My wonderful CC family, praise the lord thank you all so VERY much for the prayers!
I decided last week on Monday to be evaluated, and Thursday was my first appointment with a counselor, and turns out, I do have a bit of everything I was afraid of.
a) Severely depressed
b) moderate anxiety
c) some trauma (from my childhood)
this explains so much! But it’s also very heartbreaking that I let it go thus far and not seek help. My counselor also wants me to start seeing a therapist on top of my 10 sessions with her. Which I agreed too, cause I need to see someone at least every week for all the crap I’ve been through and continue to go through today.
Plus, the flu has hit Oklahoma really hard this season and just about everyone I know or go to church with is sick with the flu. So I’ve been watching service online, it’s not like going in person but it’s better than not hearing the word.
So, with all that said, thank you all so much for your prayers, I’m feeling a little better now knowing what’s been going on with my hormones and emotions. You guys are so amazing and wonderful. ❤️❤️❤️

Laura, may I recommend seeing your pastor. One, they don't cost anything (which is important since you have a baby at home) and two they will guide you according to what the bible teaches rather than standard psychology teaches you. I see a pastor quite regularly for my anxiety and family traumas and I feel encouraged and quite motivated because he always prays before, after and until we see each other again. He also gives me passages to read until then.
Btw, I am so happy you decided to get a form of counseling and I will pray that this counselor does not believe in just prescribing medication because that can be a catch 22 in and of itself. Much love, my friend ❤
