Sounds to be your full of anger. Which as far as I am concerned you have a right to feel. Anything a person feels is OK! You do need to shop for a good therapist that you like and feel comfortable with. But most of all TRUST!!!! Trust I feel is a huge issue to you. Don't stop until you find that right therapist. I would also tell the therapist what you have ran into with other therapists, and ask them directly if they think they could handle you? My's well get right to the point! You could start with an anger class. Sometimes people get stuck in a stage of loss of a loved one. I know I did too. But with work, and time-it got better! Good days ahead for you I hope!!!

I suffered from depression for years due to an unhappy childhood.
I have never found doctors helpful. They all seem to Busy and just want to rush you out as soon as possible. Any pills I have been prescribed had sideeffects to the point they would make me ill and then I couldn't work and would end up being too poor and feeling even worse.
I also wonder why I go off my head so much and the next day wonder what the hell my problem is. thankfully I am a bit more rational now and hopefully easier to live with. I think making sure there is someone you can talk to and that will support you and making yourself feel secure in yourself and day to day life is very important. I have to say I am very lucky as my boyfriend and dog have helped me in this a lot!!!

I am very sorry that you lost your Mum and the best advice I can give is that you find a pix of her looking the way you wish to remember her, lay on your bed and relax, lighting a few aromatherapy candles such as lavender will help you relax and picture her. Think of all of the GOOD TIMES you had with her and remember that she is not gone, but in a better kinder place. I truly believe that she is always with you as a Mum is always a childs guardian whether you can see her or not. Think of the way she used to smell or comb your hair when you were a child. She will be with you until you pass and you will be with her again. Do not let the doc's tell you you have PTSD as they will always try and label you and pill you up. You need to turn to whatever your religion or spirituallity is and speak to someone in your faith. Release your anger and remember that when there is a death that Denial, Anger and Acceptance are part of the lessons of life. She will always love you and when alone light a candle by her picture on your wall and talk to her when you are confused. She is there, and so is the Diety you believe in. Bless you and be strong for it is not easy to have a loved one move on. Best of luck I am sure that someone has to have a pic of her somewhere, as sister of hers of brother, your father, there is a pic somewhere I truly believe that and if u cannot find it create one in your mind.

The next time you go to a doctor ask about trans cranial magnetic therapy. This suppose to work wonders but a psychiatrist has to recommend this. The sad thing there are only a few machines around and the waiting list is very long unless you have the money to jump the line. I think you could benefit from the machine. You've never mentioned about if the doctors had tried giving you anti depressants, ask about Prozacs or celexia

Sounds like you still haven't recovered from your mom's death and you are still grieving. . . there is no time limit on grief. . .I lost my baby son about 5 years ago (+ both parents, grandparent, a good friend) and my husband and I are still grieving. You sound like you're a little lost right now and don't know where to turn.
I turned to books. Reading lots and lots of books. About death and God and spirituality, etc. I was seeking answers like you are right now . . . and after 5 long hard years I have finally come to a place where I can accept it - without bitterness - And death in general. It's like passing from one room to the next. The soul does goes on. And I know that now. I didn't always believe it, but I do now. 100%. No doubts.
There's a world of knowledge and wisdom out there yours for the taking .....why not pick up a book? And libraries are free. Maybe you'll find answers to some of Your questions and doubts.
If you want to change your behavior - you have to change your thoughts and beliefs first. All actions originate with a thought. Through your thoughts You create your very own experience. Change your thoughts, change your experience. . . .
My heart goes out to you . . . keep seeking and God bless.

When you refer to your doctor, do you mean your GP? IF so then I would directly ask your GP to refer you to a psychiatrist, if they refuse then change doctors.
If you already see a psychiatrist then I would be open with them and say that seeing them hasn't helped. There are many other therapies/therapists that are available (on the NHS!) that you could try. Cognitive Bahaviour Therapy has a quite a high success rate, although there is a waiting list. Don't give up, everyone is different and different therapies suit different people, which is something that your doctor must make allowances for.

you need to find a decent gp that will give you a psychiatric referral and you need to insist the psychiatrist refers you for therapy... if you think you have ptsd, take a list of the symptoms and show them how much you've experienced... unfortunately it is still the case in this country that you have to fight for decent treatment, or worse, pay for it.. that said there are people that can help you and it's worth trying to find them...

You need to find a different therapist if the ones you have been seeing haven't helped. Look up one who specializes in PSTD and make an appointment with them.
