TW: Mental Health talk & Tongue Tied Epilogue
          So recently, I took it upon myself to seek out therapy for my mental health. I suffer GADs, heavy amounts of stress, and spouts of depression. That was one reason why I was always lacking updates. I've been seeing my therapist since December of 2017, and she sees me every week. She's trying to help me with my cognitive thinking, which basically is one way to help any kind of anxiety or depression. You can train your brain to take things better, or react better. I.E. Someone has caused you to feel anxious, so rather you decide to internalize and freak out, you would try to take deep breaths and to attempt at thinking more rationally. We haven't gotten very far in anything, of course, but I have noticed change in myself already. Monday evening when I was trying to sleep, I was under so much stress and anxiety that my body reacted in a way that when I even fell to sleep, I'd wake up unable to breathe and a large tightness in my chest. When I informed her, she was very definite in saying she would see me on the 16th of January. I never wanted to go to therapy because  I worried about judgement from someone else, but she has shown me that there are people, like me, who need someone to talk to. That there are times where not even a best friend, family member, or significant other can help you feel better. It's not like my therapist /does/ anything because the only thing she does is talk about it with me and ask what was going on, and what triggered it. She makes me keep a diary of my emotions, and has me go over them each week. She wants to see, too, if I'll ever need medication. TONGUE TIED UPDATE:  There will be a possible epilogue for Tongue Tied for anyone that is interested in this post. I really appreciate everyone. Stay strong.

So recently, I've been starting therapy for my own mental state. Things have been rough for me for so long, that I knew it was time to get some help. The woman I see is very understanding and wonderful. I'll be seeing her tonight for about two hours. Soon I'll get back into writing the next chapter when I can.
