1st day in the treatment center

I went to my first session yesterday at the treatment facility. I'm in an intense outpatient program for depression and anxiety.

It went pretty well, just kind of feeling my way. It was a group setting just like an AA meeting. We did some meditating, coping skills worksheets, and shared experiences, etc. I had a physical with the medical doc. there. I met one-on-one with multiple counselors, asking questions about my history, medications, drug and alcohol usage, etc,etc.

They are probably going to adjust my meds some, I think I'll find that out today.

I did discover that even though my depression and anxiety are pretty bad, it could be so much worse. Kinda helps put things into perspective.

I look forward to going today. I want to get this under control and get on with my life.

Thanks all for your support.

God bless.
