    Mental Health | Therapy 💜
    You don’t actually have to have a diagnosis to g You don’t actually have to have a diagnosis to get help with what you feel might be ADHD. Yes, a diagnosis gives you access to NHS treatment and is the only way to access medication. But if you don't want to wait for an NHS therapist and want to choose who you work with, and if medication is not your preferred route of treatment anyway? The other option is to invest in therapy with someone who knows about adult ADHD. They can indeed tell you if they actually think you have it or not, perhaps saving you the cost of the psychiatrist. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is often recommended as a starting point. It helps you gain control over racing thoughts and impulsivity, and can help you gain back self-esteem. There are also psychotherapists who specialise in ADHD who can help create a bespoke program that works for your particular issues. Search on harleytherapy.com today for a therapist that can help you! #ADHD #adultADHD #mentalhealth #gethelp #ADHDsupport

    Some people ghost others because they are egotisti Some people ghost others because they are egotistical. They think that they have options so don’t have to bother being respectful. But many people ghost others because they don't know how to communicate that they aren't interested. They are worried about being hurtful and saying the wrong thing. So they say nothing, and end up being more hurtful. If it keeps happening, though... it might be time to consider that it might be related to you.. Why would people keep ghosting me? 1. You tend to date 'hard to get' types. Are the signs actually all there that they are the type who rejects others? Have they even told you they don't want anything serious, but you aren't listening? If you are attracted to unavailable sorts, you are lining yourself up with types more likely to ghost you. Perhaps on a level you are afraid of love, or believe you don't deserve good things. 2. You might over-communicate. Do you engage in really long conversations via messaging before you meet? This creates an intensity that can spiral out of control until the other person can feel so overwhelmed they back off. 3. You might have stretched the truth. Using old, outdated photos? Then expect the other person, once you show up on the date, to just overlook all that? The other person might be so surprised they go along with things on the date. They then getaway, and ghost you as you have manipulated them. 4. You have high expectations. Expect them to commit after knowing them a week? And get pushy if they don't? This shows you have control issues and also are insecure. 5. You are really desperate to be in love. Are all your friends in love and you just want to be in a relationship? Do you feel lost without someone else? Other people aren't stupid. Eventually they will sense that you are a bit lost and really needy, that it's not really them you are into, just not being alone. If they are immature and don't know to stand up for themselves, they might just vanish. Think you might have some relating issues you need help with?

    One of the clear positives of social media is that One of the clear positives of social media is that we have the ability to connect with like-minded individuals that we would never have had the chance to IRL. This why we so strongly appreciate those who share their #mentalhealth stories with us on our podcast #TherapyLab or share with us online. We know that each person who shares is connecting with another out there that is going through or has been through something similar. Sometimes that connection can change the course of life for good, and that is SO powerful! #sharedstories #youarenotalone #friendships #connection

    So what is it – stay or go? With the right sup So what is it – stay or go? With the right support, issues we think might devastate a relationship can and often are overcome by couples. This can include things like betrayal, lying, boredom, and sudden lack of sexual attraction. Couples counselling is highly recommended here. The counsellor does not tell you what to do, he or she simply helps you both communicate and seek solutions. What tends to make an ending more likely is if you don’t share values or a vision for the future, you’ve rushed in and/or built a relationship on illusions, or you are simply are not going to grow in the same direction any further. If it’s abuse you are dealing with, regardless if you are the abused or the abuser, do reach out for support. Abuse tends to be an addictive pattern. Unless we admit we are powerless in our efforts to stop accepting abuse or abusing others, the pattern tends to continue. Support can help you finally end the cycle and find the strength to make better choices. #stayorgo #breakingup #relationshiphelp #endofarelationship #goodquestions #relationships
    It’s not unusual to not meet all our intentions, It’s not unusual to not meet all our intentions, and that is ok! For example, an American study found that less than 20% of us keep up our New Years’ resolutions over the long term. If you are looking to improve though, sometimes it’s a case of understanding what a good goal is and how to implement it. This could mean learning the SMART model (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely). It can also look like engaging others to support you and check in with you at certain points. (A Harvard study found that being prompted to do things increases our carry through). But if you daily feel like you can never get done what needs to be done, forget things, or end up rushing things and not living up to your intentions? It’s worth learning about things that can affect our carry through, such as generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) and adult attention deficit disorder (ADHD).
