you are taking a good stepSo my first appointment is tomorrow afternoon.
I'm actually excited because no matter what I feel like it's a step that I need to take.
But today I've been having overwhelming anxiety and I can't help but think that it's because of the appointment. So much fun...

I've been medicated for years. Years and years.More importantly, in my opinion. Get to your doctor. Tell them you are having issues and that you are seeing a therapist. If you have always had anxiety and depression issues it isn't "situational" and you may benefit from some medications. If you aren't into taking long term SSRI's, maybe try to get some Xanax or something that you can take PRN when the anxiety gets out of control. They can be fast acting and really help when you are feeling overwhelmed.
Oh, I see. Maybe I missed that part. I assume that you've tried multiple meds? Sometimes it takes quite a while to find the one(s) that work the best for you.I've been medicated for years. Years and years.
So this is an attempt to do what the medicine hasn't.
You already know you were going to struggle with opening up. Maybe the lie was a way to protect yourself about whatever it was? Or was tied to you desire to not be as open.So for those of you that have been to some sort of therapist...
Did you find it hard to be honest with the therapist?
Today was just in-take so it was basically an interview. But when i was reflecting on it tonight I realized that I flat out lied to her about something. It was only one thing that I know of that I wasn't honest about as I want this to be productive and feel like even just venting to a stranger about everything will be helpful provided that I'm open and honest about what I'm saying and thinking.
I've already sent an email to correct that information and try to right that wrong but it still makes me wonder why I felt the need to deceive to begin with.
That's also going to eat me up inside and keep me from sleeping tonight as that's basically how I work as a human.
I go back next Wednesday which should be interesting as I'll have had some time to ponder and it's immediately after a family member has a pretty big surgery.
