Just wanted to share with you all.  I had my appointment with mental health today and met my T.  I really connected with her quickly and really like her.  Although, I was talking all over the place (there is so much going on inside my head these days), she was attentive and understanding.  We set a few goals to achieve...one being, get me to begin to be able to say 'no'....as I'm a massive people-pleaser and probably couldn't say no, even if I knew it was gonna cost me my life.   :wacko:

Another thing we plan to work on is facing the negative voices in my head that continually make me doubt/fear.  I feel like it was a huge step for me today and just wanted to share with my Out of the FOG friends  :cheer:

Yay! Congrats. Sounds super positive!   :applause:
sometimes in the open you look up
to see a whorl of clouds, dragging and furling
your whole invented history. You look up
from where you're standing, say
among the stolid mountains,
and in that moment your life
becomes the margin
of what matters
-- Terry Ehret

I remember our first T meetings: all over the place, scattered, feeling baffled.

We quickly got our bearings, with an educated listener.

I am sure your therapist understands and we all have those kind of thoughts and feelings all over the place... It's hard to be steady in thoughts when you realize that you are a child that has been subjected to these difficult times.... So happy for you... Keep moving forward!  :applause:
