Is there any hope?

Post Reply New Topic

During two last week every thing became worse ,feeling inappropriate and depressed at my work, I am tiered and have no power to cope with my painful life any more. I am so reserved and have a poor connection with my colleagues, especially when they clearly tell me “ you are an unhappy quiet girl”. I sometimes laugh at my ridicules inabilities, things that are vey common and easy like breathing for others makes my life a hell. I have a bad headache It started 15 days ago and it haven’t stopped yet the pressure is so high every night I feel it will be my last night life and I will never wake up tomorrow, but yet I am alive!
I hadn’t go to a psychologist up to now I think about it as my last chance, can a psychologist help me? Do you have any experience in this case?

When I got depressed I went to a psychiatrist and was put on Tofranil. It worked.

It could be that something else is bothering you and you cannot find the precise problem? Sometimes it helps me to get a good night sleep and do some things I really like, like reading a whole day.

But if there are more difficult problems, than you way of handling depends on your person. Talking to someone can be a good thing.

Actually you seem to know where your problem is - you are sad and quiet and...that's it! Your workmates think that you are the person, who feels ok about not socialising and they just don't want to bother you.

Smile more often, it's very important. Let them know how nice girl you are.

I thought about headache always as something possibly, easily and physically related to hypoglycemia.

Just take a test of your blood sugar and also check for coeliac disease (Coeliac disease would make you unable to correctly assimilate the nutrients of your diet, it gets corrected by a very simple gluten-free diet). With a blood test you can check both possibilities.

I think it's important to distinguish between psychology and psychiatry. Psychology refers to therapy and discussion of mental health problems. Psychiatry refers to clinical treatment of mental illness. In your case, you seem to have a good insight into why you're unhappy so a psychologist would probably be more suitable.

How do handle it? Don’t they hurt you with their words, my co-workers especially my boss all the time tell me “why you are quiet”. in the small-talks at my job I can’t say a word and I also feel inconvenient . can it be cured by going to a psychologist or it s better to give up my job ?

You can get your boss to give you more work. When working you can't be expected to talk a lot because you're busy. Then, you can ask for a promotion. You'll get one, too, because you've been working harder than anyone else there.
There's plenty of ways to get around "being too quiet". You can take a book with you and read it. Crossword puzzle. Game on your cell phone.
What kind of hurtful things do they say to you?

Crossword puzzle much work…. make me more apart from them , actually they don’t want to hurt me they think I am under depression and want to help me ,but they don’t know the fact that my silence is just because my autism. Sometimes I want to com clean and tell them I am an autistic person, and they will ask what is autism?!

Today I sat with two women during my break. The best thing to do is to sit at the lunch table when you can. They may ask you some questions or not at all. But as I said before, most of them know that I have some kind of disability. One guy don't like me. There are MR people who work there. I heard him say "ret*d". He is really a fool.
I can't eat at the table when everyone is sitting there.
But two people is okay.

So that's I how I deal with it that way. I talk to myself too. I'm used to that.

This is my feeling

Anti-depression prescriptions are mind altering drugs. I am firmly against them. I believe that one's feelings and emotions should be genuine, even if they are that of sorrow.

I don't think people like us necessarily need psychologists. They say we are shielded from others' thoughts and dispositions. While that may be somewhat true, I also think that we can see things that they can't. One thing we do know is our self. We don't need to pay a college graduate to tell us about our feelings. The fact is- we know more about it than they do.

Your boss and coworkers? Laugh them off. They are crazy.

Not you

Nothing wrong with seeing a shrink. Either there's a chemical imbalance that can be medicated and fixed in time, or there are self destructive thought or behavior patterns that can be remedied.
