Thank you for the explanation. I doesn't know, but is seems to me that things which show your doubts about the future would be valid things to put on such a board. Dragging my doubts out of my secret closet, into the light of day is always my first step toward envisioning a brighter future.

Sounds good.

There are no right or wrong ways to do vision boards, or journaling.

We are all unique. Just write what you want to write. No one is grading you :)

Good job on going to therapy!

Congrats on taking the leap into therapy. It is NOT easy to make that move. I have benefited from it and hopefully you will too.

I will say, counseling takes 3-4 sessions to start settling in and for them to get to know you and your story. Good luck!
We will be here for you!

Hey there want happiness. Hope you are doing well. Therapy is may take a while to make it feel like something has started but be patient and you will reap the benefits. A lot of the success in your therapy will rely on your effort. Some sessions may seem less productive than others but hang in there. At the end of the day all that you are doing is bettering your perspective of yourself. I say the perspective because you already are perfect, you just have to notice that. Good luck and stay at it.

    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...
