New here

So I'm new here and not to sure how this works but I have been feeling depressed lately and had some things happen over the past few weeks that have made me feel so much worse. I have finally decided that it is time for me to seek help and I have my first appointment with a therapist next week I'm nervous, excited and scared all at the same time. I'm hoping it's normal to feel this way with your first time getting help with something like this.

Good for you for reaching out and getting help. I think it's normal to feel nervous about a new appointment. Just tell yourself you're excited. It's a similar emotion but less negative. Good luck with that and welcome here.

I think its all very natural to feel that way about the unknown. I think its great you introduced yourself here, this is really a safe, supportive and responsive group. Welcome. Open up as much as you feel comfortable.

Hello and welcome! All those feelings about starting therapy sound perfectly normal to me. I'm sorry to hear that things have been so difficult for you recently but it's great that you're reaching out to get some help and support.
