There are times when I feel out of place..
I got the idea to start a community for those of us who feel sometimes like we don't belong.. anywhere.

A Place To Belong

It's brand new and need members.. [hint hint]

Hello helpinghearts!!

We are writing to tell you about a new online support forum we have launched called 'Caring Souls'. It is a forum for anyone who needs somewhere to feel heard and supported. It is also somewhere where counsellors and psychotherapists and indeed anyone in a caring profession can come to support others, to support each other, and to meet other like minded people. We have built the forum and now would like to watch it evolve – it is you – the people who join and talk there, who will make it into a place that is safe, caring and supportive.

The founders are both passionate about counselling – one is an experienced counsellor in private practice and the other is a counsellor in training with a huge knowledge of therapy and mental health issues through her own experiences.

Please come and have a look round – you can tell us as little or as much about yourselves, can use your own name or a pseudonym, you can even have a link to your own website if you wish. We would welcome your input, your ideas and suggestions, as well as any articles or information that you think would be helpful to others. It is possible just to come in and have a look as a guest although joining allows you greater access to the boards (but that doesn't mean you have to commit to anything you don't want to do – there is no pressure). The forum is free to join.

Why not give it a try? - you will be given a very warm welcome!

Our web address is: http://caringsouls.proboards92.com

If you have any enquiries and would like to e mail us our e mail address is [email protected]

We look forward to having you on board!

With kind regards

The Caring Souls Team

Hey everyone

So yeah, that seminar I went to was more about people sharing the fact depression doesn't need to last forever, and one guy who couldn't sing I'm very sorry to say. Nothing on drugs to help, mostly the things we've talked about here :P Yoga, meditation, affirmations, journals, etc...etc...

It was uplifting enough :) btw, I found a book for, not those suffering from depression, but those living with those who are trying to make it through.

"How You Can Survive When They're Depressed" by Anne Sheffield It's worth reading so check it out. :D

Anyhow, that's all for now guys.

Ciao

Tracking

Hi.

I have a situation that is ongoing which I am trying to resolve. I was seen by a psychiatrist who honestly appeared to be a dumb ass back in September 07, and finally my family doctor let me have a copy of said report.

Now, my last appointment went:
Me "I'd like to talk to you about bipolar"
Dr "Pffffft, you're not bipolar, don't even think about it."

Now it's been about a week since my appointment, and immediately after said appointment I read indepth the report from the psychiatrist. It states I am Bipolar Type II in remission and suggests mood stabilizers if I am still having issues with my mood.

Well gee... I tried to check myself into the hospital because I felt unsafe with myself, yesterday I wanted to cut and tried to... (luckily or not so luckily the item was too blunt to do more than scratch). I think I am still having issues with my moods being weird.

So, I wanted to start charting my moods but I'm just not sure how to go about it. I know there are some that exist out there already but I am wondering if someone would like to help me make a custom one... Or give me some suggestions...

I know I need to find a way to track variables that will show my family doctor that I am cycling in some way, or that my moods are bounding around for no reason, but I also need to track psychosis issues as well, and medication.

Any thoughts?

Seminar

I'm going to be going to several depression seminars within the next two weeks, and how psychiatrists and pharmacists are updating their methods for depression. I'm gonna take lots of notes for all of us here :P

Intro

Hi. My name's Jen. I have anxiety issues that I struggle with everyday. One thing that is causing a lot of anxiety for me is going back to work Monday. It's been since the middle of September since I've worked. It's Saturday and Monday is so close. I am supposed to go back to work for 5:30 and work until midnight. My supervisor will be with me the entire time as I work at a contact center and there is lots of information that you have to continuely keep up with so I've missed that. I'm not comfortable with being watched. I am already feeling pressure and it's frustrating, I know what I need to do but mngjg;jrba;jgba;rbg, sooooooooooo hard!!!!!!

Kristina - Intro

My name is Kristina, and I am 24. I don't like labels but I will list a few that fit me somewhat: agnostic, animal lover (cats, dogs, generally furry creatures), art lover, carnivore, gamer, geek, introvert, kinky, lesbian, me, nature lover, pet owner (or, is it owned by pets), poly, single and switch. Looking for friendship, dating and if I come across the right person, or people long term relationship. Though my main pursuit right now is to meet new women, and build friendships. I own two cats, one of which is named Wire, so being comfortable around them is a must.

Today

Well, I've been having a rough couple of days. I just caught the cold the entire house has been suffering from, and I've been on edge with everyone. :( It's like the littlest thing is like a major thing that's going to cause a breakdown. Like, I'm angry. I yelled at Amanda, then had to go apologize because it was a stupid thing. It was bad enough being out of work still, waiting for the doctor to get back to me on my MRIs and now this...it's driving me batty along with my abnormal every day stresses. Today was better, but still not great. I slept most of it, woke up, made myself a sandwich and played Tales of Symphonia to try to calm down. It made me more frustrated.

I guess we all have those days...
This is a poem I wrote during the time I first started to deal with my own depression. During that time I was little mean to my friends while they were trying to help out, but they stuck with me through it all. I wrote it on the first day that I felt like I was walking in sunshine rather than in gloom a few years ago...
