@cascadeofwords poetry i like!!

I’m sorry, attachments are really rough. I don’t know if I can give you an answer that will definitely work for you because everyone is different, but trying to take up hobbies or pursuing things that previously interested you could pay off in the long term. Build a routine and stick to it and hopefully the numbness will ease soon. If you have access to professional help, it might be worth talking to someone about options and they could be able to help more than I can. <3

It’s no problem, thank you so much!! this means a lot. i hope you’re doing okay :)

edit: I see who you mean & I’ll keep it in mind thanks x

Hey, I can’t exactly say what the process will be where you are but it might be helpful to write down your experiences! You can make it in creative ways like diagrams or flow charts and it could either be a good thing to give to your therapist or a way to make sense of it all so you can bring it up with them. You could ask an open question, such as ‘Have you had any thoughts about diagnosis?’ and see where it goes from there. I hope this helps and sorry I can’t be more specific :)

1 - I’m so sorry that I took a while to answer this, I’ve been doing badly and I wanted to wait till I felt better so I didn’t half ass the answer.2 - I get this too, it’s hard and I’m sorry. Try to remind yourself that the fact that they have other friends doesn’t mean they love you any less!! If they’re out and you’re seeing pictures on social media, try and put your phone/ laptop away or at least avoid the sites for a while and do something else instead. Distraction can be a great tool if you find something that occupies you, so try different things and see what helps. Also, if you think they’d react in a helpful way, there’s the possibility of bringing it up with them? They might appreciate your honesty and be able to reassure you from time to time if you can’t rationalise it in your head. Best of luck x
