Hi all :) havnt been on in quite a while. hope you are all well and hanging in there! I just wanted to say that within the last few weeks i have seen some HUGE improvments in my life. Still struggling of course but i dont be focusing on the struggle anymore...i focus on the positives. I want...

I dunno what to do. I seen a psychairtrist yesterday and she wants me to start on new meds. I dont mind this bit, but the bit i dont like is she told me i cannot drink. What the high hell am i going to do? I have used this coping mechanism for several years and to suddenly expect me to stop...

Hey peeps! What is you opinion on this? I was told something by my mother (as crazy as she is!) and it kinda made sence to me. Female theripsts/counsellors, they dive into your emotions and feelings and get wrapped up in them, where as males try to get the job done. What do you this of this...

I find it so hard to get out of bed sometimes that i will actully allow myself to go hungry. Sometimes it can lead to me being physically not able to eat due to over-hunger and feeling sick. But if i have nothing to do for the day, do i have to get up? I know that i need something to motivate...

I had a suicide prevention awareness programme today. It was from 10.00am to 1.30pm. My god was it intence and my anxiety was sky high due to this being a topic close to home. Suicide is a topic that plays on my mind so it was quite difficult to have sat thru it, but i did and now hold a...

I am starting this thread as i am getting serious about getting of drugs. I am doing this to motivate me and also it may help someone who is in a similar situation. I will also be writing up the odd tips i have been given from my counselling sessions for anxiety too. I always knew that my last...

Last week i have realised i am in the late stages of alcoholism. Me? How? Well, my love for partying is out the window now. The one thing i love to do and be without SA, is party. If i have to give up drinking, thats it, my life is officially over. Went to Amsterdam the weekend just gone for my...

Uggghh i am not olooking forward to a few hours htime. I have to meet with the other volunteers (most i have never met) and sit there and have a drink with them. I could stand the anxiety symptoms but i am afraid i will have a blushing attack wich just makes me want to die inside when it...

Hi, Okay for those who have been in therapy...we sit in a chair and talk, right? Does anyone feel that, if the counsellor/theripst was to go outside with us it would make a difference? Go out side and guide us through a situation(s)? Or has this ever happened for anybody?

Hey, Anyone know a free online site where you can journal privetly? I have been asked by someone for it specifically to be private... Thanks :)

Ohhhh s**t!! I just said yes to attend something that will create HUGE anxiety for me. I will have to sit in a class with other volunteers *ahhhhh* i havnt sat in a class in a year. I suppose it will be good for me if im thinking of going back to college though *silently screaming inside*...

how can i tell the difference, from something that i think actully happened or just me being paroniod? Something happened on saturday night and i am only after thinking about it now. I dont know if what i was hearing was just me being paroniod or not. I know SA can add to paronioa and so can...
