biology involved (not being a doctor I'm not sure I'm saying that right but hopefully you know what I mean). it seems like it would help her to know in order to help you. and I'm sure she's heard things you can't even imagine!!

I have trouble being honest with psychologists, even when I trust them. I mostly sidestep issues I should face head on, and I carefully control what I say and how I appear. I like to be in control and not a passive rambler...
I'm so anxious, waiting to feel better, not knowing if I am getting better. I feel like I should plan in case things don't get better, but that is frustrating and saddening to think about and might be contributing to me not feeling better.

Sounds like me to tee. Sometimes I even feel I'm embellishing my issues... I dunno why I do this.

I get what you are saying but if you hold everything back, all the time, you are not giving your therapist a lot to work with and she probably has to do some guessing. If you don't mind my saying so-let her help you, you don't have to 'spill your guts' all at once (unless you find you want to!)

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
