Tomorrow I meet with the therapist that is going to be in charge of my talk therapy. I'm nervous, and anxious, and all around overwhelmed because I don't know what's going to happen, if I'm going to like them, or where we will start. I've never been really good at talking about my problems, especially to someone I don't know that well. But at the same time, I know it will be a good thing. It will help me deal with the depression and the suicidal thoughts. It will help me deal with the random moodswings of Bipolar. And it will help me get to the bottom of a lot of the things I've been dealing with for the last few months.
But at the same time, I know a lot of people judge those in therapy. You either think we are crazy, or we are wasting our money, or something along those lines.
But let me tell you, it is NOTHING like that. We are in therapy for our own reasons, and most of the time we don't need your approval to do what we feel is best for ourselves. I found an article - 14 common misconceptions about therapy - that I'm going to share with you here.
If you question therapy at all, please take a look. Read all the way through it. And understand that we go to therapy because we have need for it. Not because it's something that we want to do. It's something that we NEED to do. Trust me when I say it's not something that I would do if I didn't feel like I needed to do it.
Anyway, just wanted to share that.
Hope everyone is having a great day
