totally, especially after spending all afternoon working on food photography-first time, only to have a strobist imply i need to learn about lighting. (or at least that's how my defensive brain took it. tongue )

I actually came in to share...maybe happy food pictures will make getting up for the grind a little easier

So yesterday was quite disappointing. It was kind of like getting a bright red balloon only to have the helium leak out much too fast leaving one with just a small, discolored balloon lightly dragging behind.  There are still positives to take from the day, so I'll look for comfort in focusing on them.  As it stands I'm having to fight through a new low.

Be well, everybody

The answer is no, he says he needs to be able to see me to make an informed evaluation of me. See if i'm anxious or depressed. The note how you dress and if you are groomed and clean. I guess there is more to it than I thought.

Has anyone ever tried working with some of the therapist that work online? you do a session over the computer with a web cam so you can see each other. I need a thousand dollars to get my car out of parking ticket hell and it might as well be a million. But I've missed two sessions in two weeks and I'm starting to fall back. I had my first flashback in over a month last night and it scared me to death. The smells, the texture of the clothes, the tastes of water or whatever is so real I become convinced that the flashback is my new reality. I'm not a guy in Delaware having a dream, I'm a boy in a burn ward with a 106 fever having pig skin violently ripped of my third degree burns. I cant go back to that, I wont go back to that and I dont know what to do. Sorry to be a downer tonight. Usually I'm able to offer a kind ear to good people with issues every night. I'm sorry I don't have it together tonight but this is the one place where I can say that and not be laughed at.

I love y'all, ya know.

We love you too Tim. Hang in there. The one thing that you and I and everyone can count on is that nothing ever stays the same forever.

As to your phone/online therapy question, I have no idea if you have the option of working with a different therapist, (or if that is even a good idea in your case).

My therapist, once having established a relationship, does indeed take crisis calls over the phone. The first ten minutes are at no charge, after ten minutes it's his regular rate in ten minute segments (I think). Each of his clients are allowed one free under ten minute call per week (I think). So far I have not used this.

Be that as it may, you are in my thoughts my friend. It WILL get better.

Hugs, man.

Thank you my friend! Your advice is spot on. I would never get insurance to cover it anyway. I'll make other plans. Thanks for being here for me. I appreciate you very much!

Morning everyone. It's been a while.

Thought I'd pop in.

Not feeling fantastic... so I decided to remove myself from the electronic world for a while.

It's not helping, but it's not making things worse.

So hello everyone.. and I am out again. I might stop back..

Good morning everyone. I'm new to this particular thread, but as of today, I'm really glad it was started. Also, I'm glad to see Tim on here because he has been a support through couple of deaths in my life in 2011.

I'm in a real state of depression that has grown immensely this week. I've gotten two speeding tickets in 3 days and I don't see myself slowing down. I've read into "speed addiction" and there are doctors that say it's a legitimate issue. I've acknowledged within myself that I have a problem as well as to the CHP that pulled me over this morning. However, I'm too ashamed and embarrassed to tell anyone else. I feel like I'll be told it's not a real addiction and nobody will be willing to help. It's putting me in major financial trouble (which has been bad already), and is making my depression worse. I feel like I have nothing to live for other than to pay off debt for the rest of my life and that it'd be easier to just end my life. But I can't bring myself to it. If I died on the freeway speeding, I feel that would be my best option or way out

Does anyone hear me out there?
