I felt like I was seen as a person, not a number. They looked up from the keyboard (which is a sad benchmark)and seemed genuinely empathetic. I was worried that I would be dismissed as my symptoms are not leading to an easy, standard diagnosis. I left the practice feeling heard, and that action will be taken.

I did not want antidepressants. I know I was in trauma and grief after my sister's suicide, my instincts was that drugs were not the answer I did not want to supress or deny my feelings but I needed help navigating them as I was in overwhelm and despair. The talking therapy I had was second to none and pulled me out of a black hole where I contemplated suicide myself many times to a place of inner peace and acceptance
