It's been a very very rough time for me these past months and even though today I felt really bad I still made the first step to go do something I really needed to do for my physical health and I'm pretty glad I did. The person there was really kind and respectful and I scheduled a future appointment. I always dread the first time doing anything but I know I just need to do it no matter how or what I feel. A thing that helps me in such situations is imagining that I'm doing it for somebody else and that really does it for me. I know this post is just a big nothing burger but I still wanted to share this, sorry :)

Yeh it's nice to see someone make progress and you also shared a technique to avoid procrastinating that I've never heard before, so thanks for sharing! And well done!

Great to see you taking steps to care for yourself.

I did similar, spent a long time in pain because
a) I didn't think I was worth treating,
b) I had a plan to CTB so what was the point.

A month ago I took the plunge and got some help, saw a specialist who has treated the issue and hey, last night I slept all night without waking in pain.

So, good on you! I hope you get better x
