I started therapy yesterday. I am not sure how I feel.

Actually that may be a very good sign! Keep putting energy into therapy, and be as honest as you can, as honest as you are ready to be.

Congratulations, starting therapy is a HUGE step!

I started therapy for the third time last May and it has been such a savior. Trust me, it is worth it, and initially I did not even want to go because I did not feel it was worth it, but its like having someone each week to vent to and not be judged, but be supported and helped. Once you get to know your therapist and your therapist gets to know you, you'll even feel a little more better/comfortable when going there.

Wishing you the best, ts1050

Interview a few therapists until you find someone you ckick with

Studies say it's the relationship that predicts outcome better than technique
