Waiting... October 25th, 2022.

 I feel like one of the hardest things to do is waiting,... when you need extra support in the current moment. Thankfully I finally have an appointment scheduled with my grief counselor, after not meeting with her for the last three months due to summer break and insurance issues. So much has happened... Feel like I would need two hours just to update my counselor on the last months. Plan to have sessions weekly again, and hoping the psychiatrist office I was referred to, reaches out to me with good news that my insurance is covered and that I can get in for an appointment sooner than later. Mental health is so important. I have been having many triggering moments recently, challenge with memory for decades, feelings of anxiety for years, and haven't been feeling like myself for some time. No matter how strong I may seem, I am now saying that I need extra help, and support from those who care about me. This is me opening up, with hopes that my expressing how I am doing and feeling, won't come back round to me in a negative light. It did, a long time ago when I was younger... I feel like it takes a lot of strength for a person to open up about the dark times, and when life feels like less weight on my shoulders, I hope that you'll support me then too. It takes a village. Thank you for being there.
