Also, any tips for therapy in general would be great. I feel like my mind just goes blank when someone asks me to tell them what I’m experiencing and how it’s negatively affecting me, which might make therapy hard. I basically feel like I could state things very bluntly but it would come on VERY strong, and I also get imposter syndrome about the things I’m experiencing where I don’t feel like I have the details to back it up.
Don’t be afraid to write things up as you think of them before your appointment. Even if it’s just jotting notes down, it helps a lot to get it on paper (I find I remember things I write down better too). I’ve always erred on the side of bluntness when it comes to my psychiatrist and in therapy and I think that’s fine; you don’t need to make it pretty for them. They need to know what you’re feeling in whatever ways you can express it so that they can help you. You don’t need to prove that you have things the worst, the fact that you’re exploring this option means that it is having a substantial negative impact on your life. That’s more enough reason to reach out, because you deserve to live a life that is richer and more fulfilling than just getting by.
I had a conversation with one therapist a little bit ago but it wasn’t a great match (she was working under an ADHD specialist but didn’t seem to have any experience working with it herself, kept referring to my suspected depression as “the sadness” even after I explained that wasn’t what I was experiencing, etc.). Trying to figure out if there’s a better way to raise it / if anyone has had a great provider who just got it without you having to explain it extensively — I also have a really hard time articulating negative experiences so that probably didn’t help.
I’ve definitely written notes and gone down a checklist in the session before. It can be a great tool.
