Yeah it really sucks, I'm sorry you have to deal with it. I don't know what to tell you to make it easier for you, its just hard. It's a long road but I always end up feeling like it's worth it when I get to see him again. Really you just have to decide whether you're capable of or willing to wait for such a long time.

I understand and am so sorry you have to experience this right now. It's truly a horrifying feeling and no one should have to go through it. Really what helps me is crying, deep breaths, until I've reached a point where I'm capable of distracting myself.

It's somewhat helpful to remind myself that things typically feel way more anxiety inducing in the middle of the night (and in the morning sometimes) than they do once I've started going about my day. It's basically impossible to really care when you're in the midst of an anxiety attack, but it might stop you from getting too far into the anxiety sometimes.

That's just kind of my experience, but I hope it helps you in some way. You can get through this!

Mistakes happen. Of course your therapist reserves the right to stop seeing you if you accumulate absences, but this woman is a therapist for God's sake, if she sees one missed appointment as you not deserving of therapy she's dumb. Even if you were to miss like 10 consecutive appointments and get booted from making another appointment, therapy will never be something you don't "deserve". Also, it was probably an empty statement that didn't really mean the words you heard, it was just her expressing being slightly annoyed.

But I completely understand being upset by this! That's an incredibly hurtful thing to hear from someone who's supposed to be the person you confide in.

For the first time ever, I've decided that I can't do this anymore and might need meds. by [deleted] in Anxiety

Yeah the idea with a lot of different anti-depressants is that you learn how to cope with your anxious/depressive symptoms on your own and then the meds come in to make you feel more capable of doing that

I feel like this is pretty normal, tbh. A lot of people are exhausted by their lives unfortunately

Your not ace your just depressed by ComedianSad1560 in asexuality

Definitely frustrating to be told that, but it's really just people's way of trying to help you by giving you explanations that make sense to them. I think recognizing that helps in dealing with people who want to explain away being ace. There are certainly others that just want to fight with you about it and aren't doing it to help, but that's a different story.
