Finally going back to therapy

i had a check up with my primary care doctor yesterday. i was so scared my pulse would be weird and my blood pressure would be high. But I was surprised! My blood pressure was "excellently low" (lol according to the nurse) and my pulse was nice and even, right in the target rate range. And I didn't weigh nearly as much as I thought I did. But I worked up with nerve to talk to my doctor about getting referred to a therapist for my anxiety and phobias. And I should be getting started on that soon. I'm so excited to finally be getting over this so I can enjoy the things I do again.

That's a very good report from the dr. I always think the worst, too): Let us know about your therapy & how things go. GL! (((hugs))) jan

congratulations for being able to ask your doc to refer you to a t. It's always good to have someone to talk with. Unfortunatly I'll be looking for a new t and pdoc when I return from Indiana. But until then I'm glad to have the pdoc we have.
