Scary next step

The last few days have been pretty tough, with alot of new things on my mind and not enough sleep I started to feel a bit overwhelmed by it all.
Last night I tried to reply to messages and blog somewhere else, in the end I had to accept my brain simply needed a rest.

In the months since that I have been here theres so much that I have learned. I'm far more accepting of where I am, I know how to recognise feelings better and I'm getting better at knowing what I need to do for myself. I'm finding talking to people and talking about thing here easier than I first did.

Yesterday I seen my psychiatrist, we didn't talk much about the new symptoms I've been having. I think he expects me to talk to the psycologist about this, I will work on the other stuff with them too.
He asked if I wanted to start treatment for agoraphobia, which is exposure therapy, before or after I start seeing the psycologist.
I took a risk and said before.

I want to get better.


This is scary :scared:/>

yes, MissHannah it is a big step and I am so very very proud of you. I want you to know that I'll ride along in your pocket, hold your hand and sit with you. I know you are scared but the determination I see in your post is strong and courageous. You can do this.

Take gentle care of yourself.
