Im having a bad day. Ive been in therapy for a month now, once a week. Ive seen the pdoc once for med review, will see him again in 2 weeks. I have no patience. At all. I mean, I beep my horn in the drive thru line at McDonalds for Gods sake. I know Ive harped on this before, but they wont give me a "lable", or even a firm "diagnosis".
The tests Ive done online almost always end up with the same results..borderline bp, borderline borderline histrionic/narcissim, GAD, depression. I was diagnosed with ADD in my 20's, but my husband said he didnt "like me" on Ritalin..it took the spontenaity and fun out of me. So, like the dumb barefoot and pregnant & powerless creature I was, I stopped taking it.It just scares me that Im not on the right meds.

Pdoc upped my prozac to 60 mg a day, and said I could toss the Klonapin. I didnt toss it. Ive taken 2 in the past 2 days, as I could feel the beginnings of a panic attack coming on. Should I, at my next session, "demand" that I have testing done? I feel so fricking out of control these past few days. Partly could because I opened up alot with the therapist & she gave me a few writing exercises to do. Is my anxiety because Im thinking?

How long did it take anyone else to get through some issues with therapists? I realize everyone is different, and everyones situation is unique, but I feel very anxious. I want things not now, but RIGHT NOW. Yeah, yeah, I cant expect a lifetime of issues cant be resolved in 5 therapy visists. Im talking just a ballpark figure on how long you've been in therapy. Im so cornfused.

I am changed by what happens to me.
I am not reduced by it.
