Re: Things that you rate!
Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2017 2:47 pmApologies in advance for getting a bit soppy on you all, but bugger it. I rate this.
After what has been an emotional roller coaster but life changing 14 weeks, I rate my Psychologist today telling me that I no longer need to continue with my mental health plan (unless of course required).
Without blowing my own trumpet, I am incredibly proud of my personal growth since parting ways with my ex.
What I do want to say is this. I cannot thank my psych enough for what he has done for me, and I told him this today.
He has bought clarity to my thoughts and emotions in ways I never thought possible, and whilst I still have average days, I am much more accepting and welcoming of anxiety and feelings of sadness than I ever have been before, thanks to his theories and teachings. I now embrace these reactions as a positive experience, and recognising when and why I am getting them, and being able to distinguish fact from thought has released the emotional handcuffs that have crippled me in relationships of every kind for so long. Never underestimate the feeling of self worth and purpose.
In the wake of R U OK day yesterday, please gents- if you feel anxious, sad, depressed. Please talk. Engaging in this mental health plan has been the best thing I have ever done. My present, whilst containing its negatives, is still bloody good comparatively, and thanks to these sessions, my future has a plan and I have some goals that I want to begin to work towards once things like assets and the like get sold/sorted.
Thanks to everyone on here who got in touch with me after my initial post 14 weeks back and to those who have kept checking on me since then. Please no one ever underestimate what a simple “how are you going?” can do to someone.
Onwards and upwards x
