Mental Health Support
In reply to the discussion: Well, I survived the first session and cried just once. Pretty good for me. [View all]I don't recall being one of those who encouraged you but I will attest to the good taking the advice can bring.
Counseling, talk therapy, whatever it's called, is very helpful I've found. I was at my therapist's today and I am glad to have someone to talk over my issues, challenges, and gains. There's nobody else in my world, nearby and could devote the time, who could serve as such a confidant.
When I get overwhelmed is when I need her most and usually what she does is help me whittle all the problems down to bite-sized compartments that are each resolvable by some less than life changing alterations in my life or taking a simple action. That way they can be prioritized and that usually solves my greatest episodes, otherwise I go to make sure I'm not veering off the pavement unnoticed.
My anxiety levels are up around the ceiling fan and it's a struggle to deal with simple stuff lately. If it weren't for the therapy, I'd really be roughing it. I'm so thankful it's covered under my disability/medicare insurance, I went for decades without this treatment.
I'm glad you've taken this step, I think it will be beneficial for you, you'll see.
