Re: On Behalf of my Lovely Joy xx
Joy sounds like a real fighter, she battles on regardless and I have great admiration and respect for her. It takes courage and shows her strength of character in forging on with her life and helping out at her church and Charity shops shows her selfless commitment to living her life and helping others the best that she can.
I agree that maybe depression could be a factor in what has hindered her lately..I know from my own experience that depression can really screw things up and affect you in ways which only enhances the anxiety you feel.
Please tell her, that she can survive this... she is strong.. and that she must not give up hope.. or faith. She is lucky to have you as her friend, she her family too .. she has a support network around her and I feel with all this and her own determination she will overcome this dark time.
I think also, that will all the drugs she has been trying and coming off of, may have played a major role too in how she is feeling of late..also, it can be soo soul destroying to have a therapist or psyc treat you in such an uncompassionate way!.. I don't speak from exp on this, but I do have a friend who also had a therapist who treated her really badly and said some awful things to her. ..
I do so hope that she will find the right medication to help her and the therapist soon.. if she could get these two things in her life then should could begin to move forward once more.. unfortunatly it seems its going to be trial and error untill then maybe.
Anyhoo.. I send her my biggest Huggles xx
