Tomorrow's Friday. Then it's the weekend! Before I know it, I'll be meeting Meredith. I've started drawing again and there's one drawing I want to bring to the first therapy session. That I want to open up that quickly is a good sign. Usually it takes me a while to show my complex drawings to people. I can't wait to meet Meredith on Monday

Is this your first therapist ever? I’m asking because I’ve heard that it can take going through a bunch of therapists before you find one competent and right for you. It’s good to have hopes but keep it in mind. Wishing you good luck with therapy, tell me how it goes!

I never thought of drawing as a way of exploring my anxiety with a therapist. I've tried writing out my issues in note form to show my therapist because that's easier for me than saying it aloud. Each person has unique methods that work for him/her.

Steadying support while you wait out the last of the waiting period. Keep us posted. I'm looking forward to hearing the update on Monday.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
