Yay!

So just came back from my first therapists appointment and whoa! Feel a bit good but might be getting sick since I took medicine last night and ugh, feel sleepy and whatnot. Anyway, this therapist told me that it seems as though that I have been doing different ways to cope and heal such as writing and taking walks which made me relieved. But, she did not give me anything to take for anxiety and stress since she says I could be coming down with something. So, I see her next on 2/1/13, after my first week back at school. So, maybe this is "good" so I can tell her about school. Anyway, I have always felt ashamed and whatnot to go to therapy (mainly b/c of the whole why should I get help and not these a********** who did this to me). I will admit that I am nervous but I think I am getting more annoyed and just frustrated since I should not have to live like this. I am alive for a reason and want to start taking advantage of it (not like that) and just do what makes me happy. I love movies. I love writing. I love books. So, I would like to continue to pursue film industry and possibly TV. I want to be healthier. I want to overcome these emotions and know that I had no control over for what had happened. I know this will be tough at times and I may even want to give up, but I want to pull myself out of these feelings.



I think this is the first post I have written where I am not "angry." Just feeling sick lol
