Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I have therapy tomorrow. It will be the second meeting with her and I'm super anxious. I plan on giving her my journal and have her read about what I've been thru. I'm so worried about how that will go and I'm worried that I'll get so anxious that I'll have a pseudo-seizure. She doesn't have experience with pseudo-seizures so if I have one she might overreact and call 911. I'm so anxious about talking about the journaling and stuff, I don't want to. This is all so hard, it's all too hard. It's never going to get better.
You've probably written some confidential stuff and the thought of sharing that is causing this anxiety - so don't!
I've had to work hard to keep my private therapists so I try to focus on them in the beginning. Try to see what their personality is like and whether I like that personality.
Build up trust with superficial stuff dip your toe in the water see how they respond did it work and feel good?
Don't plunge into the swimming pool you don't know how warm or cold it is yet
