bruces

I know I don't have the worst hand in the world but I'm in a position where I have too much too handle,the mental issues coupled with unexplained chest and leg pains are proving too much for me and sleep is getting harder and harder. on the face of it I should have a good life but I'm actually not getting any quality of life,but I'm sure there are many people the same.

No I havnt done anything regarding treatment since my last therapist,she informed me I needed weekly therapy for the rest of my life at £70 s go

Maybe I don't know

Yes an unforgiving illness and sadly a battle that can't be won,sadly that's bound to have an effect on your prospects.

It's an incredibly interesting and frustrating topic when you start think about existentialism

Not really I'm just wondering if those two types of people can compare

I know people who have achieved great things,businesses etc and I know how committed they have been to get that far and also how much self belief they have. And I also know a guy who has BI-polar and is constantly in and out of hospital,surely the second guy is never going to achieve what the first guy did?

Can you achieve the things healthy minded people achieve in out situation? I read somewhere that people with mental illness will always underachieve is this true?

Hi guys sorry I havnt replied to your advice I just to have a lot of family problems going on right now,which as usual I am blowing out of proportion!

Hi there yes I've done the depressinbtests many times,over the years I've been very lucky to have had a lot of therapy but sadly to no avail,I'm guessing this is down to me and no the therapy.

Thanks or your great reply caramoole,up until about 4 weeks ago I was having private cbt but I stopped for two reasons 1,it was so expensive and 2,I felt I wasn't really doing anything other than spilling my woes out every week. When you talk of satisfaction I also find myself looking into the past with rude tinted glasses,I was still unwell but had a lot more going on,I havnt been able to make the transition in to my middle area very well.

Yes I ruminate all day long,try to distract myself but even work doesn't seem to be able to channel my energy. Its a viscous circle of negative thinking which is destroying me physically as well. Whilst im NOT at danger to myself I'm really not getting the point of life.

I'm sorry for this post I e tried not to post but this morning got too much and I put it on! Very sorry x

I'm sorry if it seems I'm wasting people's time again but I just can't understand what I'm here for? Does that make any sense? Sorry for the silly post.

Good post,glad your getting on mate

I just wish there was happiness for us all.

I'm unsure as to purpose is anymore,if that makes any sense I feel like I'm just drifting like a zombie with no direction!

Oh how must it feel to REALLY live!

Can excessive worry and stress ever become fatal?

I try to ignore them but doesn't seem to stop them

Bit of a vicious circle as you worry yourself silly then worry again over what the worrying is doing to you! Personally I'd say I worry from the minute I open my eyes till I close them.

What kind of illness can it create?

Sorry I forgot to ask what exactly is "spoking"?

I had 3 sessions,it was kind of just a talking therapy I didn't get any homework or anything,like I did in previous therapies.

Sorry I'm not being rude I'm just trying to think what to say to people,I was having private cbt a few weeks ago but wasn't working for me.
