Therapy

So I had my first session with my counselor today and was diagnosed with dysthymia and general anxiety disorder with panic attacks. Dysthymia is basically a depression category where I have depressive tendancies but like, I can be cheered up (from what I understand). She asked me if I was an angry person, and I of course answered "yes". Apparently anger and anxiety are like the proverbial chicken and the egg, so getting to the bottom of both and finding the root is probably going to be a good thing. She said that I had "garden-variety" stuff, and I'm not like really screwed up or anything, so thats good. I'm looking forward to more sessions, I am glad I am doing something pro-active about my issues. It makes me feel like there is hope I won't always be like this.
