Oh thanks for checking. It went OK. I started crying in the first minute, and I don't usually cry in there, so I think she took it easy on me. I sort of explained what was going on at the moment with T. (It's only 25-minute session, and we also had to talk medication, so didn't go into too many details.) I think my weepy state helped keep her from going on about alcohol stuff too much, she seemed to approve of approaches I was using to be mindful of it and work at cutting back, plus that I'm working on it with T.

I do appreciate her, because a couple meds I mentioned, she was like, in one case, "yeah, that's just these two older, cheaper meds combined, for much more money" (I think mix of Buspar and Zoloft--forget if the one she was referring to was Vibryd or another one). She's having me try really low dose of Abilify again (she said I could even take it every other day--I'm really sensitive to meds) with the Zoloft to help with the depressive spirals I can get in. (I've tried quite a few meds over the past 5 years, some with some pretty bad adverse effects, like psychological effects--no SNRIs for me!)
