I had my first T appointment today , so it was basically just the "get to know you and why you're here" session

Turns out, that the main cause of my depression is the fact that I don't know who I am. So we will be working to discover who I really am.

I am excited to get started on this journey... and a tiny bit nervous too.

More than very good. (((((Manda86))))) The first step in beating our depression is getting the right person to help us understand it. Going to a therapist is a "Job Well Done" for you. Good luck!!

Manda, that`s GREAT!

It's definitely scary approaching the cause(s) of your depression, but it will be SO worth it! I'm glad that you're managing to figure things out, and good luck in your future therapy sessions.
