I am just about to head out to my second meeting with a local psychological therapist. After my first meeting with him two weeks, I really looking forward to it.
Why am I seeing a therapist?
Anxiety, to get right to the point. I’ve been a worrier and a stresspuppy for all of my life, but in the past few years I’ve noticed it really getting worse. Actually, it was at RadCon that I first started thinking that some sort of external intervention might be nice. But, of course, I didn’t do anything about it until last Spring when I went and saw my regular doctor about anxiety and memory loss. He didn’t think I needed pills, but offered to give me a therapy referral.
But I didn’t really want to talk to a therapist, so I dropped it. But now that Chris and I are having problems, and that a lot of our problems center around me seeming cold, distant and uncaring, I thought I’d give it a go. Oh, and she dared me to do it.
I was really nervous that first visit. Hands shaking uncontrollably nervous. But it went really well and I really like Bob.
So here I am, off to visit #2.
