Today I called Blue Cross to find out what my coverage would be for counseling. I found out thate my employer offers free counseling. They transferred me to the intake worker and now I have an appointment at 4:00 today. They sure don't mess around. Fish or cut the bait. I guess I am fishing. I am nervous about this but happy. I feel good that I am going.

I wish everyone continued success.

A dream come true!

 That is wonderful for you, having an employer that offers so many great benefits. I am happy that you are able to access them so quickly is an added bonus for you. Here's a HUG and a BIG SMILE!

Hey Mich 

Thanks for sharing that information.  I have EAP with Blue Cross, too, but probably wouldn't have even thought of calling there for counselling if/when I might need it.  It's awesome that you got in right away.  You didn't have a chance to change your mind or give up while you waited! Lots of places you would have to wait for days or weeks to actually see someone.  I hope it's helpful for you.

I liked the woman that I spoke to. She is nice and full of confidence. For the next couple of weeks I wil be seeing her once a week. Then it is going to be me and husband going to see her.
