okay... The first appointment went well. She was easy to talk to...she seemed nice. I liked her office. She has a great view. She was on time. She validated a lot of what I said. With regards to Artboy and how long we've been together w/o a proposal...and how with my last relationship we were together for 10 years and I didn't want to repeat that...she said I was thinking very clearly on that. I talked about Ryan and his suicide attempt. I talked about work. I talked about my sex problems. She asked if I had any idea why I was depressed. She asked about my thoughts on medicine, and I told her I was anti pills, but that if she thought I needed to try it, I would. She said there are some people she sees that she thinks absolutely need meds, but that she was on the fence with me. She asked what I wanted to do, and I told her I'd like to try counseling first. I didn't see how there was any way I could talk about myself for 45 minutes...but before I knew it, it was over. She gave me homework. I'm to work out 3 times this week, do 15 min a night in this workbook she asked me to get, and to make an appointment with the gynocologist. According to the workbook, I'm a lot more depressed and anxious than I thought. And not as happy in my relationship as I thought. I suspect that is because of the depression, but we'll see. I was 1 point away from being severely depressed. Moderate anxiety. I don't fit my image of someone who is severely depressed and moderately anxious. I've been thinking about it since...wondering just how accurate that really is. I have an appointment for next Thurs after work. |
