Mental Health help: I am a 27 year old female. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I am a 27 year old female.

I just got out of a 9 and a half year relationship with my boyfriend. I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want to take care of “me” now. I need to get healthy nutritionally, mentally, and physically. I want help but I don’t know which doctors to see and which doctors are the good ones. I’ve been to a couple different therapists who have not been able to help me. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Please help.

Hmmm…were you open and honest with your therapists? Some people have trouble spilling all.

I find it helpful to make lists.

A list of all the things that make up who you are, who you used to be, and who you would like to become in spite of it all.

It’s also helpful going into a therapy session with a list of your “life events” - as in what is it that you think made you who you are. And you usually end up figuring things out when making the lists so that’s a bonus.

hey thats right by here… i’d say to that the best therapy is finding a big empty hill, and just soaking in the views and sounds of nature… be at peace, and stop rattling your brain around your problems. from there all you need it a healthy nutritional diet, which’ll make you feel way better, (fruits and veggies and the such). Quit your dirty habits if you have any and get back to nature is the best advice i can give. find beauty in the world around you, and you’ll find the beauty of life, and the beauty of yourself. Plus you’ll know that your taking good care of yourself, which feels good to.

if you want conversation, find someone from work to go to a coffee shop or a book store.

i watched a movie called yes man….its about a man like us who never does anything then goes to a semanair that teaches him to live life by saying yes to everything….which ive started doing. i dont look whos calling- i answer. classes i see, i take. people want to do things…i say yes…i try everything. just say yes. you dont have to stay long…but say yes…its leads to interesting things….watch lots of movies and make a plan to live some of the things you see in them…you will find that each time you force yourself to say yes…you are being active, in a new situation and since you are doing things you are losing weight.(aqs long as you arent saying yes to dinners!)a body in motion tends to stay in motion…start saying yes. to somehting you see, something you read….force yourself and you willfind you have more friends,and a better outlook. you have a lot to offer the world…just gotta get out there!
