journal: my first therapy session!

i'm so happy my first therapy session went well. i've heard from people across the internet that it can be tough finding the right therapist but i'm glad i like mine so far.

i introduced myself, shared my backstory and told her i was having relationships issues and struggles with emotional regulation. i also mentioned about how i felt depressed and unmotivated to do anything productive.

this is what she responded: she said the first thing i had to do was to improve my daily routine. it doesn't have to be something big like getting work done but something as simple as exercising or doing a hobby.

i didn't think taking the first step would be so tough. i procrastinated for a while but i think i'm finally ready to take the first step.

so excited for my next session tomorrow, hope it goes well!
