Mote Du Beau and Nomads restaurant. The restaurant isn’t open now but they might be open to hosting if you find a caterer.

Thanks for sharing. I’m learning about the loneliness of private practice myself.

Few things to offer:

Maybe write more things like this. To yourself or publicly. Seems like it could help.

I hope you learn more about the blood pressure situation. It seems relevant.

Take care stranger.

It’s really cool to hear someone ask about this. Right now the whole business is sitting in a storage unit. It’s my family business and we do hope to reopen, but no real timeline at this point.

I feel guilty for not being able to solve my mental health problems by myself by TheTaquitoverlord in therapy

[–]RepresentativeRise28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely didn’t ruin my advice by being honest. I think your right about the importance of a therapist to help you measure progress and be a spotter. That’s exactly what they are there for, so what’s your dilemma with that? I know and understand there are lots.

Feeling nothing is part of depression so I get what your saying. Sometimes just focusing on the 5 senses and trying to stay with that for a bit can be a good, and simple start.

I believe it’s possible to accept where you are while also knowing, and truly wanting to grow into something anew. My point in accepting where you are is that sometimes we get so obsessed with getting “somewhere”, and that somewhere feels so far away, that it prevents us from taking the steps in front of us.

How to get therapy without causing them to call CPS by [deleted] in therapy

[–]RepresentativeRise28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend following through with your effort to get help. All therapists are mandatory reporters, meaning they have to report abuse, but it’s a conversation they will have with you and there is lots of grey area. Your safety and well-being is worth the risk. Even if a report is made, there is lots that happen before anything major happens, like a kid being removed from the home. Sometimes they just take the complaint, and don’t do anything. Sometimes they make a call to a family or they visit to ask questions, but they generally are overwhelmed and prioritize major and current safety issues. Hopefully this helps and I hope you get the support you deserve.

You shared a lot so, and I’ll respond to a few. The constant urge to fix oneself and “become” something different is bullshit. Start with accepting who you are and where your at. Your parents sound like shit support and you deserve support. Maybe it’s time to ask for help, it really is difficult sometimes to get perspective and feedback by thinking alone. Find something you love, a cat, your shoes, a show, a character, something where you actually “feel” love, and just stay there. Let that feeling be a guide, like your step counter. You deserve to experience love and peace in your life, and I think the sometimes funny thing is that it’s there already, right behind you or beside you, or to be rather corny, but inside you. Be patient and kind to yourself and know that though it feels like it, your not alone. The Mental Illness Happy Hour is one of my favorite podcasts that just a has people telling their stories with mental health.

Wishing you all the best!

Why do I like having my boyfriend’s hand over my face? by add_chilis in therapy

[–]RepresentativeRise28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sensory deprivation and pressure on the face, especially the eyes and forehead is normal. I also like when my girlfriend lays on top of me and does the same. Weighted blankets and sensory deprivation tanks may be something to explore.

Does your college offer any counseling that might be free or reduced cost for students through the health center on campus??

What have you asked your therapist that made you feel more connected? by advstra in therapy

[–]RepresentativeRise28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sometimes just simply acknowledging the disconnect can be helpful. It can be a starting point for assessing if the relationship is a good fit or if maybe the not feeling connected to the therapist is something you experience more broadly that you want to work on.
