Trigger - Cute joke followed by some self images.
Demons2011 posted:
After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, "No hablo ingles."
Unfortunately there is some truth to this as well. When trying to find the "right psychiatrist or counselor it feels like you're speaking another language. Perhaps I am. Can't seem to make a connection with one.
I know I don't reach out in confidence with ease. I don't have a real positive self image. I frequently feel worthless, hopeless and unworthy.
I have a number of issues I never had in the past like facing and dealing with problems, procrastination to the 10th power. Not being use to failure at most things, I am having a real difficult time facing my self or others. Having depression feels like being a failure. I am having a very difficult time coping with the over whelming feelings of failure.
I know I have to get off my A** and deal with the problems I created but even calling the insurance company to see how much coverage is available is a challenge. [br>
There are times when............ I need to get off line and calm myself down.

I can relate to all those feelings you are having. I wish I could tell you what to do to start feeling better. I'm still trying to figure that out myself. Come back here and vent when you are ready. We will be here for you. Take Care.

I know those feelings all to well. I am really struggling right now to do anything too. One thing someone told me " just take it one day at a time." of course u need to try to push urself. Just don't overwhelm yourself. Keep using resources like this to vent to people who get it. Eventually you'll find a therapist who you connect with.

D,
Did your therapist say that in a joking way to communicate that he just didn't get you? Not sure if I would be happy to hear that or hurt after 12 years.
How many counselors have you tried?
I count myself extremely lucky in that the first psychologist I tried, I felt like I really connected with. I'm sure that's pretty rare so I'm going to count my blessings there. I can't afford to go to him right now but it's nice to know he's there.
I hear you on the failure feelings. I wonder if it's harder for men since they are encouraged to always be working, doing something, making something, or being productive in some way. Just in broad generalities, a woman who is a homebody is maybe not looked at the same way as a man who is a homebody. JMO.
But, it's all the same, it's no worse if you are having issues with procrastination than if I'm having those same issues.
I hope the sun breaks soon for you, D.

A. Mom being classified in the past A type personality makes it more difficult for women or men I would imagine. It was a joke on the counselor part with the no English but it feels that way trying to communicate what you think is going on with yourself.

Yes I would imagine that would be the hardest, the type A thing. I was never type A, so I guess it's easier to rationalize that I'm not that bad, etc when I compare with my normal self. But with type A's I bet it's very stark contrast.
