has anyone else been through and seeing a psychotherpist? i have been seeing mone for just over a year now. this year i honestly believe has been the hardest year of my life so far. at the moment i feel so completely cut off from reality, i don't think i can put into words what i feel like. i feel like i am living in a dream constantly. today is horrible. but i have managed to get out of the house and go shopping for about a hour.
back to the psychotherapy...i was told that things would get worse before they get better. so i started the therpay last october i think...and i did begin to find the therapy made me feel better to begin with and last christmas i was positive and felt things were beginning to imporve for me. then this year things have gradually gone down hill. i had a mini crisis back in march where i thought i would kill myself and went to stay with my father for three days, i just couldnt go out but it passed almost straight away. then in july i had a huge panic attack in the cinema and my sleep began to suffer, having dreams and generally feeling shattered... that passed. recently i have hit an all time low and am crying all the time. took some time off work to rest up and went back this week. on my second day back i broke down in tears in my office. my boss took me to one side and asked what was wrong and i explained that i am going through a hard time at the mo, he was really shocked as he said that my work is great adn you would have no idea that there is anything wrong...
i guess i just wanna know the therapy is helping me? and that i am not going to be stuck in this hell forever??? i am just wanting to know if anyone else has got to the end of psychotherapy and seen the benefits?
