I referred myself for CBT today

[Chocolate35]

I’m struggling, with life in general. Big things like health issues and small things like being a terrible mum because my children have eaten the same (healthy) meal three Fridays on the trot. I cry all the time and literally the only pleasure I get is from my children and the amazing husband I have. On paper my life is ok, I shouldn’t be struggling so much. I overthink every little thing and I’m scared of everything, I would happily hibernate if I didn’t have bills to pay and children to pretend everything is ok in front of. My doctor told me to refer myself for CBT a while ago and today I did. I’m actually quite scared now. I’m not sure what of. I thought I could handle things and I now feel like I’ve failed because I can’t. Any advice appreciated.

My sister is a psychotherapist and uses CBT all the time with great success. CBT is really good at helping change your beliefs and challenge your thinking pattern.
You should pat yourself on the back for taking this step and don't be afraid. You haven done the opposite of failing in doing this. A good therapist will take things at your pace and make sure you're feeling OK even when you're outside of your comfort zone.
