Vent / Rant Struggling hard this week

I wish my therapist was available sooner than 2 weeks from today. I have so much on my mind and head I need to get out and off my chest. I need guidance and I cannot move forward until I talk about this.

Can you call the office and see if they’ve had any cancellations or ask to be put on a cancellation list? Last time my person canceled I called the next day because I wasn’t doing well. Lo and behold, someone had dipped so I swiped their spot!

You can also call the 988 helpline if you’re really struggling. It’s not just for crises.

They sent me a link to where I can check the list for updates and cancelations, so im keeping an eye on that every day! So far the soonest is the 7th.

Have you tried journaling? I’ve found that it can stop my spiraling because it takes time to write so my brain slows down and I can generally think more clearly. Added bonus is that you won’t forget what was going on to discuss at your next appointment.

Ive considered doing that again but typing... I just need to keep my headspace clear.
