Change One Thing at a Time

“Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.”―Ovid and "Be the change you want to see in the world."-Mahatma Gandhi


So today I had my third therapy session, We are finally done with all of my analysis paperwork and have developed a treatment plan. Inside my treatment plan we had to pick my diagnosis. We looked at what best fit the majority or entirety of my mental health issues and what it looked like compared to my specific situation. We came up with ptsd, dysthymic depression, anxiety, and specific features of melancholic depression. It was a bit comforting that she said that I am not manic or impulsive, when you are so very new to this kind of situation you really aren't sure what label or category you would fit into. She said a lot of my problems are genetically input and the trauma has had a more sever impact to the already existing depression and anxiety. We set goals to reduce my hair pulling, co dependent behaviors, learning new coping skills, decrease my overall anxiety, learn better communication skills and work through all of my previous trauma and cope with my triggers.


Next week we will actually be working on the things stated in my plan. It will all be a very good process and adventure. With all of the drama I am extremely beyond exhaustion! My process of taking care of myself has flown out the window. I want it back. I am doing the best of my abilities. But I NEED REST! That is officially what I need, REST.
