I finally got into a place and found myself a Therapist. With all of the questions I Had I probably should have posted here sooner with those questions... However I just wasn't sure.

Anyway! I'm excited because I finally went to a local clinic and got assessed. I can receive therapy and stuff now! I'm excited cause now I don't have to try to fix my problem on my own. *does a dance*
Thanks for this!

That's awesome! It can definitely be hard to solve some of our problems on our own, so I think it's great that you got help for yourself and now have someone to talk to. I hope that everything goes well for you. Congratulations!

This is great news!

dinosaurs dances with detia

I won't say I hope it goes well (cause often therapy is hard and yuck and painful), but I will say I hope you have a fruitful and rewarding journey with great insight

Not looking at him is about keeping aspects of self hidden/secret. We know that is not the healthy choice. Keep working on this - you will get there.

Accept there are parts. Be kind and gentle with them. Working with parts and feelings is the key to happiness. We have been happy before when listened to them and accepted them and were open to feelings. Write in your journal - it is safe to do so.

Thank you guys, I know that a lot of it will be hard work and stress a good portion of the time... But I'm pretty excited to have succeeded at getting this far. I hope that it's rewarding too.

lol Dino, I love the dancing chili guys.
Thanks for this!
