I have made the first step in getting help

[Chawk384]

Today I finally broke down and made an appointment with a psychiatrist- even though it will be expensive for the first visit, my husband and I decided it would be worth it. My appointment is April 16th and I seriously cannot wait. It has actually brought me a little relief to do this. Wish me luck!

Good for you for taking the first step :yesyes: One step at a time is all it takes to reach your destination. And remember, taking a step backwards now and again can always be made up by stepping forward again!

I hope he gives you a free Easter egg too...isn't the 16th Easter Sunday? Well done for facing up to your fears and finding a way to free yourself from them.

My first counseling appointment is coming soon as well. I've done as much as I can on my own. I also scheduled some acupuncture. Why not, right?
