Maybe psychotherapy could help me in the months before he visits. I feel embarrassed to talk about these things - even with a psychiatrist. I have superstitions and paranoia about my friend even though I know they are ridiculous.  |
I agree that talking it through can be beneficial. Do you currently have a T and Pdoc(psychiatrist) ? T's are quicker to get appointments with, than PDocs.
It's scary to bring fears, and possible delusions to those in such positions. A primary doctor with old world/school understanding of superstitious beliefs, can be a useful doctor, to have.
How to address a spiritual emergency without making it sound like this is an everyday occurrence, seems to be the heart of the matter.
If you are under care, then there's an excuse, for a sober visit in your home. My primary, once addressed my then husband and myself, together, about the ires of alcoholism and the effects it can have on some people. I'd recently, at that point had a nervous breakdown, compounded by the discovery that I had MS, still post parthum and in the heat of August. It was my then husband being addressed as an alcoholic.
Guess, the point is, any type of break is so very scary to bring up. If you are behaving calm and in a cry for help, without being a danger to self or others, you'll get the help you need.
Really hope others can chime in, here...
