Kkasxo,

I know those evenings all too well. They are not easy. You’re in anguish because deep down you want to move forward I think. One way or another. You know what your head and friends are telling you but the heart wants what it wants. Maybe the decision is to go with the heart to at least put to bed all the anguish over trying to choose. If it works, great, if it doesn’t, at least you tried and then time to follow the head?

As for medication- do you realise you ARE doing it by yourself by seeking such help. My therapist pointed out that I had the wherewithall to realise I was struggling and my brain needed an extra hand to get out of the woods. I’ll still feel, but it takes the unmanageability out of it. And I don’t intend to stay on them, it’s just a helping aid for a difficult period in my life. Well done you thinking about all possible ways to help yourself. You’re not giving up- don’t you see? You’re fighting, in whatever small way. You WANT to feel better and are not hiding under the bed for months on end, so give yourself credit!

Victoria,

Those were great tips for Kkasxo and I hope you’re doing okay too.

I enjoy walks with my friend as we can talk about anything. He’s very deep and we often end up talking philosophically! But he never makes me feel bad for anything I feel and really try’s to understand things when I say them to him, which I really appreciate.
