Re: Finally scheduled an appointment after nearly a decade!
For lack of a better response you just do. I went for the first time well over a year ago, I had the same apprehensions, especially about being judged or if I would see someone I knew, etc. I basically sat in the waiting room reading off my phone. After the initial visit I didn't care anymore about any of that as I was helping myself feel better and that's the only thing that really mattered. You'll be just fine. Best wishes and congrats on taking the steps needed to help yourself, that's a great thing.
