    Default Therapy

    I am going to be starting therapy next Friday. For depression, anxiety, and most of all my emet. I am SSSOOOO excited. I want relief. I want to fight the anxiety not the vomit. I know it will be a long hard road but I can do this. I know for a fact once I take care of my emet, my depression and anxiety will lesson atleast to half of what it is maybe even more! I am looking forward to this.

    That is so awesome. Do you mind my asking if you are going to be doing CBT? How did you go about finding a therapist? I am having a hard time finding one I can afford (no mental health insurance) that is familiar with emetophobia. Anyway, that is a great step in the right direction. I am where you are, that I want to fight this anxiety-- I know once I deal with emet, my anxiety and depression will be sooooo much more manageable.

    I am on healthcare because I am pregnant. I am going to be doing CBT. I was told I needed that back in August when my baby was in the NICU for being born to early. I was a mess. So when things settled down which is recently haha my husband and mom kept telling me I needed to go. I just called around. Told them how serious I am about fixing my issues/issues and that I need some serious help. They took me seriously. I will keep you posted on what happens when I go. Its not today but next friday. But ya I am so done with living my life with this. We have one baby and another on the way. I am doing this for my husband and kids and myself. Cause when I thought about it, I could traumatize my children by abandoning them when they are throwing up... my husband is a firefighter and has 24 hour shifts, what am I going to do when he cant be there to help? I have to get this fixed and now.
