I went from anxiety to depression last night. I think they're some sort of tag team. I spent most of the rest of the day staring and sleeping. I even forgot to eat. Hmmm... Maybe I should stick with the depression. I eat everything that doesn't move when I'm anxious.
My therapist said this was the first time I told him that I was having trouble with my OCD. I'm positive it wasn't. It's just the first time I cried all through the session about it. I was frustrated because it just doesn't seem to help as much as it used to. And because he kept saying I need to call to talk to my psychiatrist about meds when I kept trying to tell him what side effects SSRI's have, and how I'd rather work with it with CBT like I have in the past. At the very end of the session, he finally seemed to understand and give me a few CBT words. I know he's a bigger believer in medication than I am, but it still felt dismissive. Which was probably more me than him.
