1st appt with Psy
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi all
I thought I'd let you all know how it went with my 1st appt with the Psychiatrist yesterday.
She did a full assessment and asked me lots of questions about past and present. I thought I'd become emotionless until she started asking those questions which made me cry my eyes out.
She said I had many issues and she has to think about what sort of help I need. She believes I need long-term counselling and to get things out of my system. My next appointment is in about 6 weeks time, so I don't really know what to expect.
She was very nice and sympathetic and I felt very comfortable with her. I'm glad that I went and happy that things maybe rolling for me now - I'm aware that it's going to take a long time before I start to feel better but, I accept that now.
I'll have to see my GP about me not wanting to go for CBT anymore. Before I even went to see the Psychiatrist I've been disappointed in my therapist because of her 'bullying' tactics. If she sees me in a good mood she's great with me but, when she sees me in low mood she's really stroppy and mean. She also believed that I didn't need to see a Psychiatrist.
Anyway, take care all. I'm off on holiday later on today and am going to try to enjoy it.

great stuff, congrats, now you will get somewhere behappy, now you have specialist help you should start to improve even before your next appointment :mrgreen: just keep reminding yourself that the experts are on the case now :wink:
i've said before that there are good therapists and bad ones :? by what you say you definitely have a bad one :shock: tell your trickcyclist about her and that you need to start again with another therapist :ok: the right therapist can work wonders, it can be hard work but it really works and is worth the effort :rainbow: the trouble with therapists is they can 'practice' WITHOUT any formal qualifications :shock: and also there is a big shortage of them in the NHS :huh:
relax, enjoy your holiday and get out in the fresh air, even if it's only for short walks :ok: :wink: oh and go easy on the alcohol if you like a swally :roll: :whistle:
bon voyage,
Ken~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :run: :peace: :rose:
