Proud of today
Today I took the first step to once again getting therapy. Tried it a long time ago and it was a disaster. But lately I've been thinking more and more that I should give it another go, so I'm on step one today. By the end of the week, I hope to be on step two (actually having been given an appointment with a therapist).
@thewanderer27 you should be proud! You recognized that you needed help and you went and got it!
@thewanderer27 Congrats, this is the hardest and biggest step of the process. I know you can do this! I know you want to recover, and this is that first big step! We are here for you *hugs*
Good luck! 
I wish you all the best!
Thanks everyone. I've also got a lot better at letting people know I have issues without going into detail about that (so not feeling the need to spill my life story in order to explain why I am the way I am).
I've also bought a mindfulness coloring book to help with tough days, going to see if coloring therapy works. I've always enjoyed art, so I figured it can't hurt to try!
Coloring therapy definitely helps. Second stage of therapy process complete - now have to wait two weeks for the third step!!
