Very anxious about having to start all over with a new T. What I need is my meds adjusted. But I am not going to last long enough for that to happen unless somebody can get inside my head and fix it, even temporarily. I have no good way to describe what I feel like 24/7, but it's hugely unpleasant, and fixing to drive me over the edge.
I hate this. I hate being completely, totally crazy. I'm not even garden-variety depressed or anxious at this point, just crazy. The stress of trying to find new helpers on top of it just sucks. My last T was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I know lightning is not going to strike twice. Sigh. Sorry for the pity party. I just really don't feel well, and I don't think I can be helped.  CB |

((((((Candybear))))) You are NOT crazy. This is a hard time of year, and plus the anxiety of starting over again, along with everything that you're dealing with, is more than enough to make someone feel completely overwhelmed. You can do this. I sincerly hope that things go well with your new T.

Let us know how it goes. I hope she can help you. As a rule, I think that each successsive T I have gone to has been better than the previous ones (well, mostly). It might be a function of you knowing better what you want, and understanding what you need to put into it. You are dealing with a lot, and it is totally understandable to need some support and help with coping right now.
Love, Rap

So, I survived my first hour with a new T.
My official diagnosis: I dunno. Anybody I see the rest of my life is going to suffer in comparison with my last T, so there's that to get out of the way. I prefer to be intellectually compatible with my T's, and she seems able to keep up with me (not that I'm brilliant or anything, but some are smarter than others! I had one who clearly had smoked waaaaaay too much dope in the 70s. Never went back after the first session). She gave me her phone number and told me she was available 24/7 and not to worry if I wake her up in the middle of the night if I need to, which is a plus. She seemed to think my current insanity is anxiety run amok, and not bipolar, which is reassuring, and she was very validating in terms of granting me the right to be anxious, unlike my family members. After hearing what I make, she knocked her fee from $100/wk to $40, which was VERY nice, though still a chunk of change per month that I'm going to have to find somehow. I dunno. I wasn't immediately in love with her or at ease with her like I was with Gregory (the T direct from heaven), but it wasn't horrible, either. I suppose I'll give it a shot. |

Whoooooooaaaaaaa How exciting!!!!!
Yes but each T can do something special no other T can, sometimes they may seem more negative than positive features but they are each good at their jobs in different ways! I hope this T works out for you. (((CandyBear)))

It sounds like things went really well. It has to be so scary, but hang in there and keep trying. Hugs, Jan
