Coping with Depressive Episodes
What do you moms do during depressive episodes? The days are getting shorter and I’ve been struggling for a few weeks already. I don’t really have a good support system. I’m in therapy but can’t afford my psych so I haven’t seen him for about a year now - so no meds for the first time since I was diagnosed BP1 4 years ago. I’m caring for my chronically ill 16 month old daughter and 25 weeks pregnant while working - my daughter comes with me. I’m just kind of out here on my own. My therapist just gives me pretty generic responses when I talk to her. What…do I do? Tough it out? I feel like I’m drowning and nobody can help me

@Natasha I think about it often. I’ve been with her 5 years and we have a very good therapeutic relationship. It almost seems that she’s been busy with her own life and it’s getting in the way

Would you consider trying a new therapist? If she’s not really helping you then it might not be worth the money… there might be someone else who is a better fit
