Hi, I just wanted to say that if you’re nervous, it’s ok. I literally nervous-cried/sobbed the ENTIRE first appointment. Like poor woman was just trying to get my name, some medical history, suuuuuper basic stuff. Haha bless her, still seeing her now. (Still cry a lot but not like that 😂 )

It felt really great to be in my own house for that, and to be able to just like chill in my pajamas and crawl into bed and immediately pet a cat or have a snack or some water when I get worked up. I know some folks might prefer in-person or group sessions, but for me I love being in the comfort of my own home. I don’t have to drive anywhere, I can wear comforting clothing, I can ugly cry a bit freer and don’t have to thank a receptionist on the way out.

Go for it, friend!!! I love my therapist, just chatting life stuff out and exploring together has been wildly beneficial. Greatly helped my relationships. Anyway. I wish you the best random redditor!!!

THIS should be higher up!!! This hit my heart. This is relatable on all levels, big or small, we all know someone that beats themselves up a little or a lot. (Hint: It might be you!) Funny how much easier it is to forgive others (for smaller grievances) but you hesitate on or deny yourself? Because reasons? Thank you for this eye-opener. Or rather, heart-opener.

Thank you for this AMA. What you have experienced is unfathomable. It’s like trying to imagine the vastness of a billion. What you are sharing with the world now is important, valuable, valid and real. Thank you.

Musical artist Trevor Hall has a song called Forgive. He has a lot of other great songs with powerful lyrics. They help me a lot, I don’t know if they would help you or anyone reading, but I do recommend.

I pray for peace, comfort and more moments of purity in your life. Thank you for everything.
