Sudden Skin/digestive Problems While Starting Helpful Therapy?

[untiltoday]

I see what you all mean, and maybe I *am* calling it something it might not be (positive?), but there's a part of me wondering why my new symptoms are so different from the problems I've ever had before.

It's either hard to explain the exact feeling, or I'm holding back my exact explanation as I find it very difficult to say exactly what I mean sometimes. I also have a fear of writing and I am still learning how to write better: not in an awkward coded type language to avoid saying exactly what I mean.

But yes: I have just realized while reading these comments, that yes, I am actually confronting a long term fear of returning to therapy. It's double-sided, because it's a doctor PLUS a person-in-general...and having to talk about myself. :/

But thank you all for these ideas!

Absolutely nothing wrong with you expressed yourself untiltoday. I think you were very clear. I also think it's absolutely fine to trust yourself that you are in a positive phase.

Stress comes in many forms in my experience. Sometimes it can be positive as it is releasing emotional energy that has been trapped.

Boy do I sympathise. Except you are one step ahead of me. Well done for doing it!

@Abstract I hope you can also find something that helps you: it is a frustrating thing to try to do.

It's only been a month for me: but even though I kick and scream with driving myself to appointments, feel like fleeing the therapy office at emotional (or unknowingly emotional) times...I still feel at least a *bit* better as I put my sunglasses on and walk out after. ;)
