I can relate, I never know what is part of my depressions vs part of my personality since I've had it most of my life.
Same.
Spiritual warfare can be behind this. When what age did this start? Where did u used to go/ whose home did u go to/ which place when these things started to happen?. I don't mind giving tips n putting up a video of different reasons why people have this
Real
One of the things that helps me a lot with depression is to find a cause you believe in and fight for it or do some volunteer work. Basically, find something where the happiness of others is dependant on you. This gives a strong sense of purpose and you may find yourself having fun despite the task being grueling because you know it's doing good.
So many of these topics & questions are such a relief to hear about.
I did struggle with the depression questionnaire when getting psychological help. I found it humiliating that I had no "previous" great times... (And it's all connected to abuse by a narcissist, the professionals were clueless about.)
Hey Kati! Hope you had a great holiday. I was just wondering, is it normal to put yourself down and feel ashamed because of having a mental illness? I find myself doing this a lot lately and was wondering if this is normal. Thanks!
I mean I loved you already but finding out that you wanted the Canadiens to win makes me love you that much more :p
#KatiFAQ what are ur thoughts on onlinescholling when you have social anxiety? school has become too hard for me but as i am only 16 years old i need to keep on studying. i don't do got at school atm because i can't focus and i am wondering if online school would be a good idea
#katifaq , Hey Kati, when I'm talking to people, particularly teachers and a police officer that are trying to help me through childhood sexual abuse, I really struggle to make eye contact or even look near the person. An advocate shouted at me for this but I'm not trying to be rude I just can't make eye contact. I also struggle with shaking my leg, I can't get my sentences out properly and fidget with things in my hand (usually sharp plastic), scratching them. could this anything to do with the abuse I went through as a child or is it more likely to be something else? How can I change and come across as more polite and confident when talking?
I paused the video and looked around for my cat. My cat is fine, it was your cat.
Glad I wasn't the only one.
Lol it didn't even sound like my cat and I went to check on her 😅
dam em headphones
😅😅😅😅😅🐱🐱🐱
My cat went looking for the other cat 😂
i wish i had discovered this channel when i was 12 years old. I hit the lowest low of my life. But i never got help because i was scared of myself and i was scared of what people would think. Im glad to be doing better but i wish i had really talked to someone about it instead of hiding it every day
Elley Henderson Don’t hide it, one day it will just eat you from inside. Tell your parents and get professional help and save yourself before it’s too late.
Better to be saved then be shamed
Mmm, 12 years old is young. Same.
I’m 12 and I relate 😫
#katifaq do I have to share details? I've talked a lot about my past sexual abuse with my therapist but I feel like I'm holding some things back. Is the awkward uncomfortable stuff essential for full recovery?!! Helppp!!
Courtney King I don’t know if it’s necessary for recovery, but i am sharing everything with my therapist. Especially the awkward and uncomfortable stuff. I have held all this stuff in for so long and i want it out. As i share the super hard to say stuff i feel the weight of the pain i have been carrying around for so long falling away.
You might want to decide if you trust and like, vibe with your therapist if you don’t change. Since being able to trust your your therapist enough is crucial and it’s perfectly fine to change. You don’t need to give any reason but it’s polite to say or let them know that you are changing. ( example Thank you for this time, I’ll be changing therapist for personal reasons. Be well .) Also if you want in most countries you can have your dossier closed so that no one apart from yourself and your therapist can access it.
@@mylifejen6372 would it be helpful when you share all to your therapist?
Volunteering with my church really helped with my depression! I believe it was the fact that I was working beside other people who truly cared about me, while serving other people and I wasn't focused on my self.
the cat meows bring me joy
I just found out about your videos. and you are just amazing! I can see your empathy in your eyes and voice, its extremely comforting. you are SO good at your job!
I'm glad you found Kati's videos. She rocks. Welcome to the community! And if you haven't checked out KatiMorton.com you totally should! :)
Agreed! I've only watched two videos but I can tell this will become a regular hangout for me. Hahaha :)
#katiFAQ . Hi kati . Ive always wondered what therapist write in their notes when we re having a session . Can you please explain???
Yes I'm curious too!
