The first session is always the worse. Sometimes you don't know what to say, too nervous to speak, want to avoid it etc. I've been in therapy for 8 yrs so going to my sessions no longer cause me to have panic attacks like it use to.

I'm glad that it went well, and glad you didn't clam up alot of people do.

If you find that some stuff is hard to discuss with your doctor write it out on paper and bring it in, let her/him get the ball rolling. That is what i've done and still continue to do. Actually I just did that on my last session this week. It helps get it out in the open. I as well see my psychiatrist every 2 weeks, sometimes it's a month... but i'm ok with that because as of right now everything is going pretty well.

Good job, you definatly are making progress, just seeking help is the major step that will change everything for you in a postive way.

Good luck to you.
