Why I feel this way today...
I should feel better, I made a step yesterday I made some progress I got of my sorry hiney and went to therapy, yet here I am stuck. I'm supposed to call the doctor, schedule an appointment to talk about starting on meds for my anxiety and mood swings, yet I have yet to do so... and that makes me feel like crap...because it's one step forward then two steps back.......... I just feel so sad and useless, I feel like mince meat or something.. I had a horrible time sleeping last night, I couldn't sleep last night, I had severaly thoughts just continously looping through my mind, it's like my little warped brain just can't shut down..it's always going always tourting me..... I feel like crap...and there is no reason for it...stupid obbesive thinking all I can think about is meds meds meds, make a doctor's appointment like your supposed to...but I can't I'm being stupid....

  Keep going, things will get better... I think its "normal" to feel worse when we first see a therapist. The meds will help with the obsessive thinking ( you are NOT stupid )

I guess a better way to phrase this is what are you thinking about all this (the doc and therapy appt)?

I'm feeling scared, out of control, very very very anxious, doesn't help my mom just go done chewing me out about something that really has no concern with her, just feels like I'm being smacked down constantly.
I liked thearpy, it really did feel like this giant pressure was lifted off my shoulders, but this whole med thing has me just freaked out...and I don't know why, i know I need the meds, i've known for awhile I've needed medication for all of my stuff but I have a big aversion to medcien...it makes me feel weak and dependant...I won't even take my allergy medication if I'm having an allergy attack...I'm just so %#@&#! stupid and useless... |

So it's really the medicine which has you upset right now. There are different viewpoints on psych meds.

I have allergies too and really dislike using the stronger creams  and I do know what you mean about the meds. In a sense it does make us dependent on the doctors  but in no way does it make us weak, I think the theory of chemical imbalance has a lot going for it re. taking meds (if you had diabetes would you label yourself as weak for taking life saving meds )....Hope this helps

I don't mean to sound snobby about it at all, I guess it's just something I never liked doing and the idea of taking medicene everyday is just nerve wrecking to me, it's not just the meds there is just so much tension in my house right now and my parents keep pestring about what I talked about in thearpy....I just feel overwhelemd and I keep having obbessive thoughts and my anxiety is through the roof....which makes me really depressed.

(((Sparrow))))) sorry you feel crappy.. these arent fun things you have to do or experience... sometimes it can feel like everyone is pressuring you in some way and a little peace of mind is all you need but it never seems to appear... take little steps or big steps but believe in yourself and that what you are doing by following the advice of the others will have a positive payoff... life is not always struggling but some days are easier than others..

Have your parents let up at all about this? Tell them to get their own therapists!

My parents have let it go, after the first two days they stopped asking, thank goodness, I was about to explode. I feel better now that I've started school and have a bit of a routine. My obssesive thoughts and anxiety are still bad but I don't have alot of time open to fit in a doctor's appointment, I'm hoping I can get in next friday since this firday starts a holiday weekend and they won't be open and all my classes are done at 3:30 or 4:00 pm and it's a thrity mintue drive back to my home town where my doctor is.
