;

so i started therapy about 8 months ago?? never really thought i would end up doing it but i finally took the plunge and it’s been incredibly enriching. my best friend asked her therapist for recommendations for me, and the one i ended up calling is perfect. like, i feel so lucky that i found her

i always assumed i had depression and anxiety but in our second session she was like “i want to give you a ptsd questionnaire” and we went through it and she added everything up and was like “ok so to have a diagnosis of ptsd you have to score at least a 35....you got a 55” and i was in such denial lol. but the longer i work on things, the more i realize that yeah i have fuckin ptsd lol

first thing she worked with me on after that was adjusting my meds and working with me and my doctor to find out how to get me to sleep through the night bc as it turns out i also have insomnia lol. after trial and hella error we finally found one that seems to be working for the time being, so i can at least sleep some while doing trauma work (and y’know it helped so much when i was still working before i got temporarily laid off bc ofcovid lmao)
