laurenrae_vsgI met with my new therapist, Karen, this past Friday. I adore her. Absolutely adore her. She is so welcoming and warm. She made me feel so safe and comfortable. I am really glad I took this step. We spent a little time talking about my childhood and how I grew up and about my parents and their relationship, or lack thereof.
She quickly diagnosed me with anxiety and a bit of depression which I already knew. We also spent a lot of time talking about my surgery and the changes I am experiencing with this. Can I just say, body dysmorphia is a bitch. I am well aware by the scale that I have lost weight but when I look in the mirror I still see the 360lb girl that I hate. My clothes fit so much better. I feel amazing. Yet, I still see the blob. I know this is completely normal and it takes a long time but it's frustrating. But I will get there. I meet with Karen every other week and am so looking forward to feeling better. =)
One day at a time!
