I talked with my psychiatrist today. It went well. We discussed the symptoms I had had and how reducing my antidepressant brought me out of a hypomania. I’m going to keep an eye on my mood until I see him next Friday.
I want to talk to him about my social anxiety. I’d like something to treat it. I’ve read CBD oil can help, but I’d also be open to benzodiazepines or beta blockers. I know therapy is probably the long term solution, but I need something to get me out the door.
