**Muddled**
You posted to me the other day in my "trainwreck post" and said that it seems like I am overwhelmed by basic things right now. I think I missed your post. Anyway, you are right. I am overwhelmed by basic things. Fortunately, I see a wonderful counselor weekly and am on some decent medication. Thanks for your concern.
This week has been really hard. My friend had her baby. I want a baby but timing isn't even close to right. I always talk to my mom about the baby thing and our relationship stinks right now. Understandably, my friend has less time for me now. My counselor will earn his keep today.
Re: **Muddled**
Hi. I'm glad that you saw that.
Do you talk about this with your counselor? I mean the fact that things that should be small are really stressing you out and you aren't handling it well. And who prescribes your meds? A psychiatrist or a GP?
I want to say that your current treatment plan isn't doing it for you.
I have gone through this before. Everything is overwhelming. If there are 2 dishes in the sink, it's too much. One, you feel like you could take care of, but 2 paralyzes you. Is this how you feel? (perhaps a little exaggerated, but you get the idea)
You have to find a way to get past that- to be able to handle the little day to day things. I understand that the baby thing is a sensitive topic for you, but your other post was about more than just that. Or, if this is all about the baby issue, or your relationship with your mom, then recognize that. Don't let all the little things bog you down so that you end up avoiding/not dealing with the bigger stuff.
Does this make sense? I am sorry if I am on the wrong path. Maybe I am projecting too much of my own experiences here... I don't know, but I hope that you are able to figure this all out. It just seems like you are stuck. I don't what the answer is- redirecting your therapy, upping meds, finding a new therapist, some other sort of external motivation- but I hope that you will start exploring the options that are available to you and you find something that works.
I hope I didn't come across as being too harsh.
I'm glad you are working on things. It will get better.
I bet your friend would appreciate some adult company pretty soon.
