How to deal with parents? What's a psych ward like? Why do I feel better before seeing someone?
Added 2017-08-07 05:26:53 +0000 UTC1. How to deal with parents that don't want to listen about my mental health issues or don't want to understand them. I have tried talking and they just don't listen, change the subject or get cross at me. In the past when my mum found about about me SH she got cross and said I was only doing because my friend is.
2. What's it like the first time you go to a psych ward? AKA the hospital - for suicidal thoughts/feeling unsafe and harming self/wanting to harm self more? I am scared to but I think I need to. I'm going to talk to my therapist in IOP tomorrow morning and tell her about these thoughts and feelings of needing to admit myself. I'm just scared.

3. Can you tell me if it's normal to start feeling better before you can get in to see a professional? What I mean is, sometimes you get bad so you reach out and make an appt, but before it comes, you start to feel okay and kinda dumb for making the appointment. Is this common or just me? Thank you so much!

Is there a full video (10-12 min) for dealing with Parents?

2018-08-05 07:40:48 +0000 UTCthat last question was so helpful for me! thank you Kati 😍 I often find this as well with the gaps between my sessions with my therapist.. like the day after my session i feel really bad but by the time it comes around to my next session i feel so much better and wonder if i should be going to therapy at all! sometimes i feel like therapy just makes things worse, since i feel better the longer i go between sessions, but i guess if i stopped going completely maybe my PTSD would get out of control again.. i don't know 🤷🏻♀️

2017-08-07 19:29:03 +0000 UTCThanks for answering! I think it was honestly a bit of both. I did go a few days of not being great to one day feeling quite a bit better in episodic fashion. But, you were really right though on the second part, My thoughts about the different triggers went from "I'm trapped this is awful" to "just a couple weeks and we'll get help processing it" and you're right that probably played the biggest part. Thanks again for your answer!
