In the waiting room for my first meeting with the therapist.
I made it to today.
Achievement Unlocked.
@ATXJane
Thanks! 🤗
Intro to my therapist.
Paperwork and paperwork and then a couple of papers to sign. :)
And had a couple of good thoughts right off the bat regarding my tendency to isolationism and the human need for community.
Next goal is to update my resume and get it out to the agency to find a new job.
Wow! Brain was online, significant thoughts coming forward. Good topics to surface. It sounds like you showed up ready to work & get life moving in the right direction again. Excellent.
I hope you feel as good as this first appointment sounds. 🌸
@ATXJane
It was a start. And that's better than standing still right? :) and much much better than just spinning out of control.
I'm hopeful overall tentatively.
On top of that, all of the resources that I called have all been calling back to just make sure that I'm still here. That's really something that I didn't expect and is more helpful than I imagined.

"And spinning out of control can turn our lives into a metaphorical splatter paint composition."
Ahhh. To be Jackson Pollock.
@testamonk
That sounds really good on all counts. Standing still can be particularly trying when you find yourself in oncoming traffic, for example. And spinning out of control can turn our lives into a metaphorical splatter paint composition.
How nice it is people have been reaching out, checking on you. Expanding or tapping into one’s circle of support is very important. I’m glad you have one!
Tentatively hopeful overall sounds pretty darn good all things considered. Keep going. 🌸
