So my first appointment with T is on Tuesday...and I am really dreading it. I know it's something I need to do, and it will probably help, but I just don't want to, I am NOT looking forward to it AT ALL. I am going to follow through with it, I just don't feel like I'm ready. But one of my friends said I'll never feel ready enough to, so it's sort of a 'leap of faith' if you will.

Bottom line...I'm scared. Eep I'm scared...

Eep I'm scared... Ok, now quit thinking about it. Make a note to remind you , and then work at NOT thinking about it... and "just" go. It won't kill you,and you can leave once you go in if you feel it isn't right, etc.

mandazzle, good for you for taking this step and heading to therapy. I agree with the others--the first session really is not that bad. I hope you got a good T. Just think of it as a big adventure!

I also agree with everyone else, try not to think about it to much and the first appointment usually isn't to bad. Good luck at your appointment and congrats for taking that first step. Eep I'm scared...

DePressMe is right...it's a big adventure....an adventure into the world of taking good care of yourself! Remember, this time is all about you hon. To help you learn and grow.....and that's a wonderful thing!

As with anything in life, doing something for the first time brings some fears and trepidation....but you will be fine. Take some deep breathes....do some positive self talk and dig right in!

I'm glad you are going (((((((((( manda ))))))))))))

Hello Manda. The first visit to a therapist is Always a Little Scary for anyone. The main thing to remember is that everything will be okay and that you are there to get the help you need. Take care Manda. PM anytime. Soidhonia

Thanks everyone.
I just don't even know what to say. I guess...I can't believe this is happening.
