So great to hear there is inspiration in this!!
Yes hotlines are awful - I once called one during a panic attack in my early 20s while I was in Hollywood with an emotionally abandoning boyfriend and just having a horrible time (I unfortunately understand Lindsay Lohan after going through a mild, non-drugged out version of that) and they were cold and condescending.
Interesting - I will make sure I reach out to my prayer chain when I begin sessions (I'm tightly involved with my church who were the only ones who reached out to give me rides/feed me/call me during this current CPTSD flare up - I lost 80% of my friends including all the millennials but I'm glad it happened b/c I can see who my real friends are). My T also said to call his work cell phone if I'm at the end of my rope.
We're doing history taking right now and I'm having a GREAT time. I found the right therapist for now and yesterday I actually cooked my first full breakfast since this bout of illness. I did it again today. I still have the shakes when I get mad (which is everytime I interact with my crappy iphone lol and sometimes computers b/c I hate electronics), but I can feel incredible healing since I started therapy. My nausea has subsided and I can ride in the back seat of an Uber again without dry heaving (will try to drive again at some point). I'm getting up in the mornings again and my tremors are less. Highly recommended!
