Finally Booked a Doctor
Just got back from the hospital. After pretty much forever, I’ve finally got a referral for what is probably the only Clinical Psychologist/Psychiatrist in the whole of Abuja.
Previously, the only one we could find was in Kaduna and I didn’t want to go all the way to Kaduna for an hour or two hour long appointment so it was keep searching.
My referring doctor is calling the psychologist right now so I’m going to call him later in the day to set up my first appointment/consultation. Mental health is different to handle from other healthcare matters. Someone like doctor rozelle would be brilliant for physical health conditions, but not so much for this. I need an expert in mental health.
The doctor said I’ll have to work on this with the psychologist for a while to fix my issues but I’m determined so I’m in it for the long haul.
Even though this will be the first time that I’m actually visiting a psychologist, I have always believed that they have the ability to help you get to a better place with your mental health. My friend was recently telling me about it as she read some information that was provided by Upskilled about what it would be like to start a career in this field and she wanted to help people, just like this psychologist would be helping me. It’s good to know that there are individuals out there who are determined to make you feel better, and I’m just as determined to get through to the end of this process.
I hope you stick with it, Sugabelly. Therapy can be hard but it surely has its benefits. All the best in everything. Rooting for you:)
Thank you so much. I’m really nervous to start but happy too.
I’m also rooting for you. I hope you get all the help you need.
Way to go girl… The lord is your strength.
you gonna be fine dear..
This is the anonymous from the previous post 🙂
Excellent news!!! I hope you give the therapy your best shot. Be as honest and introspective as possible. I went through therapy for a couple of years, after the culmination of some personal issues began to derail my life. It was the best decision I ever made. One day I woke up and realized I was loving life a LOT more :)You will get there and it feels AWESOME!!
All the best!!
Good for you hun. I pray you get better having taken the first few steps to recovery.(((hugs)))
All the best.
I wish you the best
All the best!
You’ll be fine 🙂
My modest advice: some physical activity may help you.
Good one there… I wish you all the best
Hey, how’s therapy going?
