[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello. I have my first ever appointment with a psychiatrist tomorrow. I've never done therapy and don't know what to expect. I'm very nervous about explaining why I wanted an appointment. I'm afraid I'm going to go blank, or just start crying. [b]I've been depressed and anxious for a while, but it's gotten significantly worse during the pandemic. There are so many layers to why, I don't know where to start. [/b]What is that first appointment like? [/quote]

You can say just that. I talked to an intake coordinator today, hoping to start therapy for anxiety. She asked if anxiety was affecting my life. All I could come up with was "I'm stuck". I have had therapy a couple different times in the past and I have come to believe that the answer you give to the question of why you are there can set the tone for your treatment. I am planning to write out my reasons and then try to condense them so it will be easier to remember when I'm on the spot. It will be virtual, so I'll probably make a note of it. Try writing it down. Good luck tomorrow![/quote]
