When my mother passed years ago I made the decision to seek help from a Licensed Medical Therapist through my health care provider. When I had a health issue I felt more comfortable seeking out this same person to help me "get my ducks in line" so to speak and work towards solutions. I decided if I could not come up with solutions for my mental care when I was recently diagnosed with TAA I would go again. You have so much going on and having someone to talk with and help with solutions can hopefully be a part of your future whole health care. I hope all will be well with you.

I was not aware that there was even such an option as this, but I like the idea of being able to have access to the same person in this capacity. I, like the rest of you, have a lot going on, but much of the stresses I have beyond divorce and the stress it brings about I feel could be mitigated if there were someone to talk to who didn't think I was the spawn of Satan, filled with sinister suspicions that my actions had only the most deplorable motives at best. I desperately needed then and now to talk to someone about my mental health as I think about this. You mentioned going through your provider - do I ask my PCP? I worry about that because I know the reaction that will bring, but is it what I need to do? I do feel like this will be an immense help for me if I can get it lined up. Thanks for sharing this
