and my therapist. Feeling very on edge about it. I don't know how he is going to take the thing that I have told my therapist about our relationship and his addiction. He still has no idea about bp and doesn't seem to want to learn. I could use some encouragement!!

go angipu! :) ...seriously, the theraphist would have experience in dealing with sensitive situations and reading people's reactions so don't stress.

Painful as it may be it is something that has to be done if your relationship is ever going to survive. Better to get the ball rolling as soon as possible so you both start fixing problems rather than to put it off and have things get worse. Good luck to you both.

My psychiatrist, who is also my therapist, has included my husband and then added my daughter with my treatment. Not with every session obviously. He has experience with this and it has worked out well. I'm sure it will work out fine.
Take care. Beth

I have the same kind of appointment coming up soon also and it makes me nervous. I have to trust that my tdoc can handle the situation delicately.

my wife was afraid to see my therapist at first because she imagined all kinds of horrible outcomes but with a good one it can really help

My wife was hesitant at first, but she ended up really liking him. She wasn't sure how it worked.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
