Where does one shop around. I heard of the app talk space wonder if it’s any goodI have. I would tell you to shop around before committing too one that best suits you. The one I had seemed more entertained about what I had to say instead of helping.

Yes. Had a rough rough year in 2021. Obvious pandemic stress/depression plus my dad died in February, and my GF’s mom battled cancer all year and just died 2 weeks ago.
was having some bad thoughts so I reached out through my work and started seeing a professional therapist with my GF. It’s helped tremendously. There were a lot of things about myself I didn’t realize were harmful or causing setbacks.
Wish I would have done this years ago. It’s pretty unhealthy to just white knuckle mental health problems yourself. Leave that to the experts. Trust the process, if you have the means.
Salute. I feel like once I step in that room imma spill out everything lol. They don’t know me from a hole in the wall imma be super open lolI do. I’ve been meaning to since the last two years. A few months back in June I decided to be proactive and get the ball rolling on talking to one. I wasn’t necessarily in a funk at the moment, however since I was in a good mood I decided to talk just in case I reached a low point. Otherwise, whenever I’m down my ego gets in the way, and I always think I can address my struggle on my own. Boy was I wrong.
I’ve had three sessions so far this summer, and my mental and physical health has progressed since. I’ve lost about 15lbs since because I was able to just stick to a routine that didn’t exhaust me. I also opened up to close ones about how I was seeing a therapist, and to my surprise most of them were already or thinking of talking to one.
I’ve arranged to meet with my therapist monthly, just to update them on how I’ve been even if things now are better than they have been in years. It’s good to talk to a professional who’s career is catered to these types of things. They have procedures that will alleviate things that aren’t necessarily going your way. Some of these procedures are like super obvious, but again sometimes it’s our own selves who won’t allow us do the obvious.
You’d just have to build a good relationship with your therapist; be comfortable talking about the uncomfortable. It’s okay to breakdown to a stranger; however this stranger will do more than listening, they’ve devoted their life to these kinds of things. It’s never wrong to address your mental health, it’s just the next steps in overcoming it.
That last sentence jumped out at me, I was you about two years ago. My wife got the ball rolling on marital counseling, i was super hesitant but I agreed. We mainly focused on communication for the past year or so. One of my best friends was killed during the time in counseling. I let his death go unchecked, the pandemic happened, I was stressed due to where we live and being a super minority, so much was happening that I wasn’t communicating at all. I didn’t realize I was depressed and anxious for the past two years, couple that with not getting along with my wife and everyday parent stuff it got to me too much. I ended up having a breakdown and ended up doing shameful things. Please do not let your mental health get to a bad spot. Literally saying your emotions or what’s bothering you out loud to yourself helps a ton.I'm on the wellness committee at my job, I encourage everyone to go see a therapist even if I don't. It's not for everyone. Talking to people just stresses me out more.
I like the idea of having someone to talk to.
I think we really don’t have that nowadays with the distance, work, etc.
Does Kaiser cover it? I usually just listen to Jordan Peterson if i need a mental break or reminder.

I’ve said those exact words, I can relateI dunno I think it's just a personality issue with me, when I'm stressed out or having a bad week people are the last thing I want to be around. Too much negative chi, even with people that mean well.
The gym and walks in solitude help a lot with stress and anxiety. You just gotta find what works for you and for many people talking to someone helps tremendously
It’s definitely a stage. I’ve been through that, and my pride got the best of me. Eventually it trickled down and I became cathartic, having life-ending thoughts. I knew how to do it and where, but I never brought myself there. Suddenly I would cry then laugh it off, I knew instantly that this drastic mood shift wasn’t healthy . This was the last anxious episode I had before things started getting better; probably two months before meeting with my therapist.I really hope this thread helps people who think they can keep **** bottled to seek some sort of help. I used to be one of them not talking to anyone and letting **** just bottle in. It’s not healthy and we’re all human.
