Hey Marie,

I saw my therapist today and now it seems like it'll be a dreadfully long wait until next Tuesday!

The therapy may help you as much as medicine! (Just my opinion, I'm not telling you what to do!) But I understand what you're saying about not wanting to get rid of the anxiety. After a while I think it becomes part of your (or someone's) identity. Y'know, like I have to wonder "who would I be if I weren't troubled by these particular issues?" Y'know?

But go enjoy therapy! It's been such a major thing in my life. I find lots of little ways that I do things have been affected by therapy. Just talking about how I interact has helped me to do it in more healthy ways. It is amazing. I wish I'd tried it long ago!
