Phillipa, I do like gardenergirl's advice re: CBT to acquire tools to handle things in the now rather than start by focusing on past as this is what I am currently doing with my new psychologist, I am finding it quite helpful, and you know it is also giving me a feeling of accomplishment that I am proactively doing things, however small they may be, to help myself feel better. I was skeptical of CBT once too, but with a skilled therapist it is extremely helpful for me. And I agree that it can be beneficial to go over past but as gg said, having tools first = much better success at interpreting the past. Hopefully soon you find the right therapist for you. Love, Val
> GG wow a lot to remember. Blood level checked by endo again today. They keep lowering my synthroid as my levels have become hyper from hypo for some reason. Eye check in a month as I had lasix surgery so had to wait for one of them. It's a racing of my eyes across the page like it can't read fast enough. No the dying feeling is mental. As I can't think of a thing to do with my life as nursing is over (another story).The feeling mentally is that I want to just sleep. No enthusiasm for a thing. And I agree about the agoraphobia. When I go out I just do it and crumple later inside. And feel guilty for feeling the way I do as I get criticized for it. love Phillipa
