i got myself help and got a therapist again. it was scary and hard but im proud of myself for realizing i'm drowning and i need help.

If you want mental help without going to the psych ward, you can search psychologytoday for therapists that take your insurance. You need a therapist before you need a psych, which typically deals with medications. I'm sharing this because these were the blocks i had to learn and leap over.

next week, i suppose, then. until then, i continue attempting at barely coping.

Congratulations. It's a hard thing and you did the hard thing.

the first time i called, i panicked and hung up. i can't believe she took my call when i called the second time. millenials and phone anxiety. name a more iconic duo.

Proud of you - that first step is usually the hardest. Keep hanging on <3

i hope its the hardest. it sure was scary. i hung up on the therapist the first time because lol phone anxiety.

O_O I hate phones. I'm glad you at least picked up or called back or whatever!!! LOL

I've never had phone therapy, but I feel like it's prolly harder because you don't get the body cues and just the "in person" effect. I mean, kinda why I hate phones LOL.

We'll get through this year. These decades, we will *hugs*

the therapy will be over, like, zoom, or some other camera type thing. Should be about the same, but I definitely feel like the social queues are different.
