Counselling on Monday

After cancelling my first counselling appointment as I was ill with flu, my new appointment is nearly here. Monday afternoon. I am getting quite nervous now. I have actually had a pretty good feeling week this week so in some ways I feel like a bit of a fraud. It looks like the ADs have finally kicked in. GP increased my dose from 20mg to 40mg and when I first started the increased dose I went away for a mad, lots of alcohol drinking weekend and then came down with flu for 9 days. I never felt the benefits, if any, of them. Have had a more settled couple of weeks and I am feeling much better.
I have no idea what to expect at this counselling session.

I hope so. I'm feeling very tearful this evening.

Ahhh bless!
I felt like that too after my 1st session. Infact I had to go into a few shops after the 1st session to kind of ease myself back into real life IYKWIM, before going home!
It does get easier.
The first couple of sessions are the worst, as you are having to go over all your most emotional issues.
You will end up finding it really helpful, I promise!
I sometimes feel I could do with it now!

I went to the supermarket after mine. Had an hour before I picked up dds from school. I walked around the shop pushing the trolley - just staring at the shelves. Couldn't even think about what I'd gone in there for. Came out spending £35 though!
