I finally have had enough with the emotional and physical abuse with everyone in my life. It is not like I have a best friend to tell all my problems to and receive advice from so I have decided to take a step forward and see a therapist.
I am partially excited about this decision because I can finally allow myself to open up without worrying about my secrets getting out but I am also afraid to tell about my feelings and emotions because what if he/she thinks I am a freak? A nothing.
This is my first step towards freedom from the dreadful memories that bind me. I am afraid of going for my first time but will keep and update on how things are going.
I cannot recommend anyone having problems to see a therapist just yet but we will see in time what happens.
I refuse to let Death take over my life and control me. It is my turn.

Don’t be afraid to tell your therapist ANYTHING. They work like mad to become therapists, and if they ever break confidentiality, they lose their license, and their whole career goes bye-bye. The incentives are all there for them to keep their mouths shut. As for seeming like a freak to this person, I assure you, unless they’re brand new to this, they’ve heard much weirder things than anything you could come up with.
Thumbs up for you! sometimes all we need is a little help and a different point of view in seeing things 🙂 You have my blessing
Finding a good therapist takes time.
If you don’t find a connection to the first one, try to find another, you deserve to feel safe and connected to a helpful, non judgmental therapist.
Om Shanti
Congratulations on a courageous step
Sounds to me like you are in the right direction. Less thinking, more doing!
Talking to a therapist is a brilliant move, good for you for taking an important step towards a better life. Don’t be worried about telling them how you feel, they’re professionals and they’ve heard all sorts of things. They won’t judge or think you’re weird, they’re there so that you have a safe space to talk about whatever troubles you.
Good luck!
