I feel so completely hopeless. I don't know what to do. I only have about 10 more visits that my insurance will cover and my first psych appt isn't until March 2. My meds don't work, I'm overwhelmed at work. I've woken up screaming twice. My startle response is ridiculous. I just don't know how much longer I can do this.

In therapy we're just now getting to part of the problem, that I don't know who I am. Inside all I have is a mirror and I just become whoever the other person wants me to be. Always at the mercy of a stronger personality. I feel like a child. I've done such a great job of putting up a fake front that I don't know how to stop it without breaking completely. And now I know I don't have many sessions left and they're the only real honest hour I have once a week.

Ten sessions is a lot and you can work on this outside of therapy too like here. So you are starting to panic about the future?
I had to find my identity too and be my own person. Do you understand why you developed like this?

I'm trying. Had a lot of stuff go in as a kid. And a whole bunch that I do not remember. My coping skills are to forget or change myself in some way. Been doing it so long. *sigh* oh well, have an appt monday, guess we'll take it from there and see what happens.

in therapy you can learn new coping skills, productive ones. i was clueless about everything until i did the work in therapy. you've got 10 sessions left. look at the glass half full, rather than half empty. get your money's worth!!!  let us know how u are doiing, k? we do care about you.

I agree with madisgram - about writing down things - if somthing bothers me i take it on a piece of paper to my next appt to talk about it - it helps - I underastand the mirror thing - I have been everyone that everyone else wanted me to be and so dont know if there is a me in there - hopefully we will both find a way out fo this - take care - hope the session goes well P7
