For my personal t: I fill out the depression/anxiety scale form for him. Then I quickly read through my journal from the past week on my phone. I want to make sure that we discuss everything that needs to be brought up over the next 45 minutes and I will have likely have written about it beforehand. I really like my t. I generally look forward to my appts with him. This waiting room is actually a comfort place for me, just as his office is too. It means he's coming out to get me. Yes, I realize that might sound a bit strange.

For my eating disorder t: I try and distract myself the entire time waiting for her to come out and get me. I really don't want to be there each week as I know we're heading for the scale the first thing. I like my t, but I'm never happy to see her right away, so the fake smile is on. On the inside, my anxiety levels are sky high from the morning until the weight stuff is done.
