Saw the Dr this morning.
Is changing my medication: Reducing citalopram (weening off) from 40mg to 20mg and starting me on a course of Mirtazapine 15mg.
Wants to see me in 2 weeks. Read my letter above and understood my concerns… advised that the T’s they have now are better trained; they had put in a complaint regarding the ones they’d have previously… that I’m to put more faith into the sessions this time and in order for them to help me I’ve got to actually talk and open up rather than shut down and give it up as a waste of time before it starts as they definitely won’t be able to help in that scenario.
Advised that they have the capacity to refer me to more specialised professionals if needed (this was unprompted) and if necessary hospital treatment.
So yeah that’s the update.
Going to do my best to take each day at a time till next Monday… I know it’s going to be hard since the supervisor is off work for 2 weeks… and we’re down to 2 people (in an office that should have a min of 4) so the pressure is on and I can’t slip or my colleague will drown under the strain (she's relatively new and has little to no idea about my procedures or work load)
Bit blank and empty this morning… can work with that… at least not overwhelmed with despair.
