Apparently my work insurance will cover therapy.

So I'm going to when I can. What should I expect? I'm not sure what I would talk about but I think it's worth going.

I need to change my life in general including my diet which I'll probably make a thread for that eventually.

It can be extremely helpful, but it's important to find a therapist you get along with.

The experience can vary greatly, but if you're struggling with something mentally they can help you work through it.

I probably have a lot to talk about. Basically my entire view on life and disposition has changed in the last few months.

Finding the right one is important. I tried therapy once for about 6 months, and the one I was assigned was awful. Not to discourage you, but seriously, if you find the one you're seeing isn't actually helping, find another. It does no good to stick it out with one who isn't helping.

Yep and don't let a couple therapists you don't mesh with stop you from seeking therapy. Therapy is deeply personal and you really need to find the right therapist for you.

I can find one through my insurance website but they don't give a lot of details out. Some of them don't even have websites either when searching. I think I just need somebody to talk to for life advice and anxiety.

That's awesome your work covers it.

Just try whoever they give you. Don't worry about the 'therapist shop' situation unless you don't connect with the first person. Jen's given me great advice in this field, but I also have a tendency to spin my wheels trying to choose the 'perfect option'. Just dump a therapist if they're not your cup of tea.

You'll have to make the effort and take the time to make appointments and meet with them to feel them out. You may even see someone several times before you come to a conclusion they aren't the right for you.

I'm just a little worried about any extra fees. Gotta go to a regular doctor too. Plan on joining a gym and eating healthier. Basically trying to change my life entirely.

It's hard work. I've done it. You can do it if you're truly motivated and willing to put in the time and effort.

Yeah I'm going to try. I have more energy in general now too. My anxiety only seems to start getting to me when I get really tired such as at the end of a day or after work. Just trying to take what I want a day at a time.

Talking is probably my biggest issue but I'm better in that regard right now. Basically my depression is under control for the most part but my anxiety still kicks in a little. I'm just doing better in general and want to try doing more things in general. Feel like taking up hiking or something. Probably haven't gone on a hike since I was like 16.

Eventually I'll probably try opening up dating profiles which is something that I never thought I would ever even contemplate.

Honestly, you'll never know what kind of therapist you get until you are in session with them.

I've heard of ALL kinds.

Just hope you get one that you feel you can trust.

Yes, but you said you still want to go, right? So that means some part of you probably has things being held inside, and you could benefit from spilling it out and maybe getting another perspective on it.

I will always have anxiety at the back of my head. Plus what's been going on anyway is really new to me.

Yeah something that happened yesterday would have given me major anxiety just a month and a half ago or so. I thought nothing of it. I still need to go to therapy.

There's no fixed timeline, a couple of sessions can help for a couple of months or it could take months to even scratch the surface. A lot depends on your own willingness to participate but who you see and what their methods are can also effect your treatment.

For me, the local docs won't even do anything beyond emergency triage as they don't want to make things worse; I'm relatively stable but incredibly intelligent so the general consensus is not to unravel something they cannot put back together.

Im curious if anyone else here can give examples of why they dropped therapists. I completely agree on finding a therapist you mesh with but I can't explain how I got there.

I think feeling unguarded is universal for good therapy.
