Mental Health

I was accepted to the Mental Health facility in the city for low income people, so my meds and treatment might actually be in my reach! Yay! I can do this! Also, I lost five pounds this week. Double yay!

nice! I\'m glad to hear you are going to get some help. I have been doing both for a while now and it is honestly the best decision I ever made. But you have to make sure you are open, honest and put in the work to better yourself. You can do it! Best of luck to you!

I agree with anxietymc. Being open and honest in therapy, AND putting in the work is key to the best you EVER.

And just to be honest with you, it is painful work....at times excruciating, to face truths about ourselves that we haven\'t been willing to face.

I hope you get a good counselor. I didn\'t like mine, personally. She didn\'t coddle me. She didn\'t tell me everything would be okay, i\'m a good person and it\'s everyone else\'s fault for being mean to me, give me a hug and blow sunshine up my ...nostrils. She made me face my demons.

Even while I will have my last session next week, I still don\'t feel any deep abiding love for her....but damn, she was just the reality check I needed, and I couldn\'t have asked for better.
