My issues are not at an acute point right now. My therapy is completely supportive, meaning that there is no concrete goal I'm trying to achieve. My therapist says I can continue seeing her as long as I want, so I do.

But when I first started, yes it was hard. My head was tuned into nothing but suicide and it was a challenge to put on my "normal" face. I also had to figure out how to do my scheduling so that I didn't have to constantly explain why I had to leave in the middle of the day. I was very secretive and scared that I would be found out. Fortunately I have flex leave and I was able to snatch a good time slot.
