I'm not nervous about it...I just *****HATE***** being unprepared!! I am anal about having everything ready beforehand. I also like to have a good knowledge of what it is about.
When I spoke to him last night, I told him I was my pdoc gave me his name. He asked if I knew what my diagnosis might be and I said bipolar. I said I'm not sure where at on the "spectrum" yet, but I'm not concerned too much about it. I just want to feel better.
He asked if I had counseling before. I wanted to kill him. I *****HATE***** that word!!!!!!!! I said that I have done some research on my own about therapy, though. Grrr!! I will tell him not to say that. ok? :)
I said I think I might be more suitable for DBT than CBT because I am very resistant. I am also impatient. He said "You must have had some sort of therapy before if you know about that." What a fkn moron! I just said I didn't!!! I told him I do a lot of reading and writing on psych sites on the internet.
I don't mean to be negative, but I have a habit of being overbearing and analytical, even on professionals, and I don't really try to be. On the other hand I don't know if I can keep from playing games either. You guys know me. I don't stay on one path. I am avoidant. I am cynical and sarcastic. Then on the other hand (how many hands do I have) I can be so smooth and cooperative. You never know which one youre going to get smacked with. Most likely all of them in one session.
I hope he can handle it. I assure you he will be in for a treat.
