So Here’s How Today Went...

[JDGarza]

Had my first therapy session today and it went well.

Already made two follow up appointments.

She also recommended joining this non profit organization that has a support group as well as an adult education class that essentially teaches you more about whatever your diagnosis was (I have three, but the big one is obviously depression) and I signed up for it.

Also went to another bible study today and it was good.

My therapist also encouraged me to start exercising daily because it can help. Haven’t done it yet. Just don’t feel like up to it right now, but I need to at least try.

Also got invited to bowling later. That should be fun and that’s exactly what I need right now.

Do you know the name of the non profit?

NAMI.

We're actually doing a walk for NAMI in May. We did it last year, and met some really fine people. There is a support group but unfortunately the drive is far from me. Thank you for your post.

I had not heard of the adult ed classes just the support groups- I'll have to look into that and see if that is available in our area.

I definitely agree with the exercising!! I recently started at a new gym and it’s been a good motivation to get myself up and out of my house and my brain also tends to feel a lot less foggy after a work out (I deal with a lot of anxiety induced racing thoughts) so it may be worth giving exercise a try good for you for taking that step of going to therapy!!
