"And so, can we start off with a small backstory?" my therapist, Juanita, asked as she held a notepad
"I recently just got out of a three year relationship and I don't know how to adjust. I've never experienced depression til now"
I know I made it clear that having a therapist wasn't necessary, but maybe it is. Maybe it'll help me adjust quicker.
Being out of the house a lot has helped, but I want to be okay without having to leave the house.
"How long ago is recently?" She asked while writing something on the notepad
"Four weeks probably a month"
It was silent as she continued to write
"Alright, so you said the relationship lasted for three years. I completely understand where your pain is coming from, but what specifically is bothering you?"
"Having to alter my everyday lifestyle and — I don't know. How do you go from talking to somebody everyday to not talking at all?"

"I'm not necessarily dwelling, I just — wish stuff was different. I wish it would've worked"
"Continuously wishing will is going to damage you. You need to move on, it's early, so you have time to better yourself, okay?"
"Okay"
"I want to dig deeper into your depression a little. Tell me what that's like"
"I just feel numb to everything that's going on, my appetite is completely gone at times, and I don't really feel the need to do anything"
"Okay, so I want you to understand that this process is going to take time. There is no timeframe because everyone one is different. Are your mood swings consistent?"
"No, they're different every other day. Some days I wake up sad, some days I'm happy"
"I'm gonna refer you to Dr. Sheri, she is located in the building next door. Under my recommendations for you will be for her to test you for any disorders and put you on antidepressants if needed"
I'm not crazy, so I don't think any of that is necessary. Maybe she sees something I don't, I don't know.
