i'm not sure...
perhaps, it's something to do with knowing that you're safe in his office, and you can tell him anything |

Are you able to tell your psychiatrist about different times outside of the office when you did feel scared?
Sometimes my brain kind of cuts off my feelings when I try to talk about them to other people. During my childhood, I wasn't allowed to show feelings or talk to other people about what my family was really like. Now, if I start to feel vulnerable a part of my brain says "no, don't tell anyone!" and kind of blows a fuse. I get all robot-y and out of touch with feelings, and it's hard to remember things for a while. I've also had the experience of feeling so safe with a T that I could let everything out--then I felt scared (and sad) when I left the office and had to face other people who might not be so nice to me. Glad you are connecting with your psychiatrist! This would be a good thing to bring up during a session, I think. |

I can relate to how you're feeling Moira. As for anxiety, it's not something you can entirely fix just with a psychiatrist. Are you doing anything to deal with your anxiety OUTSIDE of his/her office, and what are you doing to deal with it?

Its look like a depression problem. But As I know its in initial stage so look towards this as quick as possible.

Definitely work with your doctor to wean yourself off any medication--that way you have someone else to help you watch for side effects! Maybe ask for a different med to get your doc's support.
I agree that other tools besides medication from a psychiatrist are needed for most people to deal with anxiety in the long term. |
