Psychologists don't tend to avoid treating with medication, they don't have the right to (at least in Australia)

Damn 2pac has some good music...

Agreed. Water Temple will sort her out

It worked for link:

I always interpreted this fight as Link's purification: he defeated his dark side, personified in a mirror image of himself. By defeating his dark self he confronted his demons. The water temple is symbolic of Kiki's struggle. Ultimately, Link survived and saved hyrule from complete and utter desctruction and Kiki can do the same.









:lol: I'm a muppet

Yeah but they can refer you to a psychiatrist if they want to treat with medication.

and try to avoid being idle, thats when depression can take over

stay busy whether its work or just exercise

long walks are as good as anything, not too strenuous and reduces stress

 

[Kiki]

thanks DKOR. and the rest of you. you guys are so sweet! much love xxx

the thing is, i am already on medication for depression. i have been on and off since i was 16. i have a psyche but i only see him maybe 3 time a year and it doesn't do much for me.

ive tried counsellers but with not much success.

the fact i have a diagnosed condition and im on meds, yet i still continue to self destruct with booze is so embarassing but i just don't know how to deal with any of my issues in a healthy way i guess.

Yep, because it's when you're idle that the thoughts kick in and the rumination begins. When you're engaged in something there's no opportunity for those thoughts to creep in.

I think only GP's can refer you in Australia

On a related note, the girls taking psychology classes at uni are farkin hot as

 

[Martli]

Most of my classes were about 70% chicks. Typical lab = me and maybe 1 or 2 other guys :lol:

what ever you do, dont skip your meds, you say you've been off them

you sound like to still have unresolved issues yet you have a shrink that is doing nothing for you

try another shrink or another counsellor until you find some one that does something for you, you cant leave things unresolved they wont go away till you address them

bottom line, get the right help

 

[Kiki]

oh no i'm good at taking my meds now. ive found a good one that is better than ones before but obviously they aren't gonna solve issues, just keep me stable

Sassy always thinks i'm in denial and try to hide everything and avoid dealing with stuff, she's probably right. i guess even if im not thinking about stuff everyday it just eats away slowly and has to come out somehow

i want to find a good counseller but the last one i went to about 2 months ago, i told him about something awful that happened to me as a teenager and he asked all the details and if i 'enjoyed' it. seriously i ran out of there, i was so upset and felt violated and sick to my stomach.

 

[StormChaser]

f**k me! He should be struck off!!!
Keeks, I had Bulimia for about six years and I know all about being in a f**ked head space. The others are right, you need to be referred to someone GOOD, I know it's like a needle in a haystack out there, but it's worth pursuing with your GP. ((big hugs))

 

[Joker's Wild]

Ugh, that is bloody awful Kiks

Im gonna take a stab here and guess alot of your issues centred around men yeah? (You dont have to confirm or deny here on a public forum). Sounds like you need to get alot of stuff out into the open to begin dealing with it properly. You dont have to actually speak to anyone per se but perhaps writing it down will help you see it from another perspective and perhaps getting someone you trust to read over it to provide another point of view.

Matters like these are tough, especially when they centre around trust, but sometimes opening up to those close to you can give you some direction on where to go from here.

My heart goes out to you babe

 

[Hallatia]

I'm not suggesting that particular shrink's methods were right, but shrinks know that often times it is important for you to be able to talk about those awful things, even if the details are hard to get into, letting them out is good for you. IT helps to be able to talk about the really awful things, because keeping them bottled up inside is a lot worse, and a trained professional is the perfect person to talk to about them.

 

[Martli]

Maybe look for a female shrink though.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

tbh I think too many people trying to help & give advice is a problem in itself

 

[Martli]

Well, it's all been pretty much the same: Go see a professional.
