[MAC0]

So i had my Assessment today was over the phone as there jot seeing people in person because of covid had to fill out a form basically answering questions on a scale of 1 to 3 3 being worse 1 being ok after that we talked for 30 mins about my issues and my childhood that was not the best with my frunk father so they offered me 2 types of therapy both sounded great first was normal what you think talking which had a 10 week waiting list and the other was i firget thevname but it teaches behaviour changes do you dont put yourself into positions to let your depression or nerves effect you but that had a 6 month waiting time

while it felt good to talk with someone only ahared my issues with here and by email with Samaritans this was the first time to a person i am now 6 hours later and my week of hood moods is gone and now my mind is chruning over everything

I'm glad you had your assessment.

the other was i firget thevname but it teaches behaviour changes

It sounds like cognitive behavioral therapy, or something similar. There are some books about it if you don't want to wait to get started.

they told me reaching out on here and to them and smartens was a huge step to be proud

I agree. Well done!

Good to hear @MAC0.
I’m glad you took the step. I guess there’ll be some churning of mind, maybe discomfort. It’s towards some learning and changes for the better, so, hope you’re not upset.

🙂

Yea that is it cognitive behavioural therapy both sounded good to me but they said the waiting list for CBT was months rather than weeks so figured when they said i could do the more normal way and CBT later i should take that
