From the bottom of my heart, thank you all. Today was great. I was able to do well at work, laugh with my friends, buy supplies to make a dessert I have been craving, and most importantly, make an appointment to see a therapist on Monday to begin CBT therapy. I know this is an agnostic forum, but I see that it is more than that. The positivity and love found here is truly heartwarming. I feel like this is all a step in the right direction.
Have you thought about joing the mental health support group on this site?
@Bverret2012 Oh, cool. I haven't been in it too much lately... too much stress going on to think about my stress.
What this boils down to, in the crucible, is we're still just people, humans. I think ...I believe that the selective absence of an organized religion, if you will, allows us to be simply authentic. Life doesn't have to be complex. We make it too complicated to our detriment. That's great you've made strides! I know people, friends of mine on fb thst deal with anxiety and depression every day. We even have a fb page of support called "wine, whiskey, whatever " where we all present our triggers or search for our triggers. Our trials and tribulations. But it's largely support. I reiterate allow yourself to dig. Self awareness is KEY! it's about the journey not just the destination!
You should feel good inside, now that you'll have some type of therapy. My day was good too.
@Bverret2012 if you are happy then we are too. Don't stop now, ok? Keep the momentum going. ?
