A page in the diary "to give my feelings a voice"

well, i had the appointment with my counsellor last night, and i have one with my doctor tomorrow to talk about my meds. i'm going to have to write down the concerns i have because it is very hard for me to communicate when i get emotional, and i don't have anyone to bring with me.

this was only my third session with this counsellor, but i think it will be good. she seems to be very perceptive and in tune with where i am and what i need. she books up really quickly so i've made a few more appointments already... hopefully that will keep me from having to wait so long again.

i'm thinking i might actually try to go to a movie tonight, and then i can also get a few groceries as there is a store in the same shopping centre. i've been eating lunch at work, but not much else the last few weeks.

i hope i have the courage to tell my doctor everything that's been going on - it may seem stupid but i don't want to disappoint him.

p.s. i hope to be able to contribute more to other diaries soon - i just haven't had the mental energy. i do read them though and think of you all often.

Glad the counsellor went well and you think it is going to be good for you.

Writing down your questions/concerns is a good thing. I do that with my psychiatrist and we have a good chat about things. Would be good to take someone with you but if you can't, be strong and get through it.

Go NB!!!

I can sympathise with you, I have similar concerns with my new coucilor, but she seems ok. I have to wait until mid march to see a Psychiatrist to check on my meds. I hate waiting! I just want to feel normal?!
