Confused

[hairdog]

I feel so confused. Feel so sad and alone.

hey @hairdog it's okay to feel those things. we're for you, you're not alone 💙

have you spoken to a professional about these feelings before? are there any activities or self-care things that you enjoy or helps you feel calm?

[hairdog]

I have an appointment to see someone in another week

[rav3n]

that's great! @hairdog have you spoken to a professional before or is this going to be your first time?

[hairdog]

First time. I am nervous confused. Basically lost at the moment

that's totally fair and also proud of ya for giving it a go!! i was super nervous when i had my first appointment booked in too @hairdog i kept thinking about cancelling it, i had no idea what to expect, i had no idea where to even start, if it was worth it, etc.

but i showed up, and i'm really glad i did. it was a lil awkward at first but the professional did explain what usually happens and helped guide convos so i didn't have to worry about blanking out. i do want to mention that if you don't click with the professional straight away - that's totally ok! you can always request someone new or maybe you might need to give it some time. you got this!!

is there anything in particular that you're nervous about? perhaps we can chat about it so it can help you feel more at ease? (also i do have to head off soon but there are other mods you can reach out to throughout the week - i'll cont you this convo with you on Friday!!)
