I used to get nervous before every session with my T so that's not unusual. Therapy is difficult. It's tough to face issues that make us vulnerable to our emotions. But if you're self-medicating by drinking so you don't have to deal with your emotions, you'll never get better. Why don't you give therapy a chance? It's possible you may feel worse before you feel better as you're unearthing deep-seated pain, but wouldn't it be great to get that all behind you? And if therapy doesn't help alone, then you may want to consider meds.
I hope things work out for you.
Peace...Sonya
> I have an appointment with my T in about an hour and i am a nervous wreck about it. I think i will be telling him that i'm not going to go ahead with therapy and meds. but put it all back where it came from so that i can continue to function. I want to just drink it all away again cause i cant afford to have a breakdown. I cant seem to drag myself to work anymore which will put my in financial crisis soon. Am i just being selfish and weak or am i falling into deeper depression? O boy... I use to be indecisive but now I' not so sure.
