therapy
« Thread Started on Feb 7, 2005, 1:26pm »

Tomorrow I meet with my new therapist, and ED specialist, for the first time and to be completly honest, I am scared out of my mind about the whole thing. I don't know what exactly I am afraid of but I just don't feel good about the appointment at all. First appointments are always hard because you have to do the whole history of everything and its exhusting and stressful and I guess I just don't want to do any of it. Plus I feel like where I am here at school I don't have anyone who I can really talk to about the appointment so there is no one to vent to about what I like/ don't like, and I guess that makes it a little worse. I know I need to do this but I really don't want to. Any advice?

Shadow, I am so happy that you are willing to get help

Sadly, I don't have any great advice other than just remember that your therapist is there to help you. However, they can only help as much as you are willing to open up and be honest with them. This is a great opportunity - don't waste your time or your therapist's time by playing games. I know that this is easier said than done but when I look back on my days in therapy this is the one thing that I regret most - the fact that i didn't appreciate that every minute with my therapist was a gift. Instead, I wasted a lot of time lying to my therapist and myself.

Best of luck shadow, I'll be thinking of you

Thanks for asking Faith... today went okay... I don't know what I think about her yet. She was nice and all but I felt really out of sorts trying to tell her things. I was honest though which made me feel better when the appointment was over. I felt like I had released some of the tension I have in me which was refreshing. I am really tired tonight though, emotionally exhusting and my friends just took me out to dinner for my birthday which was extremely stressful because I don't like eating out and food has been really hard lately. Hopefully if I continue to see this therapist this fear will disapate though. Thanks for your support. I will check in later.