For some reason, my therapist doesn't use notes. I actually think they are distracting, I am surprised people use them lol
Hi! I feel like I can answer your question, as a therapist in training and having to document. Normally what I put in notes is what we did, from a clinical level like processed trauma, then clients response to the interaction as well as a plan for next time.
You are entitled to ask to read the notes if it makes you feel uneasy. They are making notes of things that struck them as important to help you in further sessions. A lot of Counsellors write notes down in the ten minutes between sessions. But that also means remembering things over a 50 minute conversation. Its a practitioners preference as to what they do. They may be also be writing down process notes about how they feel about the interaction you are having to work on in Supervision. Yet again its all to help the client.
1) It is possible to do something you love TOO much, to the point one gets bored of it, or it even feels like it's another job. When I feel like I'm not enjoying a hobby or something I generally like to do, I step back for a little while.
2) A psychiatrist/therapist is there solely for the patient. Anyone trying to help somebody is only as good is the information given them. Be as honest as possible; remember, you are spending your money and your time for the help.
I know this was posted 4 years ago, but with 1, this is so much of a fact. I loved to draw but I burnt out, and where I thought it was depression, in reality it was just I loved it so much as a person that I stopped enjoying it over the years and had to stop for a really long time to find enjoyment in it.
I had written a paper about just one of the episodes of my abuse and let my therapist read it. I thought he was going to cry but held it in until I left. He said it was the most disturbung thing he had ever read and he could see why I have the attitude that I do toward some people. To a degree you can say or write too much to your therapist. It was a long time before I wrote anything to him again about the abuse. I should say something that specific and detailed. These are things I have never shared with anyone before; it is a very hard thing to share something with someone and then wonder if they are judging you about what was perpetrated against you.
R.e. The second question I think it's possible to feel as though you've shared too much but that's natural when you're telling them your inner thoughts and feelings because it makes us feel vulnerable. But as long as you can trust your therapist to be understanding of that delicate information then you can get through it and it should ultimately help therapy.
#KatiFAQ Hey Kati, I was wondering how can I overcome obsessing with food? For example if i ate something healthy, I will think "That was to much food" or "Why did I eat that" ect. Basically, How can I stop being anxious around food. I love your videos. Thanks. :)
#KatiFAQ What can you do when you get so stressed out that you can't concentrate?
The last time I was really depressed, I looked at my guitar, my pedals, my keyboard and I honestly felt this: " uhhhh whyy do I have these things? it makes no sense to me as I dont feel anything in playing music". I thought about selling them.
a year later I felt "ohhhh yeah... playing guitar feels so good"
its funny how depression affects who you are
Can definitely relate!🎹
I"m too far gone. Cannabis is the only thing that helps me. That and isolation
She said we may feel like shit but we are getting better, okay? 😂 I love it. Thanks Kati!
Hey Kati, how can I deal with a cluttered house? Most of my family members have hoarding-like tendencies, and it puts a lot of stress on me physically and especially mentally. I always get the urge to clean everything but it's so overwhelming! What should I do? X
I'm hearing ya girl! I need help here too!
Watch Jordan Peterson clean your room it's kind of like eating an elephant one bite at a time and start with your own environment like your personal room and at least if that's clean you will have a place to think. Watch Jordan Peterson ;)
I’m doing the KonMarie method- it’s helping me a lot mentally. When you are ready to let go of your past and make room for new things in life, then you are ready to declutter (at least in my case). :)
Lol told my therapist about my nanny who had to have her finger cut off to escape the marriage and she made this vulnerable face
Months later I had sexual fantasies bout my therapist and I'd consciously remember that face she made
I decided to tell her about it and now we're bffs!
Jk, I'm about to tell her about it tmr, ooh lord have mercy on this woman
Professional diagnosis: the cat’s crazy. 😳 Advice: Ignore him.
I just flashed on my whole childhood. 😂😂😂
"I'm holding it myself, because my kids are watching hockey". Priorities! Love it! :D
#katifaq I always found it hard to talk to therapists. I really have huge trust issues even towards my closest friends or family, so how should I talk about my problems to a complete stranger who doesn't know me at all? Thanks for everything that you do you are amazing, have a nice day ❤
Hi Sebbies, I know i'm not you, but I have found it to be very helpful that my therapist is a woman from a different city who was a total stranger. Even thought we moved slow in the beginning, because I was also hesitant. I picked her myself, so that gave me some sense of control. Now I talk to her more easily then to my family or friends, because her sole perpose in that hour is to help me. I wish you luck
Lol the cat in the backround is the story of my life
#katifaq Hi Kati :) i went to my doctor on Monday and he said that im really stable and our next apt is for the first time in a month (it was every two weeks up to now). My mood swings are not daily anymore and it seems that most of my symptoms are gone. Is it possible a full recovery for BPD? or my symptoms have decreased due to meds and they are going to come back eventually? Thank You!!
