Treatment

[Ivy White]

So I often wrote about treatment and I was taking it serious for more or less a month then shit hit the fan. Now it's getting increasingly bad, so I took my phone and rang my general practitioner for a visit. I can't function, at all, I have not been able to work for more or less a month now and I just don't manage anymore. So the hunt for a therapist and a psychiatrist starts again, and I hope my gp will write me home for a few days just so I can cry out and collect myself instead of feeling like I'm about to burst into tears at the office. I might try some meds at this point because it's just not funny anymore.

I don't know what happened or why it got so bad. I had this huge huge stress and never really had time to recover from it, and now that I don't have a deadline to press against I feel exhausted and drained about all the time. The only time I don't feel that bad is when I am daydreaming or writing out my daydream stories or just shutting my mind down with mindless facebooking. I feel anxious and disappointed in myself almost non-stop. And I need to pull myself together and I don't know if I'll be able to do it.

Where does the stress come from? This office job does not seem to make you very happy at a first glance. But seriously, look for the root cause, not the medicine...what ails thee?

I'm busy looking for treatment myself. Though it's not all the same, I have had (or I am having) simular experiences. Panicing, a need to do a lot but doing nothing, being angry at myself, being afraid of the future, etc. I can't help, I just want to let you know that you are not alone and I know more or less what it feels. If you feel a need to talk, you can message me ;)

I'm sorry but homeopathy, seriously? It's huge quackery. Traditional medicine is not always a proper response but I'm not going to take sugar balls coated with nothings and pretend it might somehow work.

Anyhow, sorry about my tone. I can get really angry about homeopathy, which is lumped together with other alternative medicines that, you know, actually do something.

If I were you, I'd forget about psychologists and psychiatrists for a short while and instead find a good homeopath or someone serious specializing in alternative medicine who's going to help you deal with physical damage done from stress which is apparently huge. Since you're feeling drained all the time, your body needs serious replenishing before your mind can get better.
