Dear, I have come across your website during my search for online help to my intense anxiety I am having currently . I am a female, 34 years old, have been in therapy for 3 years now. I have decided to go to therapy due to a relationship I had where by I identified with my ex and even went to changing my personality to try to make it work. ( this personality change I guess happened bec of me letting him make my decisions for me ). In my 3 years therapy, my psychologist and I were trying to find myself back. After 3 years, though we had a very good therapy ( positive transferance ) I was still feeling this is not me. Until I came across one psychiatrist and went for a first visit to get a second opinion. When I met him , I felt that his outlook for life resembles how I used to feel life before my relationship. But here my anxiety emanated and it is very extreme currently and for the first time I started taking medication (for anxiety). My thoughts are racing ; should I change ? What needs to be changed? How ? My lifestyle ? Who am I now? And mainly this last question: who am I?I'm sorry for this long story, but my main concern currently is to overcome this anxiety and for this I am trying to educate myself as much as possible. On the other hand, could you advise if I have made a good decision going to my new psychiatrist and doing therapy with him? How much should I give it time before deciding if I should go back to my former psychologist ? I appreciate any feedback I get, and in all cases, even having someone listen will be helpful.
