anxious....

So... I have physical therapy later this morning and I'm freaking out about it.

The rational part of my brain is telling me it is nothing. I have an evaluation and they will tell me what is up and what the plan is. That is all!

The rest of my brain is freaking out... "they're just going to tell you you're fat and lazy." I know i'm fat... but i'm not lazy at least i dont' think...

Has anyone had physical therapy? I'm being ridiculous for being anxious and such right? My fat self isn't going to disappear in a few hours so i have to deal with it anyway....

I don't think you're being ridiculous at all. It makes sense that you would be anxious about an evaluation and starting something new. I also understand what it's like to worry about how you'll be judged. I've never gone through physical therapy, but I get nervous before seeing a new doctor. Maybe it will help to keep in mind that the PT folks work with all kinds of people...underweight and overweight, in-shape and out-of-shape...and they are only there to help you feel better. I hope your appointment went well! Hugs, Judy

Thank you :) hugs

It went ok. we made a plan, they agreed i have pain for a reason, and it should be good. I am nervous though, i will be having pool therapy and physical therapy and i haven't been in a pool in 8 years because i'm fat and... i don't like to go in there :/ I am hoping i won't be mocked in there too like i am normally. I'm hoping it is just going to be therapy and peace. we'll see.

I'm glad things went OK at your PT session. That's awful that you've been mocked in the past. Sometimes, people do that because they're insecure themselves. I hope this experience is a better one for you!

Thank you both :) I'm trying to think positively and ignore the words of others (which have been vast this weekend)
