Therapy
By sickofitall,
Sooooo, started therapy this week. No much to say for the first visit, just mostly intake questions. I was surprised to have a DX already: General Anxiety Disorder. After researching I would have to agree. I have very poor coping skills and tend to stuff my face to help the "out of control" feeling. I also feel like I'm coming out of my skin when the anxiety is real high. I cannot wait until I can take control of this or at least calm it down. It's taking a toll on my concentration at work and I noticed I'm beginning to lose control a lot when I drive. And I don't mean, scared to drive, I mean I am getting VERY aggressive. I think I'm just redirecting the anxiety of the day's work into my driving, then sitting in a ton of traffic every day is really taking it's toll on me and the little patience I have.
I am glad to have the weekend to reflect upon this diagnosis and maybe find a book or two that can help me until my therapy visits kick in. My new therapist is booked for the next couple of weeks and I REALLY need help now so I better reach out and find it myself. Luckily I am very resourceful.
