Tomorrow

So today I had my first visit with a therapist. I am hopeful that this will help with the terrible anxiety and panic I have been having. I am hoping the adjustment to my meds will also help. I am hoping to go back to work tomorrow and need lots of prayers and good vibes. I am scared to death!!!

I hope therapy does help you, but remember even if it doesn't help with this therapist there are others out there. It took me a while to find the right one for me. Good luck going back to work tomorrow. Hope its easier than you think it will be.

How did you find the right one?

Unfortunately it took trial and error. Usually it only takes one or two visits to know if you will connect or not. At least that's how it was for me.

Good thoughts and prayers for you. Just going to see a therapist is a huge first step. Pat yourself on the back - you got this!

Prayers and good vibes coming your way! Good for you for following through with the appointment. Sending my very best the good things are just around the corner, sweet lady!

Jen42,I also have bad anxiety and panic.

I have been with the same therapist for 9 years and I know it has helped me. I am also on meds. It will be helpful.

My thing is how comfortable I feel with the therapist. I felt pretty comfortable with her so hopefully she will be the right one.

Hey there, I have my very first appointment with a therapist on Monday and like you were I am pretty stressed about it. It is a big step to me. I am not on any meds and hopefully won't need any. Are you still seeing that same therapist ? How are you feeling now compared to before starting therapy? Hope all goes well! xo

So my first therapist appointment didn’t go so well but within a week a found another therapist and have been seeing her since January. It’s been a long process I am still not there with my meds but I am getting there. I know I am not as bad as I was in January but still it’s a struggle everyday. I will get through it and you will too.

I recently have been diagnosed as bi polar. I started new meds and that really has helped me. Still have the nagging anxiety but not as intense as I had been. Going in -patient really helped getting my meds adjusted but still need motivation to have more structure in my life and would really enjoy having friendships; which I don’t have. I see therapist next week for first time and hoping to get in a support group. For me, I think I need structure in my days so I may try volunteering since I’m retired.
