Bit the bullet

Hello everyone, hope this week goes well for all of us!
i had my three month check up with the surgeons NP. I also started the conversation about BED. Boy...that was hard to do. I almost cried talking to him about it! They are going to set me up with a psychologist through them(Texas Tech).
i'm a bit worried about it interfering with the clinic I go to but i'll Cross that bridge when I get there. I see my case manager later today so i'll have even more info about the next steps.
The NP was very happy with everything so I am relieved!
onto the next step!

Congrats! So glad to hear you are taking these first steps to addressing this disorder! This is how you end up being a success story, by recognizing issues and going after them! I think you'll end up wonderfully.
