Hi all
Good morning all. I’m Ezri. 41. Recently left my abusive parter after he tried to force me to have a kid. I’ve been caring for my dad who has a terminal illness and my mom who has mobility issues. I moved back home. I have an apartment on my parents property. I am here for support with that, but also I have long standing experiences with depression and PTSD. Sadly, when I left my ex, I also had to leave my very great therapist and my new therapist isn’t as amazing.
@bubblePerson2321 hi I'm also 41 :D thanks for sharing and nice to meet you
@bubblePerson2321wow, that sounds like a lot of changes and responsibility for you- ending an abusive relationship, caring for your father, staying so close to your parents and the conflicts and feelings that must bring.
Im sorry you've had to switch therapists and that it isnt going so great. Sometimes, certain people dont "mesh" or connect well, or have different approaches and ideas. It can be helpful to look around at all your options, or consult with a few different professionals, before you find someone that "clicks."
Have you looked into 7cups online therapy options? I realize it is not affordable for everyone, just an idea. It can also be helpful to find a long-term listener who can check-in with you on a regular basis. You can even type in a keyword and search for those who have lived experience with things like PTSD, family stress, or anxiety. Click here: www.7cups/BrowseListeners/
