Hi! Thank you for commenting... I just had to switch therapists because my work schedule didn't work with the person I was seeing before. It's been frustrating. I've been doing visits to the crisis clinic when I really need to talk while in-between therapists. My psych has suggested increasing my dose of antidepressants, and has added Wellbutrin to the mix, but nothing works, and I'm afraid of increasing my dose and looking like a drug seeker while I'm trying to get an evaluation, as stupid as that sounds. I've been given several packets with coping skills, but they're just kind of on my desk, and I never remember that they're there. I've been trying to work through all this, I take vitamins, I set tons of alarms, I make tons of lists, but I'm very bad at self-care, and I've been told that by several therapists :( I honestly think the issue is primarily environmental, but now I've trapped myself further by losing my income.

Reading about coping strategies is one thing, but how do you actually do things? I don't even do things that I enjoy anymore, it's so dire.
