Today I see my new psychiatrist near where we'll be living in a couple months. I am prepared, but still a little nervous. I was very satisfied with the psychiatrist I had where we last lived (in the south of Czech Republic). The good thing about him was that I didn't compare him to my long-time psychiatrist in the US and it was also good that I had no transference issues with him, either, like I had with my old American one.

This new pdoc is a female. I only ever had a couple female psychiatrists, briefly, when hospitalized or in an outpatient program. I recall liking them well enough, so I hope it will be the same again. I am nervous that this new pdoc's English isn't as good as the pdoc's in the south. We'll see. Hubby will join me today for the first meeting.

Tomorrow my new Czech class starts. I'm nervous about that, too. Feeling slightly overwhelmed.
