    First counselling session after 12years!

    Hi,

    I started counselling today after 12 years of being dismissed as not ill enough for any psychological help. I do have a good support network in my family but sometimes you just need a stranger to tell everything. It was only my first assessment type session but boy am I drained after it. Already she's made logical links about things that I couldn't see plus she was so good at letting me just be emotional whereas I bottle it all up usually. Is it normal to feel so emotional? I feel like I could cry at anything and my mood is a bit lower after it but I'm not sure whether that's just because I've spoke about things for the first time. I'm also hormonal and am adjusting to an increase in meds so I'm maybe just a bit sensitive just now.

    Congrats on taking a positive step! It's certainly natural to feel more emotional for all the reasons you stated. Stay the course and best wishes for healing.
