Nothing to be scared of. Think of them as a listening ear. I cry every week in therapy, real talk. I'm actually surprised when I get through one without crying.
That’s good to know. Thank you I appreciate it
It’s definitely scary to start something new, but it is definitely worth it. One thing you should know, though, is that the first therapist you talk to might not be the best fit for you, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t feel like you got what you want out of it from the first person you talked to.
Thank you I need to remember this
Sometimes I cry every day for months at a time, even with therapy and medication. I probably cried 360 days in 2020. Don’t look at it like it’s a bad thing. You’re not failing because you’re crying. You’re not alone in feeling this way. Therapy can be uncomfortable and awkward. It can feel like it’s not doing anything. But I promise in a few months you’ll suddenly realize that you haven’t cried in a few days, that things that used to send you into a spiral you can now recognize as a trigger, and you will feel better. It’s a never ending process to feel good, but it’s worth the effort. ❤️
Thank you this meant a lot
I can relate to you. The day of my first session I was nauseous and trembling walking into my appointment. I think I was afraid of being vulnerable in front of someone, being judged and opening my past and being consumed with all that emotional baggage. It’s scary to face what you’ve been running from, but it’s worth it. You have to want better for yourself and pull that strength out that’s deep within bcuz the reward is so much greater than what you are dealing with. You have support in all of us here‼️ You got this 💪🏾 ❤️
❤️ thank you

Give yourself grace we are still in the pandemic 🥰🙏🏽❤️

Omg going to therapy is like taking a really long scrubby shower after hiking for a week I always leave feeling like some took my thoughts and color coded and organized them all into neat little piles. I hope it helps you and I hope you start to feel better soon!
Thank you ❤️
Everyone needs a safe, non judgment zone where to be able to express what is really going on in our minds. During 2020, kids at home, working full time, and not being able to visit friends or family had a huge impact on my mental health, but I never stopped going counseling, and everything got better! Good luck! You deserve this
Thank you 😭 we’re all in it together
It is a strong move to get therapy. I am so glad I was able to overcome my fears and go for it. I hope it will help you find new ways to experience joy in life rather than being caught up in sadness. Sending you hugs! ❤️
Thank you ❤️🫂
If anyone has any recommendations for NYC therapists Please feel free to DM me. Thank you everyone for being so supportive. I’ve cried happy tears instead of sad. ❤️

Seeing a therapist is an incredibly great thing to do. You will feel like doing heel clicks after your first session, by just knowing that you’ve taken such an important step forward.
Absolutely! Tackling something you were previously afraid to confront is empowering. I’m going to do a heel kick now 😂😁
Sending you love 💗

I feel like I could have written this OP - I haven’t found a therapist. I need to look I feel exactly the same
