Un-fricken-believable! I'd swear on my life, right here as I sit, that you have to be one of the strongest women I know. Do you know that today, on my way to class I had to stop myself three different times from walking in front of traffic? And I was whining and complaining how very much my life is pathetic, that I just can't take care of myself, blah blah blah.... And then, I open your post and remember all the struggles that you face and it reminds me that you are such a very strong and courageous woman and I have no business at all for even thinking that I should stop trying. Now listen up.... You've helped me so much today, and I want to help you... (And under normal circumstances I would never, ever admit how I was feeling earlier, so please don't comment on it either, ok??? I'd rather just erase it from my memory.)
Are you able to find another therapist anywhere? A different city? Somewhere perhaps a bit further away even? Also, you need to find out who is in charge and RIP that person a NEW ONE!!! Now, I'm not one to normally do this type of thing, but in this case, it is completely warranted and deserved! Is there even a community mental health service you could try? Anything? I also agree with contacting NAMI and explaining the situation. They could be a great advocate for you and your mental health. If you need help with that, please don't hesitate to let someone, anyone know. This jacking you around has got to stop, and you need to let them know that you WILL NOT tolerate it any further!!!! Listen, you really have helped me today and I want you to know I appreciate it. You'll get through this and you'll be an even stronger person for it. I applaud you (literally!!!!) *clappppppppssssssss!!!!!!!!* Now, get online and get NAMI's number!!! NOW!
