I’ve procrastinated on therapy for a long time. Thanks to this subreddit I have finally sought mental health help and I have my first appointment next week. I am so excited to dig in and do the work to resolve my issues so that I can enjoy my own company as much as possible. I can’t love someone else until I love myself, and while I’ve pampered myself a lot during quarantine which has helped, I want to get my mental health back into a good space too. It’s not all superficial.

Thank you all for inspiring me. If you are on the fence about therapy, just do it. I haven’t started yet but I feel so much better knowing it’s coming soon. I think you will too. You deserve to heal and have a safe space professional in your corner.
