Successful Appointment

[WesternSky]

I had my third appointment with a psychiatrist/psychologist (?) today (the one that basically writes prescriptions). I took my partner again, but I did most of the talking this time. More importantly, this is the first time I didn't cry in the office. (I will admit a little bit beforehand, but the first two times I had breakdowns in his office because I was so scared of him.)

Also, I finally made an appointment to see a therapist. I may still cry for her though.

Hard to help someone who is afraid of the therapists just for their profession.

Hang in there and congratulation on a good appointment. Do not be hard on yourself about crying or breaking down they are things we need to do with the traumas we have suffered.

Congrats. I am happy it went well. Don't be hard on yourself for the tears. It's all part of healing.

Well said Safenow. :)

You are doing well and have taken the first step on a better path. Carry on with that and allow your emotions to be there.

Best wishes

Congrats on being there and for allowing your emotions to be present!

Great stuff!

It is hard to be emotional in such situations but I believe it is a brave thing to do.
