New update on my progress

[heavenly]

I had my first therapy appointment last night and It is good to be back. I don't have to pay nearly as much for the next 4 weeks because my therapist wants to make sure I come. After our appointment, it was clearly diagnosed that I am beyond the point of extreme exhaustion and I just stopped. So we are going to work on a plan and also she was telling me I am on a downward healing spiral... and that is a good thing even though it feels awful because it means I am reaching a deeper level of my issues. I hope she is right.

I went to dr today and was prescribed a very low dose of anti-depressant. I am really nervous about taking this because I really disliked talking with him in person today and I hope he makes the right judgment.

I'm so glad you made an appointment and it sounds like there are some positive things to look forward to!

Good for you for making some strides in taking care of yourself! Keep up the therapy and I'm sure things will continue to look up for you.

I'm not sure what you mean with this last part. It sounds like you aren't comfortable with your dr? That could be a problem because you really need a dr you can open up to.

That's great about your therapy! Hang in there. I know I wouldn't be functioning without therapy and my AD's.

I am not really comfortable being open...but he emphasize that he is not a therapist and only focus on the external physical issues to prescribe and that was that. I knew that in a sense but it just seemed really cold and he was so random with weird questions that I was not so sure how it related. He was also rushing.

Im glad things are going better for you and you are getting the help you need. Also, see if you can find a Dr that you feel more comfortable with!
