I decided to take a break from here for a while as I haven't been too well. I have finished the first part of a therapy a few months back. It was like a beginners group. Due to start the full term one in January. Feel like I have hit rock bottom. I am waiting to have surgery on my brain and they are going to shave the bottom of my head and although I have long hair I like it and don't want them to. Been going to hospital appointments galore. Struggling each day as I have taken myself off the meds they gave as I wasn't coping with the side effects. I am scared about the whole thing.

Hey there,

That sounds terrible, sorry you have to go through this. The worst part about procedures is actually going everything that's required. I know what it's like to go to appointments constantly. That's awful too. I hope they are being helpful to you, at the very least.

It's hard to be strong and face it. I'm glad you posted here.

If you need to talk, I'm here.

Thank you @Organicmaplesyurp. It really means a lot. Just had to get it out of me. I am so scared but know if I don't go through with it I won't get better physically. It's bad enough I have stopped the tablets. I am worried beyond words.
May take you up on the offer to chat if that's ok. Just very emotional so maybe tomorrow?

Thanks for directing me here....
When is surgery scheduled?
Ending therapy is tough, I hope the next part is really helpful and that you land up with professionals who you really connect to.

@Innocent Forever that's ok. Thank you for replying. I am not sure as they keep bringing them forward. I have a few upcoming appts to go to and have had many tests and have been referred to a specialist hospital as well. It's all really worrying.
It was. It was an introduction and start MBT in the new year which is one to one and group. Then they want me to do another group as well. Just don't want it to be too much all at once.

Absolutely. PM me any time you feel like it. I totally understand the being scared of procedures but having to go through with them regardless. It's tough. I'm sorry about the meds too, that's hard.

Yeah, it is.... keep me updated...

MBT - as in Mindfulness based therapy? or Mentalisation based therapy? Both are really good. Never done the second but did hear about it.
Then they want me to do another group as well. Just don't want it to be too much all at once
I hope you can discuss that with them. On the one hand it gives more support on the other hand it can be too much...
Good luck!
((hugs))

I am truely sorry you are feeling you hit rock bottom. What surgery are they going to do on your brain is it a tumor? I wish you a well recovery @Lonely85
