Title: What has worked for you? How and why? Many thanks
Post by: pippapoppa on December 19, 2011, 03:08:08 PM

I would be really interested in knowing which of all the cures/remedies etc. have actually worked for people and how have they helped.  I feel as though I am turning in circles as to which direction to take.  Many thanks

For me its a combination of medication (citralopram), couselling and allowing myself to rest as much as I can when my body/ brain needs to

agree with Zaf, i think my medication balanced me enough to be able to accept help. The group psycotherapy got me into a place where i wasn't alone, and the one-to-one therapy really nailed the treatment as i had nowhere to run in the sessions! Group sessions are good, but i found if i didnt want to talk i didnt have to - i could hide - in one-to-one i cant do that!

That's what stresses me out about group work, one to one i can handle, my psychological adviser  ::) said i was not ready for cognitive therapy as he did't think i could handle the tasks.


the thing is i do not care enough or feel motivated to do anything, if my family ask for something i try to oblige we are full of fake but respectful responses in our house.
