Has therapy helped with confidence and acceptance?

I’m dealing with an awful flare of some kind on my lips and my mind is in a very bad state right now. I had this same flare up happen to me about 5 years ago and I feel like I have ptsd from it. I’m so anxious that I haven’t been sleeping well (I wake up with a pounding heart), eating much (it hurts), or going out because I don’t want people to see my crusty lips. I feel like I’m spiraling trying to figure out the cause is and it isn’t helping my state of mind.

I finally scheduled a therapy session this week and am hoping I can get continuous help with accepting the things in my life that I can’t control. Have any of you noticed therapy has helped your mindset around this chronic condition?
