I've been in a sticky situation, but don't know what or how to manage anything anymore.
 I'm totally relapsing, but don't know how to fix it. Currently, I'm about to go back to my old school, the one I left after having an extreme crisis. I went to the hospital after a serious phone call to my T then went to a psychiatric center and currently at a day treatment center. I really don't know what to do. I want to hide everything from my therapist so i can just be normal and back at my regular school. There are serious behavioral problems where I'm afraid to go the the day treatment center because I'm afraid of my safety from the other people in my classes. Overall, there are so many things I'm looking forward to if I go back to my old school. I'd regain my old T who I really bonded to (I've been switched to 2 different therapists and 3 different psychologists within 9 months and have an attachment disorder) I can't seem to work with anyone of my T or Psychiatrists. I keep on hiding everything from everyone because everyone says that 100% I'm ready to return back into my old school and just start over. In the meantime, I'm having horrific dreams  that are so triggering and am now tending to bite myself for the sake of personal comfort.  It's not considered SI because I don't do any damage to myself. I haven't SI in over 8 months and am now worried that it might start again. I need some advice and comforting support badly.  I feel like I'm treading water  so I don't drown in relapse, but am hiding my internal injuries of mental health for psysical health's sake.

I read your post - I am sorry it is so hard for you right now. I have been having really bad dreams lately too, and I know how badly they can affect you during the day. Makes it so much more difficult to cope.....they really just stay with you. It sounds like there are really good reasons to return to your old school - are there any reason not to? If this is a decision that is hard for you, could you write it out and make a list of pros and cons for each option? That is often a good way to make things clearer and help you decide. Please don't hurt yourself-- feel free to PM me if you need to talk. I am here for you..... ktgirl |

Why can't you talk to the new T's? Not talking about your issues is not a good idea.... Talking about these dreams with a T would help?

I cant talk to my new therapists because I cant adjust to them. I don't do well with switching to other people due to an attachment disorder. Once I find a person who I'm very compatible with, I can't work with anyone else. I'm so worried about my school issues at both schools and my thoughts that I can't think straight enough to get help for my internal thoughts that are slowly and quietly tearing me apart.

One solution here seems to be to talk to your old therapist. You are holding back because you are not sure that she can help????? Don't back yourself into a corner. Why are you nervous to talk with her? You can still be nervous and do it anyway. We all have to do stuff like this.....

Can you explain this to the therapist? - That she needs to take it easy and not stir up too much because then you can't cope....

So if you speak out for your needs you will get punished?

You said that the one that you will be going back to goes too fast. You should be able to tell any therapist when there is a problem though....

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