So at last I’m seeing a therapist. She’s a Muslim convert like me and she works at hospital I was in so she knew my old pdoc who diagnosed me with sz. It was a funny time to go see her - 8pm but she works only part time at her offices then at hospital rest of the time.
It was a wonderful connection for us. She and I discussed my entire psychiatric history and issues I’m dealing with now, like lack of motivation, fears and anxiety, deadness and self hate. Next time I see her we start therapy.
It’s so soothing to be in company of a mental health professional who understands what I’m going thru and who is so encouraging. I’m so glad I am finally going for therapy. As she said, I have a chronic mental illness that won’t go away but I can find help to deal with it. I’m so glad!
I think it’s great you found someone you can connect with. I’m really happy for you. I would like to have that in my life right now also. I should start looking for someone.