BPD is seen as a incurable personality disorder in the mental health world with the leading treats being treatments like DBT, which can teach you/help you to manage your symptoms. So far there is no actual cure, just ways to cure/cope with the symptoms. If you're taking meds to help with the symptoms, they're likely to come back if you stop taking them. I'd advise you to, instead of trying to make the symptoms go away, learn to fight them so you have a permanent solution. Though that's just my opinion. Just my 2 cents🤷♀️
- Someone who's done A LOT of research because she believes she has BPD and will be going to my first psychologist appointment in 2 weeks.
Hi just wanted to say i love your videos and i wish you were my therapist lol you always explain things so clearly and without judgement. Always make so much sense and stay on topic very well :)
Don't get a therapist. Let me repeat that...
Why can't I stand touch? My family is super touchy and it really hurts them that I won't hug them or be physically affectionate. They try anyways which makes me want to hit them (which is weird because I'm never violent or aggressive) or I triggers my sh. How can I get over my intolerance to touch so I can hold my mom's hand and hug her?? Thanks!(:
Im the exact same way. I hate it when my mom touches me and it sucks because shes like the best person ever
I won’t never see a therapist again. Out of protection for myself. Because I’ve been “dumped” by 4 therapists now. One, I opened up completely to, I ended up in the hospital (for mental health reasons) came out and she was so cold towards me.. She wouldn’t tell me what the problem was . So I finally stopped seeing her.
Hey Kati, I have a question I really need answered asap. What's the difference between being depressed and being lazy? I always feel like I have depression but some people think I'm just trying to be someone I'm not because I knew people who have self-harmed before I did it. I did self-harm for my own reasons. I never got help for this and it's been going on for years. Thanks.
What happens if you tell your therapist you committed a serious crime, like a murder? Are therapists bound by confidentiality to the same degree that priests are during a confession, or will they just go and tell the police?
#katifaq Hi Kati. I love your videos. So I am 16 years old and was sexually assaulted when I was 13. I didn't realize what had happened since it wasn't full sex, but forced kissing and making out and stuff like that. I put 2 and 2 together during health class when we talked about violence and this came up. My therapist confirmed it. She says that I have a lot of symptoms of PTSD. Now, I am with my first boyfriend since then. Often you talk about how after sexual abuse or assault or stuff like that, we tend to refrain from sexual activity or are scared of it. I find myself thinking about having sexual activity with this guy tho. Can it work the other way where you are more tempted to engage in sexual activity? I feel like once we hit one stage, I'm immediately ready for the next, but I wait for him to go at his own pace. Are there cases where it goes the opposite like this? Thanks.
Im honestly blaming my husband for my depression. He was emotionally and mentally abusive for 6 years out of our 15 years of marriage. I had thought that him seeing 2 different therapist, would help him and he claimed they did. After moving back into our home, i realized he definitely didn't get enough help. He was able to hide it for a couple weeks and BAM!, his abusive ways came right. Im stuck between a rock and a hard place. Being disabled, I know that I need to leave him again but it was hard packaging everything super fast last time. Just a damn mess
#KatiFAQ How much is too much when we are talking about traumas? I don't want my traumas to become anyone else's.
Little correction his name is Shane Koyczan. Sad the habs lost :(
i am a bit suicidal but i am too shy to speak to any therapist
Thank you Kati. That was super helpful. I feared that I might be TMI with my psychologist.
I feel like I am constantly clarifying that "I don't mean that literally" to my therapist when talking about what I would like to do to my abusers.
