There's your problem. Thinking. No good will come of it.

You wouldn't be the first person to say that.lol.

Yeah, people are dicks but at least some people get into the profession they do because they care. Yours sounds like one of the good ones, so don't worry. You could always engineer a conversation where you say something outrageous as a joke to throw her off balance, then tell her the real thing.

Like:

You: "aren't goats just the sexiest creatures around?"
Her: "... what?"
You: "Just kidding. Aaaaaanyway I've been thinking recently...." and then no matter what you say she can't think less of you, because she's sat there just being relieved you don't want to have sex with goats.

You have no idea how hard I laughed just then.;) I'm seeing her on Tuesday so I'll try and talk about it then. I just want everything out in the open. If you only tell people half of how you feel then they can only help you half (that's what my friend told me).

Well, they aren't a friend as such. They are my project worker and I need some help dealing with some feelings I have and I have no one else to tell really and if I don't tell anyone then I am going to drive myself even more crazy.

i would tell your support worker, i tell mine all sorts of things, and he never judges me, helps me to come to my own conclusions on things

I'm off to bed now lovelies. I have a nagging pain in my lower back and it's uncomfortable.I think it's related to my headache as I also have pain in my shoulders and neck too so I think it's tension.

Much love to you all. Sleep well.

Ok, well so much for going to sleep.

I am now aching all over and can't sleep. It feels like my bones are aching.
I'm going to get some Nurofen and a cuppa.

Hi Dear Everybody:)

Miles behind as usual....I am so sorry to read of the recent difficulties here which had left many of you feeling upset and anxious.
When I read such (IMO) unhelpful comments the 1st question I ask is :

"Who is this person, and what is their interest in the matter?"

Here's the relevant throwaway line (sorry can't do links - am internet ignoramus):
From the "Do drugs work" thread, post 171 - 2/3/08: (quote) -

"...no-one ever PM's me or rings me up and asks about treatment for depression, yet they don't know what I charge or even if I would charge them.."

Sounds to me like using MSE to drum up business contacts.

And the offer to our feelie:
Post 203 - same thread - offering his personal services to her free of charge to cure her depression......on the condition that feelie agrees to post an honest appraisal of the results on MSE. Free testimonial ....sounds like a business opportunity to me. If it works.....

The claim that "people suffering depression are attention seeking" is not supported by any clinical evidence I know of. Depression is the mind's way of trying to cope with intolerable emotional trauma too painful to deal with at the present time.

<Hugs> to you all

This was in response to the perceived idea that private therapy is expensive and did not apply just to MSE

Sounds to me like using MSE to drum up business contacts.

If you understood the prolem with making contacts on this sort of forum I am sure you would not have written that

"If it works" Would I offer it if I wasnt confident that there was a chance of help? It could have backfired very badly if you think about it. Hardly the way to get a business opportunity

I think you will find I said the Illness not the person which gives a whole new mening to the point

I made an offer to Feelinggood because she challenged me to help her. I said I would do it free because people would be likely to say I was profiteering. I asked her to write her experiences on here so that others could see what was going on and perhaps not be afraid to seek local help. It was left that Feelinggood had to gain approval from doctor. That is the ethical thing to do as at the present time the doctor may know a lot more about her than has been told here and may feel that therapy is not appropriate at this time.
If or when she is ready Im sure she will contact me. The ball is entirely in her court so that she can do things at her own pace.
I notice also that people have been judge mental of hypnotherapy which is rather good when they dont even know what therapy I am going to use. It could well be CBT or NLP or even CMT. I dont know myself until I meet a client.
I would not make the same offer to a lot of people here because it is blatantly obvious they are not ready whereas others maybe. Therefore I am sorry but MSE is not a good recruiting ground for business added to the fact that I dont know where most people live and they are likely to be far too far away.
As far as business contacts are concerned I dont need them but if I did I would be targeting corporate stress and smokers as that is where the real money is
