It’s been an extremely long time since I have written on here. Looks like about 3 years to be exact. I’m actually surprised that 1) this was still here and I hadn’t deleted it and, 2) that I remembered my login info.
Although, I have made strides in healing. I have not made enough. I have been playing the game of insanity by continuing to try and do this on my own. You keep hoping that one magical day you will wake up and be healed. But that day never comes. Or at least hasn’t for me.
I hit a tipping point a few months ago. A big one (I’ll go into that more in a later post) that almost ruined my family. And thus, a renewed sense of needing to heal was kicked up. No more floating about in my far too small comfort zone. The search for a new therapist (since I hadn’t seen one in years) was on.
My husband, brilliant as he is, contacted our insurance company. And wouldn’t you know…our insurance covers mental health services 100%?! Why oh why hadn’t we looked into this before?? When I did therapy the first time, we were paying out of pocket. *Insert face palm* It was one of the reasons I hadn’t pursued therapy much and was relying on the wake up and feel better scenario. Therapy is expensive.
After contacting ALL of the local therapists covered by our insurance, not one was willing to do either phone/video/in-home therapy. Talk about a heart-breaker. More research into our insurance showed we had an online option through MDLive. I was hesitant. Randomly picking someone off the internet based on their picture and short bio? But wasn’t I, in essence, doing that anyhow?
So, I took the leap. I read the bios and what they each specialized in. And I chose one. I made the appointment. I had my first therapy appointment in 4 years. And it went better than I could have imagined. I’ll also update on how it went in the next post. SO much to update everyone on. That is, if anyone is still here. 😉
Keep Fighting!
