Has anyone seen a

First off, I'm sorry you are going through this OP, a thousand  for you and your family.
I went to therapy for the first time this summer and it helped me a great deal. Like others have said, sometimes it takes a little shopping around to find someone right for you. If you are religious, i would recommend talking to your pastor if you have one or find a local church group and maybe see if they have a women's fellowship ministry. Continue to seek help, there is bound to be something that can help you heal. Losing a parent is very difficult I would imagine, especially under those circumstances. Also, healing takes time, if at first it doesnt seem helpful, just remember that  deep wounds dont heal overnight.

Perhaps you can suggest therapy to your family as well? Getting everyone on the same page could be very helpful in your healing journey.

Whatever you choose, I hope and pray that you are comforted and achieve the peace you desire for yourself and your family.

Blessings hun

Also, as aforementioned, prayer can be helpful if you feel that no one is listening and also maybe keeping a journal of your thoughts and feelings may help as well. I tried this while in therapy and it was surprisingly helpful. Also you can check out the spirituality section on this board, I've popped in a few times when I when I was feeling low, the ladies up there have wonderful inspirational stories and words of encouragement!

Babybrownz, I will be contacting you later tonight.  I now recall that we spoke privately, when your Mom died and several times after.

I have had both since the age of 5 (due to being diagnosed with ADHD). I saw the same psychiatrist and psychologist consistently until around 2007, my psychiatrist (moved to heaven) and my psychologist went through a nasty divorce and went crazy her damn self. But theres nothing wrong with being seen. Talk to someone and let it all go- from there you will begin to heal.

Yes I spoke to 2 when I was going through ppd. It seemed to make things worse bc I had to keep sharing the thoughts that I was trying to keep from having.

So I stopped going, took Prozac for a year and I'm good now. I am scared to get pregnant again because I know the thoughts will come back.

im really sorry for what you're going through I've been to a therapist for a few years,and I've done outpatient therapy at a hospital. when i was in outpatient therapy, i would see a psychiatrist at the end of the week. she was really nice, but i didnt feel it was necessary to see her because I didn't want to be on meds.