#KatiFaQ - I have my first session with a counsellor next week to try and help with SH and childhood sexual abuse and I was just wondering what should I expect from the first session? I'm really nervous about it and wanted my teacher to be there with me (but she's not allowed) and I'm not good at talking to people I don't know/trust. Is there anything I can do to make it easier for me and are the sessions driven by the counsellor or will she stay quiet until I lead the conversation? Also do you know what a intermediary is? Thank you for all your videos!
Kati has some videos on first sessions and what it's like. I think it might come up if you search Kati Morton first session on TH-cam or Kati Morton therapy session demonstration on TH-cam as well. On her website she has a list of her videos and what she talks about in each one if that does not work. I hope your session goes well. I know it's scary but you can do it!
Here's a video that may help. Im trying to find the other one. th-cam.com/video/jpZBuebqHpg/w-d-xo.html
I know I am not Kati, but I wanted to let you know that Kati has done a collaboration video with "Idranktheseawater" where they demonstrate what a first therapy session is usually like. If you search "kati morton therapy" on youtube it should come up.
Also from my own experiences the therapist will ask you something along the lines of why you have decided to come to therapy and what you are looking to work on. It might help to think about what you would like to say. You don't have to day a bunch at once if you dont want to.
Also in my experiences, in the first session the therapist asked a lot of background questions and led the session much more than other sessions to try to get a general overview. The collab video I mentioned earlier is definitely worth checking out.
Look up her video with Idranktheseawater on what a typical first therapy appointment is like
Steph Devorah I'll have a look, thank you
I emailed a therapist for the first time a couple days ago. I don’t know if anything will come of it (or if ill even end up seeing her), but I’m kinda proud that i did it.
Big Foot It took me months of therapy to relax and trust the therapist. That was 12 years ago. Now, dozens of sessions later, I’m really making progress. I wish the same for you.
Colouring book, reading, reading uplifting quotes also listen happy music :-)
#katiFAQ Hi Kati! I was wondering if you have any tips for overcoming emetophobia (ie the fear of vomiting). I suffer from it really badly to the point where I can't be in the same room as a sick person, I'm afraid to eat so I just don't and if I get a belly ache, I start panicking until I literally can't breathe... This has a huge impact on my social life. I can't even explain why I'm so scared of it, I know it's partly to do with the fear of vomiting in front of someone. I used to see a counsellor but I had a bad experience so now I'm afraid to go back, especially to discuss such an icky subject matter. I know that a lot of people suffer with it and face this problem every day, and it would be so useful if you could please include this question in one of your videos! Thank you. Ps I love your videos, they are really helpful and you are a very thoughtful, kind person :) love from, Emily xx
On the subject of telling your therapist too much, aren't there also times where going into the specific details will be telling the therapist too much? Like, are there not times when you are giving them irrelevant information? For instance, if you are telling them about your sex life, does it have value to explain exactly what you have done? Or how about when you feel the need to explain what you do in games as you feel like that might give insight into your psyche? And finally, how about your opinions and views on societal and philosophical matters?
I suppose the only exception to the "not possible to tell a therapist too much" might be for sociopathic or psychopathic (ASPD) patients who are planning something violent or illegal. Say, child abuse, rape plots, designs on murder (not just fantasies of them.)
But that's probably a special case and I'm sure therapists would still rather hear that to try to steer them away from dangerous behavior.
thats why therapy is so misleading and so is kati becuz how can u tell a therapist everything if there r limits to privacy. sound u need to censor or be careful what u say in therapy.
I went to a therapist and i wanted to cry so bad while talking about it. I didn’t say much about the situation because it was hard to explain because i felt like crying. I thought that i would say too much. I felt hesitant even while talking to my therapist. I feel like i have major trust issues.
What do you feel about PTSD
I often feel I digress and ramble too much, interrupt and talk over. Everything my therapist tells me is of great value to me, so I hate to miss out on that giving tmi and irrelevant info.
It depends on the therapist.
You can share too much. It depends in the individual. In my experience sharing religious trauma with anybody can lead to attacks and arguments that can damage the relationship.
If you get on a therapists bad side the relationship can go down hill from there.
I know therapy shouldn't go that way but is DOES and it HAS for me.
Not all therapists are willing to hear views that contradict theirs or are LGBTQ+ affirming, ect.
