hello everyone

I hope you are all ok today I have been in therapy for a lot of years now and while I know I am very lucky my therapist has some health problems and because of this I have had some appointments cancelled on more than a few occasions and I am certainly not complaining about this even though it has a negative effect on me as I know the service is woefully underfunded and stretched my point is this my therapist always makes me promise if they are not around that I will use the emergency numbers and get help but although I share here the thought of trying to tell a stranger a compressed version of my problems fills me with fear and makes me anxious thinking about so I would like to ask anyone for their experiences in this area and how do you help yourself if things start to feel really bad

many thanks

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

I struggle as well, but tend to deal with it alone. If I'm depressed, I will actually cancel the CPN appointment. When I'm depressed, everything takes so much effort. Meeting anyone, just adds to the strain.

If you are already under the MH services, they will have basic notes about who you are and what problems you have. The crisis Team that you call will have access to that file. If you're feeling so bad and need that contact, try not to worry about needing to tell a stranger everything. They're experienced enough to lead you forward with very few words.

One thing your therapist did not say, which mine would of is to come on here also and get some validation for yourself. I found just talking to people on here who understood genuinely really helped me out in some dark times. Especially when my T cancelled.

Talking is still the best therapy for many I think. It not only helps others to understand you and bring you closer to a support network, but it also helps you to understand depression and how it affects you more. We don't tend to talk to others much as many don't really understand or want the added stress of someone who is down all the time. When we come here, its easier to write how we feel and this allows us to understand how the illness affects us more.

For me, and I suspect many others, its crucial to keep talking whenever we can as it can help to vent the feelings we need to and understand when we need time to ourselves.
