The one thing I think needs saying.....Awwww :-( . The one thing I think needs saying... a good therapist won't tell you what to do. Certainly not sit in the livingroom and watch horrible shows, spending too much time with a person you don't like spending a lot of time with.<br /><br />A good therapist isn't going to help you get to Your Mother's Idea of a Healthy Life. She will help you get to Your Idea of a Healthy Life, given your current circs. And she WILL NOT and CANNOT make you take meds!! That's your choice. A good therapist is a mirror, helping you see into your heart... not a drill sergeant.<br /><br />But. All the same. Only when and if you're ready. :-) I think the only person you need to be afraid of is yourself! If you think YOU are going to tell yourself to leave your room and go join a bookclub or a local lipgloss club, and you're not ready to hear youself say that yet :-D then that is coooool. You'll know when you're ready.<br /><br />But ignore the voice that's saying you'll have to watch the Wheel of Fortune. YIKES! Unless you have a deep dark yearning for W of F, that voice is not yours', it's your mom's.<br /><br />In the meantime... maybe it's not hiding but cocooning. Nurturing. :-) I am sending you much book vibes and Betty love and lip glossiness to aid you in your time of need. Take care sweetie.<br /><br />Your pal in bookliness,<br />MabelzLondon Mabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344685160375710889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32289702.post-65646972253327556972011-05-05T11:00:26.963-05:002011-05-05T11:00:26.963-05:00I agree with Julie that, in your situation, I woul...I agree with Julie that, in your situation, I wouldn't be handling things nearly as well as you seem to be doing. I also agree with bettyfokker that interacting with the PERFECT THERAPIST for you could be enormously helpful. Now, finding that perfect therapist can be difficult, but for me, it was well worth the search. <br /><br />You know, you have a right to grieve for your lost space, for your lost place. That's completely normal and grief doesn't have an expiration date. If someone says, "Hey, you've been here awhile, you should be forgetting about Houston", they're wrong. You're going through a loss and trying to cope with pain and ailments that would flatten most people. I think you're amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32289702.post-19399637488321618422011-05-05T01:59:56.169-05:002011-05-05T01:59:56.169-05:00I've had depression for almost 30 years now, a...I've had depression for almost 30 years now, and I know that sometimes what I wanted and what I needed were different things. I wanted to hole up, but I needed to interact to keep form slipping farther in. It's hard. FGBVs that you find what you need.

So, I have some qualifications for the following assvice.<br />You don't need therapy right now. You are correct in thinking that it won't help with what ails ya at the moment. Sure staying in your room is not the best solution, but it seems to be keeping your grasp on sanity by giving you the space you need in a very limiting situation. You are living in a really uncomfortable way right now, by necessity, and not by your own making. When you are ready to seek outside help, or solutions, you'll know it. (Deargawd you are doing far better than I would in this situation!)<br />I'll tell you the same thing I've told others, reach out, to those you know will support you, we are here.<br />JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32289702.post-79437727115660017512011-05-04T20:49:41.873-05:002011-05-04T20:49:41.873-05:00I have nothing for you but a great big hug.
