Feeling hopeful

[Msheatherlady]

I had what I feel like was a much needed session with my therapist this morning. We talked a lot about the fears I have, relating to death and social anxieties related to romantic relationships, and it was very cathartic. She helped me to not necessarily end all answer the questions, because they are unanswerable questions, but gave me answers that I can understand and be okay with to move forward. I feel hopeful and like the fears I have are something I can accept and move forward from. And I know I may say this now and then later feel down all over again but I feel like I’ve gained knowledge to help me keep going.

I hope maybe one person reading this will know that things get better. Your fears don’t define you.

Thank you so much for a positive post... I read many a reply that say we can't get better.. I disagree with this 100%! If you put enough work into yourself ...positive will happen for you... I know .. I've been through a whole lot in my life... I think the first key is forgiveness..for yourself and anyone that has wronged you...once you do that...a ton has been lifted off your shoulders and it's much easier to move forward in life... Yes we will still have those difficult days yet we know they will pass and we can move forward with a happy positive attitude...

You've done some wonderful work on yourself today...Congratulations and nothing but the best for you moving forward!

I agree as well. I have had a lot of healing in my life. Lots of work, but it continues to pay off. Self forgiveness is so powerful. 🥰 And it feels so good. Healing....it’s a continual non-linear process.

Thank you for agreeing with me.. Our brains are so very powerful...if we feed tons of positive into it..then tons of positive will come back to us. Keep up the fantastic work you're doing for yourself, the reward will be huge for you... Let's now just keep moving forward with love and happiness.....

I totally agree. Getting better begins with your mindset and the belief and hope that you can get better. The moment you start doubting is when you reach a roadblock and can't make progress. I always think that we are our own worst enemy. it's important to forgive yourself as well as everyone else. Holding a grudge doesn't solve anything and tends to do more harm then good. I appreciate the response

Dear Msheatherlady,

I’m right there with you. My therapist has helped me with very similar fears, worries, etc.

I keep saying over and over again that we the ones seeking to understand our mental health by seeking supportive help are the courageous ones.

And congratulations on your recent discovery in your therapy. It is a feel-good.

Best,

MZ ❤️

Thank you. I needed to hear this. 🙂I just reached out to my therapist for additional sessions to get me through this particularly tough time.

The harder you work the bigger the pay off. You may have some disturbing times but you should be encouraged by that , it means you're getting close to the issue that's upsetting you . Well done you.

Hi Msheatherlady

I am glad your therapy was so helpful. Sounds like you were really understood. The more you accept things and move on, the easier it will get to do so the next time and the less you will forget to make that happen. Best. ❤️ Thanks for sharing .