#katifrq
I feel like I'm probably not the only one who has this issue. I get severe anxiety every time I go to see my therapist, and I have a difficult time being honest. I was consistent for a bit (every other week) but I haven't gone in a while. I'm not really sure why I get so freaked out though. We (my therapist and I) have gone through the gist of things but it's hard to get deeper. Should I try to find another therapist?
Shannon Snyder are you going to trust anybody because there's no sense of changing if you have trust issues and how are they going to help you if you don't share everything like one of the people said above you don't have to share the intimate details but you're there to get help you got to share what's going on otherwise you're just wasting your money and then at least you would know if they could help you or not and me and you might decide to go to another one what can they do if they know something about you who cares if they make a judgement about you all that matters is that you get the help that you need
if u commited a severe crime u cant tell your therapist
#KatiFAQ Hi Kati! So I think everyone is addicted to something in life, whether it is healthy like music or not healthy like self harm. But is it bad to be addicted to anything at all? If you're addicted to a coping skill that isn't detrimental, is it still bad because you're not working on the underlying issue? Thanks!
#katiFAQ hey kati I was wondering if sports help make your ED worse? Thanks.
#KatiFAQ What advice would you have for a counselor facilitating their first group? How would you handle clients that challenge you and/or ask for self-disclosure? Love your videos and would like your perspective! :) Thanks!!
NY Rangers - Colorado Avalanche- West Point Army- Black Knights -

#katiFAQ Hey Kati I hope you're doing well! I saw this on tumblr and I wanted to share it with you. "Keep a grateful journal. Every night, list 5 things that happened this day that you are grateful for. What it will begin to do is change your perspective of your day and your life. If you can learn to focus on what you have, you will always see that the universe is abundant; you will have more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never have enough." - Oprah Winfrey
How much is too much?
I just watched requiem of a dream so nice to see Kati Morton now. ❤️ The movie was so heartbreaking.
Awwww I love cats especially my baby. She helps me battle my demons of depression and anxiety.
I grew up near Tampa and I always thought it odd that we had an ice hockey team when it literally never freezes here (well, occasionally for like 30-60 minutes before sunrise at 31-32 degrees Fahrenheit every decade or so lol).
Perhaps that cat is not crazy but has a mental illness… maybe BPD or complex PTSD… I hope he found a therapist to work through it.
I know this is old but my therap[ist told me I couldnt talk about my violent intrusive thoughts or he had to report it to whoever. Kind of limits how much healing can happen IMO. My previous therapist(i had to move states unfortunately) never told me that and he was the absolute best therpaist Ive had. Whats the deal with that?
Hey Kati! This is for your #katifaq and I was wondering how we can talk about past sexual abuse without totally freaking out! When my therapist brings up sexual abuse even without asking me what happened my heart starts racing and I get super nervous!? Is this normal and how can I finally open up about what happened. Thanks so much Kati!
I think theirs a lot of red flags . In Mental Health Deaths Losses of Family Mother Farther Sister Brother. If you ball game is off at home your usually off ! Family history and traumas should be really looked at ? Relationships boy friend girlfriend matters of the heart are at the route of mental health? I could add health issues Cancer health issues!

One question.
Other than statements about harm to self or others, is there ANY other thing someone could say to a therapist that could possibly jeopardize their freedom?
Hello I won’t say my name but I have a lot of bad thoughts and I can’t control my emotions anymore I feel like I’m in and out of reality everyone says if u think negative only bad stuff will happen but it’s so hard to think positive I have so many negative emotions I thought smoking weed would calm me but it only ended up leading me to harder drugs I had a mental breakdown a couple months back and I feel like one’s going to come back but at the same time I feel like I’m only doing this for a attention I feel so self destructive
yeah! lets get help first so we can pay EVEN MORE!
I try to change up my looks to cope. Once I cut my hair really short a style that I have never worn before. I love seeing a different face when I am depressed
if the therapist in question is you (especially) then YES.
You do too many overly animated facial gestures and too close to the camera and it looks like you could fluff up your hair and maybe give it a wash it looks pretty greasy.
