Just started therapy and feeling hopeful

Been putting it off for like 2 years because I thought I could just tough it out. Finally pulled the trigger and had my first session yesterday. My therapist seems really cool and actually gets what I'm going through instead of just telling me to think positive or whatever. Already feeling a bit lighter knowing I have someone to talk to who won't judge me. Wish I'd done this sooner honestly.

I've been going for about a year and a half now and it's probably one of the best investments I've made. Way harder to tough out parenting stress than I thought it would be. Glad you're feeling hopeful about it.

That's huge. Genuinely proud of you for pulling the trigger on this. The 'tough it out' mindset got me through my twenties but it doesn't work when you're running on parent energy. Therapy has been a game changer for me too.

Two years of holding off and then finally getting in there. I respect the work. Your family is probably going to notice the difference too, even if you don't realize it at first.
