Hey Lemmings
I think maybe I’m just a bit anxious right now.
But I don’t know what to expect.
I already go to a psychologist once a week, since my early teens (although I had some time off until now).
Should I expect the same dynamics?
I know why I’m going and all, I know what I wanna “treat”, but I’m still in doubt about if what I want to treat is the treatment I need, and it would be more of a consequence of some deeper stuff.
Don’t know if I made myself clear, but there it is.
Has anyone been to one before? What should I expect? How it went for you?
Edit: so, I did it and it was VERY NICE. He was very welcoming and made me feel very secure. He ended up prescribing two medications for me, to which I expressed some concerns, but he made me feel comfortable and trust him about it. When he was talking and said something about “having a normal life again” I almost cried lol.
Yeah, it was great. I’m on meds already, but haven’t noticed any difference so far. He said I’d get a bit more anxious at first, but maybe I’m just feeling more sleepy? Don’t know, my sleep hours aren’t that consistent anyway.
It was a long appointment, tho, 1 hour total. I think the next ones won’t be that long, as he was just getting to know me at first.
