I just met with a therapist for the first time.
I have been depressed for ages now, and it felt like it was escalading to be too intense for me to handle.
I had to call 3 people over 2 days time in order to get a response. The second person called me back within 24 hours, and set up an appointment. Shortly after, the 3rd person called back. The first person I called, never called. Its been 3 and a half days- what gives?
So I met with her, filled out paperwork, and was crying before we even dove into why i was there.
We didnt have much time to get anywhere, it was mostly just seeing where I am now, and a little background history. I cried throughout most of it.
Now, I feel a little more hopeful, with appointments for the next 2 weeks, and a few words of encouragement.
I also feel drained, but still have that feeling that this will never end, that I'll always feel this way (since I always have)
I'm hoping that will change.

 Feeling silly | Posted Jul 22nd, 2008 at 1:21PM I went through the same thing, recently. The first two times is just for your therapists to get to know you as a person. After that, the real work begins and it does get better... if you have a good therapist, that is. But I wish you all the luck! ;-) |
