Can someone share what it's like to go to therapy? I've never been but I'm thinking of going to grief counseling and would like to know what it's life.

Incredibly rewarding. It’s a very positive experience to just share what your going through with an educated, professional stranger who will help you process things the right way and get through whatever it is you’re going through. It’s also good that they’re unbiased and hopefully trained to project much less than everyone else you know. Try it!

Thank you. I'll check it out!

I haven't had great experiences ... I find that counselors are quick to label me depressed anytime I describe pms symptoms. Not the answer I'm looking for... not looking for pills or a quick fix. If I went to counseling again, it would a holistic doctor that focuses on the whole picture and natural methods to increase my health (physical and mental).

I went and to be honest, it was good. You can unload all your gripes, grievances and issues without judgement. It also helps you get through any issues you feel you need help with. It’s someone that can speak with you about your issues and help you arrive at your own answers.

I've never been either but I discovered self authoring that Jordan Peterson promoted. I did it on that website and it changed me deeply and now I do a lot of free writing.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
