I decided to seek out some outside help with my recovery as their are some things that I have learned through al-anon about myself that I feel I need some outside help with.
The appointment is this morning but I made it about 2 weeks ago and today I feel great! What's the issue again? lol
I can't seem to put into words what was bugging me back then. Hopefully it'll come. I feel nervous about this. I don't want to waste our times.
Well, SP. If its any to you - perhaps "fear of the unknown" has come to pay you a visit? Planning what we're going to say when we get somewhere puts us in the future or into the past. What might happen if you simply trust that when you get to your appointment, your HP will give you the words you can say that will be of help to you?
For the first session she said she was just going to let me talk and I spent a good portion of the hour talking. She specializes in mental illness and addiction so I really enjoyed that aspect.
I'm so glad it went well for you today when you followed through on your choice to seek out someone skilled in mental illness and addiction. Great news!
