hi, my screen name is Display.

i just need to check in today. so sick of morning anxiety, perhaps it will help to check in here.

i have a few things to do today. will be seeing my therapist this afternoon. it is only our 3rd appointment. but i want to just say i'm not sure if things are going to work out. so far i have not been getting much out of the sessions. i know it takes a while to get established, so i am going to give it a while.

but the reason i am seeing him is my OCD about driving my car. today i will try and focus on that in the session.

thanks for listening,

Hi Display,

It is great how you check in when you are feeling down and in need of some support...that reaching out is a healthy sign that you are working on helping yourself out of the anxiety pit, and not isolating!

I hope that you will give your therapy some more time. My personal experience was that it took a few weeks for me even to start to feel a benefit. Even then, it was slow going at first, but then it had a snowball effect...and I even continued to have gains after my session had ended!

I don't know if you noticed, but we have a driving anxiety thread going at the moment...check it oiut if you haven't already...you are not alone in this!

Have a great appointment today. Post back and let us know how it went if you feel like it.:)

Talk to you soon,

S.C.
