    DH came with me - the therapist talked to us both together for a few minutes. Then she had dh leave the room and we talked one-on-one. Nothing too heavy at first - sort of talked through a typical day for me and how I felt about it. She had me take a "quiz" that ranked my PPD and we talked about what that meant - as far as treatment. All in all, lasted about an hour. I was very nervous - but once I got there, everything was fine.

    GL!

    I just explained everything I was feeling.  I decided that I needed to be completely honest with my therapist, otherwise he wasn't going to be able to help me the way I needed to be helped.  I cried and embarrassed, but he made me feel super at ease and totally confident that I was making the right decision to get help.

    I hope that you're able to get out everything that you're feeling.  It will make a huge difference for you.  I am 100% better and I hope that you will be too!
