I went to therapy for the first time today

I've always been afraid of doctors. I had to get my wisdom teeth removed because they were impacted but I've always been terrified to go to a therapist. Recently I've been going through my first "bitter" breakup since me and my ex broke up in a very unpleasant fashion. I was feeling extremely lonely today, and I suddenly thought about all the things I couldn't say to a therapist because I just didn't want to see one. I got tired of making excuses for myself. I went on my insurance provider's website, looked up therapists in my area, and made an appointment for today.<br><br>I felt really good afterwards. I was feeling so anxious and nervous before but I'm kicking myself for not going sooner. I really regret being so afraid for so long but I realize I have to let it go.<br><br>I'm very happy to have taken this first step.
