I am absolutely thrilled to read through the comments on this thread. (((((HUGS!)))))
Yes, it seems it is still true that at many times people are more alike then they are different ... that we all struggle with this, must be a normal reaction to all of the pain we have for sure, if we all share it in common, and the simplest way to put it is...like WePow said, when we want to bail thats probably when we shouldn't... will come out stronger on the other side I hope and good luck to all of you as you go to your appointments... i hope a lot of the anxiety clears up as I know how this feels...

btw, my session went pretty well today, I still have anxiety but, hey' I had it at a much higher level before I went....
and yes, this is still my Old T. The one I have been with for over a year.
I still remain terrified of making an appointment with a school counselor.....
of course, I will probably cave and do it one of these days,
as my current counselor charges and is farther from the university!
