Do A Lot Of You Guys Have Therapists? I've Been Thinking Of Getting One Because My HS Is Really Effecting My Mental Health Lately.
I've had HS for 8 years now. Even though it's the summer I'm still depressed because of my HS. It just sucks. I only get them on the groin area which is just so uncomfortable and hard to explain to others. Most days I can't even walk without pain.
Thanks for your reply. Yeah I was interested in getting Better help even though it's costly. I'll look into if there is insurance. I'm glad it helped you and that your doing better now! I have no coping mechanisms right now and my HS is flaring up really badly. I'm also having suicidal thoughts. I'll try to get a therapist.
i understand and you're not alone ♥ i have BPD (borderline personality disorder) and Bipolar depression type 1 so i understand the toll that suicidal thoughts have and when you've never had them before it can seriously take a toll. i'm proud of you for reaching out for help before things get worse. you are strong and i belive in you. you got this.
when i was 19 (i'm 22 now) i got a therapist mostly because my boss was a monster and i needed help with dealing with that but i told her about my HS and she was fascinated so she researched it. the next session she was ready to help me handle the negative feelings i had about my HS and my body image issues. i used better help and found a therapist that was but i paid out of pocket idk if they do insurance now. but i haven't had a therapist since October 2022 and i can honestly say it really helped. i had once a week sessions from October 2020 to October 2022. it helps that i had built up coping mechanisms from past trauma and just kinda repressed them for my HS and body issues.
