This Is an Old Post from about 2 years ago that I forgot to publish, I will follow up on my experiences with professional help.
Well I've decided it was time I consult a professional to seek help. I've been going back and forth with the idea for some time now but finally realized it was time. After much research I finally settled on 2-3 different psychologists. I also obtain a list of recommended psychologists through my medical insurance. Did a little homework on psychologists I liked and settled on one.
I was actually a bit nervous going in but knew it was something I needed to do. The initial consultation is just a meet and greet to see if I will be a match, am comfortable, and they are able to help me. I'm glad to repot that I am very comfortable with her and she strongly believes that she can help without medication. I am strongly against taking medication unless absolutely necessary (ie. cannot function on a normal day and begins affecting your job). My psychologist agreed and asked me to come in for my first session If I'd like to and I happily agreed. My second appointment isn't until early in the new year but I'm already anxious thinking about it!
My anxiety has been running rampant these last few weeks and quite frankly it's just scaring the crap out of me. It's mostly just an over active mind running with all these thoughts of life, my future, what if statements, ect.....I understand that these thoughts aren't real but boy do they feel real and with such intensity! I've learned to keep myself busy after work and most days that helps a ton but there are just times where I feel a little knocked off balance. I'm looking forward to my sessions and will share what I learn.
