thanks everybody for the advice and suggestions. i'm just so anxious about everything and my mind goes blank when i get stressed out. that's why i wanted to write things down. i guess a half-page of just the important things that i'd want to go over at some point, like my social anxiety and those sorts of things, would be good to at least have handy, just so i'll remember it.

i know the first session is just to meet the T, but where i'm going i don't get to choose anyone. i'm probably misconstruing the whole idea of therapy but meh...it's hard for me to say "no i don't like this person" so i end up getting stuck with people who, sure they're nice people, but they aren't right for me...i should probably mention that in a first session, maybe? seems like a good idea right now...
