Made contact with a mental health professional this week. Big step for me as I didn't know I needed one, never thought I'd need one. I can cope with pretty much anything can't I? No, I can't, I mean I can live, work, have fun, laugh and joke, care about others, enjoy them caring about me, I have a life but "it" doesn't go away. I know some of what "it" is but I think it's like a fungus with threads burrowing into places of which I'm not fully aware. It's also like those stains on walls made by past damp, you paint over it and it's fine for a time but...
Contact so far was just a very brief run down of the issues and they'll be having a case meeting where they'll discuss who would be the best one to take on my case. They have a some in their team that have had a number of exJW patients. I should be seen for an initial consultation in 2-3 weeks but there is a waiting list for the therapy proper that could be some months away. However, the journey of a thousand steps starts with the first step.
I'll keep you posted in case there are any that have not taken this step but might need to do so.
