Have been in theraphy for 2 years now for many problems from my past.Was sexualy abused as a child,raped as a young adult.Those are just 2 of the hot spots in my mind.Am also diagnosed GID.Witch doesen`t make my life any easer.Theraphy works! the fact that i could tell you is proof it took 1 year of theraphy to admit those events happend & how much supressing them has harmed me mentaly & phsyicaly.Attempted sucide once(failed) because of it.Still have flashbacks but its getting better.Huggs Bye
This is such an important message. I myself have just recently started therapy, and am on anti anxiety medication. It's nothing I'm ashamed of, my close friends all know about it and support me. In just one month I feel like therapy and medication have done so much, and improved my life so much. I've been going through so much in my life, and reaching out for help was like a breath of fresh air. Taking care of yourself is so important.
I used a therapist during my transition,. Partially because it is required by the Standards of Care foir T folk and also because it was nice to have a unbiased person to bounce things off of. I chose when to begin therapy and also when to end it. It was a wonderful experience.
hi, over here in aust, today (for the next 12 mins, on thursday 15/9) is r u ok day, and the idea is to see if someone is ok and help them. the day's target is to make depsession and related topics more talked about. i my self have depression via that i have aspergers. just last month, i tryed to take my life. love you lots lori. Matt
i came out five years ago, my children and i saw a therapist even my childrens father had to see a fam therapy THERE!!! I said it i not ashame of that.
Thanks for this, Lori. I was so afraid to go to a therapist, but could not shake the sadness I felt plus my Mom was going through breast cancer and I could not do anything for her. I felt helpless and it just made my depression worse. I still struggle, but am making steps forward and am now overall very happy. I have AMAZING friends and people that love me just the way I am even if I don't even know who I am just yet. My confidence continually grows :)
Wow Lori! This was an amazing video! I'm seeing the confidential of my school every once in a while. It really helps me! I started like 3 years ago when I was still in high school . I changed schools and I just immediately ask for help. Everyone is very supporting of it all! Some of my friends know. But I don't know if I can ever tell my parents or one of my "very perfect" Sisters.
while I agree with you to seek help when needed,I disagree that life is all sunshine and lolipops the majority of the time.No offence but anyone who is happy all the time has deep rooted problems they don't even realize they have.Im not saying your like this,its just been my experience in this matter.
thank you soooooooo much! you gave me the courage to finally ask my parents, and they were very understanding and said they would help me find one. thank you!!!!!
O_O This is exactly the problem I'm dealing with right now. Great timing. thank you, Lori for realizing that you can't just suck it up. A lot of people tell me that..
I'm seeing a therapist with my girlfriend! Some people feel like it's a sign of us failing, but we feel like it's a sign that we truly care about each other. Instead of saying "Oh we're fighting and having this problem...I'm dumping you!", we're working through it and becoming incredibly strong. Things have been amazing between us since we've been going. If you need help, or your relationship needs help, there is nothing wrong with seeking it.
Great topic. I couldn't see a therapist until I became financially independent from my parents. My mom would become suicidal and say I was what kept her alive. I was afraid that if I wasn't perfect, she would hurt herself. So I pretended to be okay. As soon as I could afford my own therapy I did. Not everyone can communicate with their parents about their need for therapy.
I have seen a therapist! You can "like" this if you saw one as well or are currently seeing one, just to show that it's not something to be ashamed of.
Lori, you are the best

It has been hard for me to find a therapist in Texas that isn't biased about the LGBTQ community.

A friend of mine is really having a hard time with anorexia and doesn't want to see anyone because of the bad stigma...
