Just had to share how awesome my T is and how grateful I am that I've found her.

I've been dealing with constant, low level anxiety for the past 3 or 4 days. Sunday night, I couldn't fall asleep and I kept just wanting to ask for someone to help me...I never, never ask for anyone to help me. Learned long ago that doesn't do any good. Yesterday morning, I woke up in the midst of a panic attack, and by noon, decided to actually send my T an email asking for help.

I didn't really know what I needed, just had an overwhelming urge to ask for help. I knew my T was a safe bet, I mean, I'm already paying her to help me. So, for the first time ever, I sent an email just asking for help...no apologizing, no justifying or explaining. My T replied back a few hours later that she'd heard my request for help and asked if I wanted to talk on the phone. I replied back that I didn't know what I wanted, and I didn't want to bother her during her non-working hours. About half an hour later, my T called me!!!!

We talked. It was helpful. I felt heard, and even if T couldn't fix what was going on, at least I knew that someone had heard me ask for help and knew what I was going through. At the end of the conversation, she asked for me to send her an email update today. I'm so grateful that T can recognize how hard it is for me to ask for help, and reach out and meet me halfway sometimes.

That's nice to hear, I know that must mean a lot to you

Thats wonderful!
