Once again I did a disappearing act after the forum bbq. My anxiety and depression has been steadily getting worse and I am really becoming more and more of a hermit. Even dog isn't helping. I have been having counselling over the past couple of months to ascertain what therapy I need. Those counselling sessions were intense and upsetting, so much so that I had to have a two week break between each one. Anyway, I start my therapy next Thursday and it will be every week, something I'm really not looking forward to but I have no choice if I want to get well again. The therapy is called EMDR and it's widely used on our armed forces for people suffering from PTSD. Quite an interesting read on the therapy, as it's to do with the REMs when you sleep and how the brain processes events.It will be even more intense than my counselling sessions were. At the moment I'm still not working, getting ESA, so very skint. Haven't had the will or the inclination to do much of anything. I WILL GET BETTER !! I am also determined to spend a bit more time on here with some really lovely people who always make an effort to get to our bbq every year. Thank you all for being a great bunch of people xx
