Can you get out of your house? I find it really really easy to spiral inside of my head when I am trapped in my four walls sometimes. As hard as it is, sometimes connecting with someone else (meeting a friend for coffee or whatever) or with the big outside (sitting in a park reading?) helps me get out of my head enough to bring me back to Now.

I don't think "bare minimum" means "because you are so messed up". It probably means you are working on hard things, you are starting over in a new place, and you deserve support. When I think about therapy, I think it is a "bare minimum" for me because I know it gives me a place to safely deal with my past and having that place helps me be more present the rest of the week to be there for my boys and my H and my friends.

I'm glad you reached out. Just reaching out is a really good step. What will you do next?
