I just got home from my first session with my new psychiatrist! I'm relieved to say that she was an absolute joy, and as awkward as I was feeling, her presence and demeanor kept me calm.
We discussed medication for my depression and anxiety, and the possibility of a psychiatric service dog was touched on. My next appointment is 3 weeks away (I wish it was sooner!!), and I'm sure we'll talk more about it then. I'm going to send her an e-mail listing my daily struggles so she can review and determine the next course of action. We talked about some of the reasons as to why I suffer from anxiety and depression, mostly my shaky family life, some emotional abuse I've suffered, etc.
Her office is in the middle of the city, and it's about an hour's drive, not counting traffic...and there was a LOT of traffic! We spent an annoyingly long amount of time finding public parking, but we didn't have to pay for our spot (the church covered us, how wonderful)!
I have two blog posts I'm working on, that are a bit late. I am just so worn out from the convention, I can barely concentrate on what I'm typing right now! Plus I feel so nauseous...ugh. I'll get to them ASAP, though~
