First visit to psychdoc coming up......

Posted by fleeting flutterby on April 29, 2008, at 13:10:54

Hi all,

I've never been to a psychdoc before but was on an anti-depressant once, about 7 years ago-- my GP prescribed it-- Celexa. (just took it for 5 months-- I have an aversion to medication)

I'm quite nervous to go. I was told it would be a 90 minute meeting for the first visit!! 90 minutes!! The GP that prescribed the anti-depressant took no more than 10 minutes-- I jsut don't see what will take so long!

And also-- was wondering if anyone has advice as to what they have found works well for them. I have been dx with various things: major depressive disorder;recurrant- moderate... anxiety disorder... OCD.... and when stressed I can tend to get paranoid(so I'm told-- though to me such thoughts seem very valid). I have never stayed at a job long due to anxiety/stress/ and thoughts that people don't like me and are against me.
*phew*.. this is hard.... don't talk about myself usually.
BTW-- I was formerly "mandyfins" from another site-- but I don't belong there anymore-- just in case some here might know of me.

thank you,
fl.flutterby
