It really depends where your issues stem from of course... I have a chemical imbalance, so no amount of counselling would ever help, but if your issues are triggered by external causes then CBT might very well be a good path to take x

Ah @jokers..I'm not sure what the options are where you live? We have a charity called @mind that holds support groups..if there was something similar you Might find it easier to talk to others in a similar position rather than a shrink?

Those kids came from you. You can't hate yourself without hating a part of them.

I want you to look at yourself. I want you to look at what is really causing these feelings. Look for it like you would look for something that has the potential to harm your kids. Because this does.

Your kids need a mum who loves and accepts herself as well as them.

They love you and they need you. The world would not be better off without you.

You deserve a happy life. You deserve love from yourself.

Thank you Faerylight. I love your name BTW, very pretty

I'll have to check into that. Thanks Lemony

I've been to counseling. I think I scared the shrink..

That's the problem I find with anti-depressants... They fill the head with fog 24/7 :(

I'm so sorry to read this it sounds like a struggle. Is there any way you can get counselling or similar as an alternative to pills??

I have yet to meet a shrink that's not all messed up on pills themselves. They stare at you like you're a circus elephant, then throw their pills at you like peanuts
