Things are getting hard

I’m really discouraged with my writing. I think I can’t do it any more because i just don’t like myself enough.

I go to therapy and all day i’ve been tired from it so i have just been down and thinking about how down i am all day

i think i might already be getting pre menstrual

I can’t stand how I sound in my head and i have no motivation to do anything to change it. I have no motivation to read or write or watch tv. or occupy myself. My thoughts hurt almost.

feel like moving house (which we might be doing anyway) and changing my whole life again, just re invent myself again, not be a writer and just get this one writing job done and then leave it

Does the therapy seem to be helping you? Sometimes it seems to do the opposite.

Maybe take a break from thinking.

I don’t know
Usually feel better than this
Takes a few sessions maybe
Was helping last time I had six sessions

This is beside the point, but it seems like therapy should be ongoing.

It’s where keeping a journal helps me. Just helps get all the crap out of my head and onto paper. Also worth keeping a pen and pad with you any way. If you over hear some people talking on the train or what ever. It just helps to keep notes while you’re on the go of things you want to add to your writing at a later date. The best ideas come at the most random of times mostly when you don’t expect it. So it’s a writer’s tip to keep pen and paper handy at all times.

With the therapy in a perfect world the tdoc would tell you when it’s time move onto the next therapist. Unfortunately it’s far from a perfect world. So sometimes you have to take that into consideration if your feel you are going no where. It’s also worth getting to know a little of the different therapies that are out there. Counseling mostly helps strengthen your resolve. Where as some of the psychotherapies can go a lot deeper. Which depends greatly on what your trying achieve by going and how much work you want to do on yourself. Then you start getting into the mindful approaches, which have a good success rate even if you only pick up on the basics and are a lot less intrusive.

I hope you feel better soon. In the meanwhile just take things slow to start getting moving and try not to be to hard on yourself.
