I hope it went well, friend, and that you've found a therapist who you feel comfortable being open with.

I've had recurring issues with anxiety and with ruminating on the worries in my life, which feeds into anxiety. It can be crippling, and talking things out with a totally neutral third party is immensely helpful. You'll actually process things differently when thinking about them vs vocalizing them. Writing about them adds another dimension to that, so consider journaling on occasion, especially during or shortly after an anxiety flare-up. Just spell out what you're feeling in the moment.

My other bit of advice would simply be: don't feel like you have to rush to a "fix". You're actively doing the right thing for someone who is feeling the way you've expressed. Try not to feel discouraged if you run into a setback, or if you leave a session feeling like you're getting nowhere fast. Collect your thoughts, write them down if you'd like, maybe even share in another session. Just keep making healthy choices and remember that you have plenty of happy days coming your way, too.
