First Appt With A Therapist Today
Mar 24, 2010
Today is my first appointment with a Psych therapist. I am a bit nervous but finally ready to get the help that I have neglected to get in the past. I talked to my Psych Evaluation Doc for my bariatric center yesterday and I asked when she thought I would get the clearance to move forward with my surgery process and she said that it depends on the one I meet with today. She was faxing over the results of my initial consultation.I am a bit worried. Knowing me probably not justly so but what if this pushes me past my 6 month requirements on all my pre-op clearances and all that good stuff I've had to go through to get to the point I am at? I guess in all reality I'll just start it over again. I am sure there has been other people out there that has had to start again from the beginning. I guess after all my preaching to others about being patient that I am not able to heed my own advice today...LOL.
I have come a long way since I had my initial evaluation. I read the book Boundaries and Life's Healing Choices. I have reconciled and let go of so much of my issues in "Life B4 Diane". I am not the same person I was when I started but I know no matter how great self help books are, they don't replace the expertise of a professional.
I know I am being a whiny baby, but I just want to get this surgery done. I see so many people that have lived their lives just as I have lived mine and now they are truly enjoying being healthy and they are finding out what "living life" means instead of sitting back watching "life live." I want to get on that Loser's Bench. I know that I will get there. I just have to accept that it just might not be in the time I think it should be in.
I hope this post finds everyone happy & blessed and living in "today".
