What's on Your Mind

[ceez]

@ceez From what I hear Dr. Daniel has taken down his shingle and is now only involved in nonprofessional pursuits. Perhaps you should contact your therapist for at least one more session to discuss the alternatives.

@ceez Keep going if you can. Some therapists can do sliding scales, allow you to pay when you can, etc. If the therapist is helping you then keep going. Dr. Daniels isn't very good at his job and will most certainly make things worse.

Here's the thing about drinking. It's fine if you do it every once in a while, say once a week, have a few drinks, get a lil buzz, relax a little, etc. If it takes an entire bottle of Jack to get you there then that might be a problem. I don't know, not judging, just something to be aware of and to have control over. Not promoting drugs or illegal things but if weed is legal in your state/country, might be a better alternative aside from the smoking part. Bottom line is, anything can become a problem, food, weed, alcohol, whatever it is. People say oh you can't get addicted to weed, oh yes you can and it became central to my life for a few years and it kind of messed me up for a while.

That all being said, do what is best for you for the long game. If therapy works, keep doing it, work something out with the therapist if you can, be careful about vices like alcohol, even something seemingly harmless like pot can be a problem. We're all here if you ever feel like talking too, my door is always open.

I have been drinking less since I started therapy again, now I just do it on days when depression/anxiety get bad. I did enjoy peice of a cookie with a "special" ingredient in it and it was nice to wake up without a headache and my stomach in knots.

Thanks guys
