I'm seeing the psychiatrist tomorrow.

[mykpart]

I'd say, ask me anything, but nobody ever posts on my threads.

1. .

:hi:

:hug:

[MoseyWalker]

2. for what reason?

[mykpart]

6. Because I'm crazy.

:). And he will renew my prescription for Zoloft.

[MoseyWalker]

14. zoloft is for common depression

not someone who says they are "crazy".

Zoloft takes 2 to 4 weeks to make things change.

Are you in a place where you can take that?

please answer.

[mykpart]

18. I have major depression and have ben

taking Zoloft for some time now, and it helps. I was just trying to be funny when I said I'm crazy. Thanks for being concerned. That's nice.

[donheld]

24. Of course you're crazy

Why else would you log into DU. Repuglicans make everybody crazy.

[Dangerously Amused]

3. I will.

:hug:


Take care.

[BarenakedLady]

4. Good luck

:hug:

I have to call and make an appointment with one tomorrow. I'm already in therapy, but need someone besides my GP to prescribe meds, since they aren't working.

:hug:

7. Does the office have a drive-thru lane or do you have to park and go inside?

[mykpart]

10. The clinic where I get my flu shot has a drive-thru,

but for the psychiatrist, I have to park and go in.

[struggle4progress]

16. So a Vegas wedding would take less time than a visit to the headshrinker?

Is that really a good thing?

8. I recently stopped seeing mine.

The counseling really helps. :hug:

I've told other people this: if you want responses to your posts you must submit pictures of yourself in partial undress and then quip, "Whatever am I to do?" IOW, don't take the lack of response personally. We are a simple bunch sometimes, we DUers. :hug:

9. *snort*

"if you want responses to your posts you must submit pictures of yourself in partial undress and then quip, "Whatever am I to do?"

:rofl:

I love you! :loveya: You actually made me laugh...

[crim son]

11. I am at your service, Madam.

So few have my sense of humor!

[mykpart]

12. crimson, you really don't want to look at my 59-year old body.

My husband still enjoys it, but I'm sure no one else would.

[crim son]

13. Well, as a 43 year old female,

I would look at you with respect and honor. But I'm not posting any butt-shots myself. :) :toast:

[BikeWriter]

21. Oh, c'mon now! Whatever happened to sportsmanship?

:shrug:

[u4ic]

15. Are you calling me

a nobody?:grr:






:D

I hope you get the assistance you seek from the appointment. :pals:

[Omphaloskepsis]

17. I'm actually planning on working on the money side of seeing one in the morning..

Hopefully the Oregon Health Plan can help out.

[Lisa0825]

19. Have a good session!

Is this a first visit, or a regular appointment? The first time I ever went to one was several years ago, months after my divorce, when I realized I wasn't "just getting over it." I was getting deeper. I poured out everything I was feeling. It was excrutiating and cathartic at the same time. I walked out of her office afterwards feeling like an anvil had been lifted off of my shoulders. It was incredibly liberating, releasing all that emotion (and walking out with Celexa samples in hand), feeling optimistic for the first time in so long, that I could feel better than I had felt for so long.

Whether this is a regualr visit or a first time, I hope you will feel good about taking a step toward feeling better.

:hug:

[EFerrari]

20. I hope this doc is helpful to you. Some are idiots and some

can be very good.

Good luck.

:hug:

[hickman]

22. Always wanted to see one.

Never had the money. Good for you.

[Der Blaue Engel]

23. Does Zoloft make you gain weight?

One of my biggest fears about changing my ineffective Wellbutrin for an SSRI is the weight gain.

I need to see a real psych soon instead of my well-meaning but too-busy and not-trained-for-this GP. And then I need to see a therapist. But a major symptom of my depression is the inability to take any action, so...sigh. It's a vicious circle.

Good luck with your visit!