I find it so hard to be myself at work :/.I just feel like I can't connect to people and it's so hard to get around..I've always found it incredibly hard to develop casual friendships.I tend to only want to be friends with people if there is a goal that we both feel to get to know each other inside out.I have never understood how you can be able to tell your "drinking" friend one thing and your "drawing " friend another. I then feel like an absolute freak because I tend to want to have more intense relationships than what is typically expected.Thos means I tend to is isolate myself and really worry about making new friends.Im 24 and I very very seldom get invited anywhere. I spent this New Years hiding in my closet on my phone and under my covers. :/.I just never know what to say to people sometimes. I mean.. I'm better at talking to people who are older because I'm less scared that they'll judge me. I love doll making ,trapeze ,writing and studying Russian andd I don't think these are boring things but why is it so hard to socialize.apart from being on the autistic spectrum which sucks and makes me feel like such a freak.not only that but I have ADHD and all I've EVER heard about it are bad things and since my diagnosis I've become even MORE reluctant to go out. Urgh and then the most frustrating thing is , by saying that you hate yourself , you're demonstrating that you're not mature enough. My problem is I know exactly what to do most of the time , I just choose not to as self punishment.And I have a really big problem with self worth so I put everyone before me. Also it's so normal for it to be me making all the effort and feeling like my friends don't that it's just normal to me. Urgh! "Mentally throws imaginary plate".
Palesa Can't be easy! I was so shy and humble as a child and rarely talked. Thought that I was beneath everyone.
Got better as I aged. My daughter is on the autistic spectrum, she's tested now, but I know she is. Feel sorry for her, you and people that struggle with self worth and relations. People have to show interest and ask you things with real interest and do things with you. That's how I felt, I opened up more and more when someone showed interest, but I couldn't talk if I felt I had to get others attention. Because my voise wasn't high and it was un natural. I grew out of it, tho!
My daughter rejects others and seams rude. She doesn't mean to be, but class mates thinks she is. Very hard for her. She have become scared of rooms with many people. She misunderstands body language and face expressions. And interrupts and changes subjects when others talk. Breaks my heart that others gets irritated and avoid her. I try to explain, but she thinks I critique her, instead of advising her. Hope we get help so her life gets easier. If she was diagnosed, my hope is to explain to her class and they will understand her better and be nicer.
Sounds like you are opposite in being too humble or submissive, like I was. People took me for granted. I had a friend, a naigbour. We were inseparable. I was lucky. Life is hard. There are people that would love to be your friends, but if they don't know about you or get to know you first... and the cemestry clicks when you talk to the right people. Just don't let anyone take advantage of your cindnes and vonrebility.
Maby try to get to know someone in a group or try to find a best friend /friends..
A new girl started in my daughters class, and she gets her and they have now finally became best friends. Two years, she was alone at school and tried to get friends, then this girl came along. So never stop trying ❤I m sure you're amazing! There are good, cool, nice people out there, but so many that the cemestry doesn't fit or that isn't worth it, anyways.
alot of people would be honored to have you in their lives. You are articulate, have feelings, that's already a lot! Please don't be alone with your depression or hurt.
You shouldn't hide in your closet or covers 😢
Hope you can get help... but you have to ask for it 😘
Maby a young therapist? You just need some encouragement and start help and get your confidence up and self-esteem. People see, and are drawn to it.
Wish you the best of luck! Big hug🤗💕From a stranger, that wants you to feel much better! We would get along 😉
What if what you want to tell the therapist is how much you don’t like the therapist? Isn’t it polite not to put people down?
Im going to break a therapist and make them realize that they are wasting their time and mine. Tired of this treatment with words. It is just a business.
Title Question starts at 2:21
Can you tell your therapist too much?
I love your videos, Kati 😊
Magnesium helped, and eating healthy helped.
What happens when you loose trust in your therapist?
your therapist will tell you to write in a journal or diary
She didn’t even post the poem in the description
Apparently the answer is yes, at least in my case.
I suffer from chronic depression
I love the cat! And that’s saying something, I’m allergic!
Years ago i had sessions with a therapist because of anxiety . But while going through my past i was very careful how i answer because i have an extensive criminal background committed crimes i wasn't caught for . I always wondered could have i honestly told my therapist everything ? Because i was paranoid if i say something my therapist would notify authorities of me confessing crime activity, for instance lets say i did an armed robbery and i wasnt caught for it . Can someone elaborate on my question ?
What about psych ward..
Am looking for the poem........
But what if you confess a serious crime to your therapist? Doesn't confidentiality have it's limits?
