Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Right now I'm debating whether or not I want to see my therapist. I just went through a rough time with my anxiety for the last couple of weeks. I got through it though and now I'm doing great :) For various reasons I was unable to see her during that time. I wanted to, but it just didn't work out. It's a long story so I'm not going to explain it all. I want to see her because I know of want to discuss the process I went through to deal with the anxiety. Usually when I reach that level of stress that I was under I would talk with her at some point while it was happening, but this time I did it on my own. I feel like it may be beneficial for me to talk about the process and what I did differently that I was able to get through it without her help this time. At the same time, I feel like it's kind of pointless to talk about it since it's over now.
I see a therapist in my schools health center and by the end of last semester I was doing great and we decided I didn't need regularly scheduled appointments anymore. She said I could come back if I just wanted to check in or felt like I needed to talk, so I guess this fits that idea. I'm just wondering though since I'm doing fine now is this a dumb reason to make an appointment.
Thanks ahead for the advice!

I don't think that's a dumb reason to see your therapist at all! In fact, I think that's a very good idea. It's wonderful you were able to work through the rough patch of anxiety you had. Processing that with a therapist would be a great idea, and could be beneficial in solidifying your technique/the process you used so that next time you encounter a similar situation, you'll be even better equipped to handle it.
By all means, schedule that appointment! Good luck and take care.
Congratulations by the way!
My therapist and so many others usually have an open door policy.
I only see mine a few times a year unless I am going through a rough patch.....gives me a tune-up LOL.
I say go for it.....it can't hurt.
