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...

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?
