Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
Noticed I had tommorrow marked for a therapy appmt.and had not recalled scheduling that far ahead. I took out the card I had in my purse with the number and other appmts on it and sure enough I had. My mind is just not with it between anxiety and depression and the overall just keeping it together enough most days to work. I had to cancel the last session due to snow -ice and bad roads and as I did not give a 24 HR notice it will subsequently bump off all future appmts.! I just now seen that..argh. So as of tommorrow, that appmt is cancelled as I did not give 24 hrs notice. Maybe its for the best. I couldn't express myself anyway, it was local and I couldn't even take being in the waiting area as I was filled with dread and embarrassment. By no means am I advising anyone else not to try therapy, but it just didn't seem to be in the cards for me. So back to work as usual and maybe just journel. Thanks for listening.
If you wanted to go to the appt. tomorrow, i would at least call the office and just see if you are still scheduled.
I really can't believe they would hold you to a 24 hour notice if during the night you got a bunch of snow and couldn't get there.
It's whatever you want to do. I know how disappointed you sounded when you couldn't get there.
Take care of yourself,

It is all about what you want to do. As someone for whom therapy has been extremely helpful, I do know that it can take weeks if not months to really open up and figure out how the therapist can best help you.
I will also share with you that I have terrible tendencies to find about one million reasons I can't go to therapy, especially if there's something really stressful going on that i think I don't want to talk about.
Every single time, I'm *always* better off when I go than when I don't go.
My therapist will laugh when I tell her I've shared this, and she'll tell me to remember my own advice next time I want to cancel.
I really hope I haven't offended you or crossed a line, and I'm truly sorry if I have. I just want to know that you're doing everything reasonably possible to take super good care of yourself -- like I want for all of us!!
