I am in treatment for severe anxiety and do take medications. My doctor recommended that I go through therapy to help in my recovery. She referred a therapist to me. The one thing I didn't want to do is take time to drive to therapy once a week. Well, then the answer came. I came across an ad for BetterHelp on Facebook, and I thought that maybe it was the perfect answer. Online therapy at the tip of your fingers, at home. So I went to the site and joined.

I've got to say, I love it! This is better than once a week therapy because I speak to my licensed therapist Monday through Friday just by sending messages back and forth. Should something come up, I can contact her immediately.

This is the second week I have been talking to my therapist and already I am making progress. She gives me really helpful advice and sends me worksheets with various exercises. I have come to realize how what I'm thinking leads to anxiety and we are working to recognize those thoughts and turn them around to the positive. I am learning how to relax.

One big step I have taken, and this is only in two weeks is that before I started therapy, I would only do one errand a day, no matter what. It would make me extremely anxious to stop at another location after doing one errand. I just wanted to do that and go home. Well, yesterday and the day before yesterday, I went on two errands at a time. People may think so what? But from someone dealing with severe anxiety, this is a VERY BIG DEAL!

I am so glad I came across BetterHelp, and I recommend that anyone needing therapy for anything use their services. They have licensed therapists that you can talk to from the comfort of your own home. Oh, and the price, it is so affordable. And, if you are like me, you will make wonderful progress, maybe even in a short time.
