starting therapy
| Mon, 02-23-2009 - 10:16pm |
My life is on a downward spiral. I dont even know where to start with this, so please bear with me. I have over the past few years made some REALLY bad decisions, i dont feel like I am a bad person, but I do feel like if I dont get help now, things will keep getting worse for me. A part of me feels like a lot of my current issues are a direct result of something that happened as a child, something I have repressed for a very long time, I have never spoke of this to anyone, except recently my H, but he is less than supportive, and has no clue how to be there for someone in need, so I can count him out. I have an appt with a therapist in a few weeks, I feel like I am ready to talk, but when the time comes, what if I clam up, and cant get it out? has anyone been in this situation? I just hope this therapist is a good fit for me, cause the last one I had, tried to hit on me, I have a woman this time. I am scared to death to get even a little bit of these emotions out, I am afraid i will lose my mind, anway, thanks for reading.

You know, I haven't been ready to share it here quite yet. I am getting closer to being able to share it but I am not quite there yet. I am still working through quite a bit of anguish and pain and I want to work through it all before I go around sharing it. I am learning a lot about myself through counseling and Group and I think I am getting closer. I wish you the best of luck. Let me know if you need anything You are always welcome to email me through my profile.
You are loved, You are Special, You are WORTH IT!
That is absolutely wonderful and GOOD to hear. I am glad you were able to open up to someone. It is okay to build a trust with someone before you tell them everything! Good for you. Sometimes it will be really hard and other times you will totally understand it. I am proud of you for going to your therapist and opening up! Keep up the great work and you will be able to heal!
Good luck also when you start taking your hubby. I don't have that luxury because mine works away from home during the week. Anyway good luck and I hope to hear many more happy posts from you. Also if you have to post angry mean horrible posts thats okay too :)
You are loved, You are Special, You are WORTH IT!
