I find that since i started therapy in january my si has gotten worse until I had to do the partial hospital day program at the Hospital several times and was inpatient one of those times. I hadnt been in the hospital in almost 5 yrs and feel ashamed. I have food issues too. The SI has progrssed. Besides psychotherapy and meds what can I do to break this cycle?
I know what you mean. When I was in therapy sometimes I felt like it was just a constant reminder that I wasn’t “normal”. I don’t really have any advice… after awhile I just stopped feeling that way. Just want you to know that it totally makes sense to me that you feel this way.
I think the worst part of therapy is the fact that it brings up so many issues that you’ve tried so hard to repress and i guess thats like a leading factor in relapses like mine. I know when i started therapy i honestly thought i was getting worse but really it’s just making me aware of the problems that i have to fix. so i know that it seems hard now and i know i’m not sure if your case is anything like mine but for me it has actually started to get better. you just have to have strength in yourself and push through it.