I don't hold anything back and will list everything and I had therapy for 4yrs hasn't worked. Talking doesn't work. Meds don't work. I have multiple anxiety disorders. Psychologist for 7yrs did nothing. Nothing works period. When on anxiety meds I want to kill people and I don't care about consequences period. I'm on the do not give patient x y z drugs in ER/hospital/doctor's office state list. Looking out a window at phys therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome, bursitis, and fibromyslgia and realizing I'm not thinking about anything caused a severe panic attack where I passed out and my heart beat so fast the beat went irregular and the paranedics had to use the defibrillator on me to correct my irregular heart beat. This is normal.
#KatiFAQ I have a question. I am diagnosed with PTSD, BIpolar 1 w/ psychotic feat. And my psychiatrist just added ADHD to this diagnosis. My question is, how do you know if you've been miss diagnosed, BIpolar does not run in my family, ADHD does and so does major depression and schizophrenia, also some learning disabilities. I'm curious about this subject because I had been diagnosed with scizoeffective disorder when I was 13, and then when I was 21 they said it was social anxiety, and now they say what I put up at the top. I'm very tired of dealing with these lables. I have had trouble with school all my school years, and my self-esteem is pretty much gone, also I have a hard time socially, and I blank out a lot when there is a ton of stimulation (lights ,noise, and to much going on at once). I'm also forgetful, I misplaced my meds this week and I forget to take them, i hyperfocus on certain tasks then the "important" stuff I don't get done on time, anyway, I'm super overwhelmed by the fact I "underachieve" even though I know I can do better, if I could just stick to things and not forget important stuff, it's like I'm lazy but, I'm really not it's like I'm held back by something I can't control. No matter how hard I try to do better. anyway, I went off topic, so, question was,... oh, how do you know if you are misdiagnosed?
Hey kati,
I currently struggle with depression and self harm but I also have (undiagnosed) problems with my eating which I think could be an eating disorder. I am struggling a lot with my depression/self harm and I'm considering going back to my GP and asking for more support. My question is; would I be able to get help and possibly see a therapist for my depression/self harm but not have to get help for my eating problems? I just don't feel bad enough to ask for help with my eating but I want to for my depression if that makes sense?
But.... I do think they think imma freak? They nv talked about it squarely but just privatised their social media. I'm so stress over it and idk if u would pick my question.
I thought you were going to share that poem by Shane Koyczan, but I don't see it anywhere...??
#KatiFAQ Hey, good morning (or whatever it is for you). Do you have any tips on how to deal with anxiety at concerts? Really wanna go to some but I don't want anxiety to ruin such experiences. thanks in advance.
#katifaq hey kati im feeling very very scared, I used to have a very severe eating disorder where I would not eat for days then eat small amounts of food one day, take sometimes over 20 laxatives and start the cycle all over again, I was about 126 pounds, it gradually got not as extreme and then the behaviours stopped and now I am 21, 5'7,182 pounds, probably about 30-40 pounds overweight and I struggle to eat healthily and exercise enough. However I have worked very hard to feel good about my body no matter what and not feel guilty about eating, which mentally has been a better situation for me and meant I can achieve more in my life. I am very scared because this Christmas I can feel myself slipping back into my eating disorder, thinking I should stop eating for days and days so I can be skinny. It's maybe because I dont have scales at my house where I study and my parents do so ive been weighing myself, ive been cooped inside doing an essay so not really exercising and my mum always talks about dieting and that she thinks shes fat, and my sister in law and brother talk about other people being fat and i feel self conscious also i feel like my life would be better if i was skinny and i could do more things i wanted to do and people would accept me and be attracted to me and like me. I am very sexually active as a way to cope but have not had a committed boyfriend since i was 18 and really skinny and i am paranoid no one will love me until im thin again and i wont have a happy life or be able to survive or do things i want to do. I'm feeling really scared and sad and dont know how to cope. Thanks, sorry for posting such a long question, I love your videos and I think you're amazing :) xxx
"Can you tell your therapist too much?"
"No"
hehe:( not according to my therapist and her supervisor
maybe in UK we had different standards and patient is responsible for feelings and comfort of therapist
edit: to be clear i did't threat my therapist nor make any sexual or other proposal
The edit is making me curious. Care to share what you did tell your therapist?
