Therapy day one

I had my first ‘therapy’ session, I was meant to be starting one to one CBT with my local NHS mental health service. The day or two before your appointment you have to fill in some of the questionnaires to see how you’re doing and the therapist can see your progress etc. I started my medication at the end of April so have been doing really well recently but was looking forward to starting CBT to give me some techniques to help manage my low mood better, to help me cope with life better. I answered the questionnaire honestly but have scored too low to qualify for one to one therapy. 

I’ve been signed up to some online group sessions so I’m hoping this will still have the desired effect as I am feeling in a much better place now to how I was when I thought group therapy would be awful and even though it’s obviously a really positive thing that I’m doing ‘too well’ to have one to one therapy but also a little disheartened because of how well one to one therapy worked for my OCD. 

I’ve got some things to work through before my first group session in a couple of weeks and I’m going to commit myself to it to get as much out of it as I can because otherwise what’s the point?
