So today i had a session with the therapist, it went so well!!
Three weeks ago when i first went i did a score chart thingymajiggy, i scored 68% which is very high and means im mentally not well.
in the past three weeks i have read a book called 'feel the fear and do it anyway' by susan jeffers, its helped me immensly. completely changed my way of thinking.
I was originally referred due to the fact i lost 2 friends within 9 months of eachother, my gp thought this was the biggest cause of my anxiety, the counsellor dug a bit deeper and i realised its the lack of relationship ive had with my mother, you see thats a loss also. works in strange ways doesnt it??
ive changed the way i see this relationship, im an over fuctioner so im steeping back to see if she makes an effort with me.
so back to it, today i did the chart again, i scored 17!!! 0-20 is considered mentally well. i do have another session in 4 weeks to see how i am, but she was amazed with the progress, something just clicked in me!!
im still going to continue with my citalopram for a while, perhaps do another few months on this.
everyone should read the book i mentioned and seek counselling, ive coped with the loss of my two friends better than i could have imagined, i thought my world would end when i was told they didnt have long left -- but my life is just beginning again and im trilled, ill always love and miss them and wish i could have fixed them both, but their deaths combined with others things made me ill and stressed and ultimately these things are helping to healme.
