Struggling in-between therapy sessions
Hey everyone, ive been seeing a therapist for a couple months now and things are great when we are in our sessions. However, ive been really struggling in-between our sessions. I have no one to talk to at home and i feel real empty/ lonely when im not with my therapist. I see her for 1 hour a week and some weeks i can barely manage to get through. Im wondering if anyone else feels this way. Im also hoping to find friends through this site since i dont have any. Im hoping that talking to someone will make it easier to get through the week. So please feel free to reply if you relate to this or maybe you just want a friend to talk to.
@ScottGambit
it is difficult getting through things alone and im happy you decided to join cups 🤗 happy to talk to you more.. how was today for yoU?
@Optimisticempath ive been dealing with a headache all day so I've just been laying around watching tv shows. Im feeling better now though. How was your day?
It will be easier to start conversation with people,your therapies and therapist will start to annoy you.Hang in there,probably your therapist would said this to you before baby steps (i hated when my therapist was using the phrase 'baby steps'😕)
I am unbelievably depressed. I keep crying myself to sleep every night. I feel so lost without my therapist and I can't contact her inbetween sessions. I dont know what to do. I can't stop crying. I can't keep living like this.
@ScottGambit :( have you tried talking to listeners here? maybe the rooms too? to keep company when you need it ...💕
@Optimisticempath sorry for the late reply but yes ive talked to some listeners and they've been great. Also i talked to my therapist today and am feeling a lot better now. Thank you for caring 💜
@ScottGambit noo it's ok to take time ...im not really regular either 😅 but im glad you found helpful listeners and felt. better after taking to your therapist also💜💜
Yes, I can relate a lot. I also don't have a lot of support due to toxic family. Something that helps me a lot is going to online support groups (through NAMI in the US). I go to Sharing Circle on here sometimes. I struggle a lot though because I am in a very intense graduate program and often skip the groups when I have exams and feel like I need the time to study.
@Daydreamer47 thank you for sharing Day, its really nice having someone to relate to. Im sorry to hear about your struggles, I believe your studying will payoff and you will eventually find time to be with your groups. If you ever feel lonely or anything and need someone to talk, you can talk to me anytime about anything 💜 i also get pretty lonely so i would be more than happy to talk :)
@ScottGambit @ScottGambit Hey I also feel lonely sometimes too. I just had a Abad breaks up with a friend guy listener and sometimes I'll cry. Maybe we could talk?
