I have been going to therapy now for a few months and because of that I have not been on here much. I feel different. The world looks brighter (and it’s not because of the random cataract surgery I had in June 😅). CBT has literally changed how I view the world. I still have my struggles but I am not controlled by them any longer. It is an amazing feeling. I went so long telling myself I didn’t need therapy and joking with my husband that I should go. I woke up one morning and realized that I couldn’t keep living my life the way I was. Constant panic attacks that would last hours or days, random phobias I never had before (driving/riding in the car was one of them), intense bouts of anger and just generally being annoyed with everything. It was a struggle to get out of the house some days. But I wanted to share my success. I know therapy isn’t for everyone but it has helped so much and I absolutely love my therapist and I really think that makes a huge difference in treatment. If you’ve been on the fence about therapy I definitely wanted to come here and recommend trying it.

Are you also on an SSRI? I want to start CBD but was told it could interfere with meds. I’m considering weaning myself off.
That's wonderful & I'm so happy for you! I have been on the fence about therapy for quiet some time. Carson Daily on the Today show once spoke about finding a good cognitive behavioral therapist & was talking about what a difference that made. I've tried finding one that specializes in that near me , but no luck yet. I love to hear when people have finally found some relief from all this madness though! Thank you for sharing. 😊
It really has been wonderful. Hopefully you can find someone near you. I definitely feel like my brain has been reworked and it’s so relieving.
So thrilled it has helped you
I have just finished mine and it's been wonderful
I totally agree anyone not sure about it go as you have nothing to lose except anxiety
Wishing you all the very best 💕
Glad for you, I've been off and on with therapy. I've stopped going for now, can't afford to go. I have other health issues that need my attention and cost. Honestly not sure therapy was even working for me. But your right it's Not for everybody.
Love it! Therapy saved me from dying 40 yrs anorexia and PTSD 7 yrs now same therapist it is great u said it very well much brighter light I wake up daily with all my armor to stay recovered and therapy gave me the armor my past from abuse will not define who I am today I won the battle of the mind and will always b n control not anorexia thank you the days I struggle I fight harder and it is power of positive thinking
