Therapy is definitely challenging at first, not knowing what to say or talk about. I went through that very difficult time. I found writing things down then bringing it in helped a LOT.

I wrote down whatever thoughts came to mind...whether it was my husband, family, stress from work, from life, anything. I didn't worry about how it sounded or if it made sense. If I thought about it, I wrote it down. I would even write down the good days I had, when I felt good or accomplished a small goal.

It's weird, but once you say something in therapy, your therapist usually knows how to take that and run with it and get you to open up more, which is the whole goal.
