Thank you so much for your sharing...
Yes I was very disturbed. I was very careful NOT to throw around my past dx -C-ptsd. I just mentioned it and said I had been in therapy for a year to help me. I mentioned my blackouts, anxiety, ex, and family situation. All that could be discussed within 25 minutes.
It felt as though I was in a factory..just another woman with issues. Throw some casual insight and suggest meds. It hurt. Ironically I didn't even get into anything big. Maybe that comes in time.? She didn't seem too interested...she seemed to have time restraints..
When I mentioned my ex's dx and some of the stuff that went on she did not seem to get it..."just said that is a severe dx and those are bad characters'..it was like she thought his dx was nonsence and if it were the case I'de be in a freezer somewhere. it's not a T.V. show.
However when I spoke about family her eyes lit up and thought they were "borderline"..her words not mine. It was so strange.
It tooks months of therapy with my first T before he even suggested or spoke about a dx..you have to listen and understand someone before you just start throwing around dx's...
I didn't like the stipulation of meds, I could have argued it, but I assumed, it couldnt hurt. ?? I don't know. To me it just seemed like habit. Somwone NEEDS meds to help them...
I guess I'll see how the mtg with the P-doc goes. I must prepare myself so all bases are covered...I'll explain my feelings and see what she says.?
I don't have to do or take anything. I just want to be normal and happy. I don't know the right path and I dislike that even more.
