    Are you content in your bubble or are you just hiding?

    Honestly, I don't know.

    Hmmmmm, don't discount people who care about you checking in on you :smile: It helps regardless of whether you're in or out of the bubble.

    It's something i want to stop thinking about but can't. I had heard the myths and legends but didn't believe it. It even had its own action verb when it happens to someone.

    I walk in to use the restroom and I see it. A man in his mid 40's, with pants unbuckled down to his ankles and underwear down to his knees, just taking a leak bare bottomed in the work place. The kicker is he had pulled his shirt up and was just gently tickling himself the whole time. This is the stuff of nightmares.

    Sorry...I get lost in thought mind pee.

    That sounds hard. Have you gone to get professional help? Meds can help and so can a good councillor. Hope you can turn it around. Set some goals and something to look forward to, one day at a time and you will get there.

    I’ve been in therapy for almost a year. The clinic I go to is AWFUL, but it’s the only place in my area that takes my insurance. So I’m stuck there for the time being. I’ve been on meds for two years. When I first started taking them they worked like a DREAM. My depression is more situational as opposed to chemical at this point. It’s just something I have to deal with. I’ve just been going through a pretty bad depressive episode this month. I don’t really have anyone to confide in. There’s no real solutions.

    What is that?

    Regression therapy is the process of bringing the unconscious to the conscious.
    It can help you to recall past forgotten or repressed experiences that contain unhealed emotional wounds that are triggering negative symptoms in the present. Like tilling soil and bringing up all the weeds to be cleared away. It has helped me tremendously. I did have to undergo the sometimes excurtiating experience of reliving past traumas... but they went left unresolved for waaay too long. All of those repressed memories and feelings were wreaking havoc on my life as I struggled to understand why I was the way I was. It was a golden thread for me, and if it wasn't draining my bank account I would probably still be doing it. I'm not sure where you live or what is available to you but it's worth looking into. Hopefully you can find a therapist who practices this and have it covered by your insurance.

    Just gotta keep reminding yourself that situations are temporary. Some of us get dealt a bad hand. There is meaning in your suffering, that sounds twisted but you will grow and become a stronger person because of it.

    Amor Fati

    I know how it feels, our situations are different and I don't know you. You have to try and stay positive. Don't give into a confirmation bias and let the negative thinking become a positive feedback loop. Sorry that sounds a lil confusing.

    For the person who has been in therapy for a year:
    SSRIs are notorious for crapping out, and not all of them work for everyone. Ask your prescriber to ease you off the one you are taking and try another one. I went through all the SSRI medications which would stop working within a year. I have been taking Cymbalta for 15 years and it hasn't quit yet. Will your clinic permit you to try a different therapist. I went through 3 before I found the one that really helped me.


    As far as what is on my mind: My stepson seems to believe that there is a magic shortcut to success. He is in his mid-40s with a wife and three kids. He needs to understand that there is no magic - it takes hard work and commitment, and powering through hard times. He's not saving any money for his kids education, nothing towards retirement, has no health insurance. His life is a house of cards that could crash at any moment.
