For the past several years I have had an ever growing feeling that living is a losing battle. I try to look at the good in my life - good career, my two cats, loving parents - but in the end I just cannot see the point. I don't know why I feel this way but it has lead me to make several risky life choices.
I'm just scared to tell someone how I really feel. I tried letting my parents know and they told me to seek help. I don't want to feel this way and I don't want to hurt myself or let anyone down. Early last year I started seeing a psychiatrist and was very conservative about letting him know my feelings and struggles. I know he is there to help... but do you think not letting my feelings out hurt my possible treatment? I missed an appointment towards the middle of last year and just never went back and abruptly stopped taking my medication. Now I feel even worse and each week is a struggle for me. The feeling I have now is that I am just sinking away into an abyss and the ending result is going to cause my family pain and I don't want that. |

Hi psuhorticulture. Welcome to the Community. I think it would be wise to resume seeing the psychiatrist and be honest and open with the doc. If you are not comfortable with the last pdoc find a different one but do get help. Best of wishes.

Thank you Pierro and waterknob1234...
I am going to call Monday morning when I get some time to myself at work and hopefully they can see me sometime next week. I am going to try to be more open (very easy to say now) but the first time I went, I guess I didn't want something to be wrong with me. But after the thoughts I had Friday and Saturday, I can't deny I need help. I am also going to start attending AA meetings. Alcohol abuse has been another exacerbating factor in my feeling so out of whack. Thanks again - I will keep everyone updated if you don't mind as best I can. And if anyone wants to talk about their own issues I would be more than happy to converse with you. |

Realizing we need help is a process of acceptance. None of us wants to admit something is wrong.
I would encourage you to get help and be totally honest with a pdoc and T. It is not fair to them or you not to be honest and will effect treatment. It takes patients and persistence and follow through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
