Just wanted to update you ladies on my sessions with the psych............I'M NOT CRAZY!!!!  giggle  I'm having sessions with him twice a week and have discovered that I have several true disorders that we are working through and trying to find meds that are appropriate.  Turns out I have a Depressive disorder, and anxiety disorder, I'm borderline OCD and ODD, Adult ADD and Bi-Polar has not been completely ruled out.  We are taking it slow with the meds, making sure one works before starting another-----currently I'm taking Cymbalta for depression (seems to be the miracle drug so far) and I just starting taking Klonipin for anxiety.  If these seem to do me good after a few weeks, we'll try an ADD med ontop of it all.  Sound like a lot of meds, but I'm just so ready to feel good again!!!  it felt so good to sit in front of a Doc. and say "I feel like a hypochondriac".  His response....."If you have the presence of mind to think you are one, then you probably are not!"  What a relief that was!

You are such a great woman to realize that you need to take action and actually do it!!   yourock  girlfriend!!

It is such a relief to know that this is something that a lot of people struggle with  bighug  I go back and forth with it, good days and bad.  I am a very up and down person.  I know that it might be getting bad if all I want to do it be at home. 

I think I was looking for something to feel that empty spot, UYC was so right!  That was the word I was looking for the whole time I was struggling with it "empty" and never could find the words to explain it !!   

Done, I am so glad you found a Dr. that really helps you and doesn't just give you Meds.  bighug

As my Psych says, my other Docs just kinda played around the mud puddle rather than really digging in..........there are alot of underlying issues that can't be "fixed" with a mediactaion.........there just isn't a miracle drug or magic wand to do that.  This Doc. makes me feel so comfortable and I'm just kicking myself in the butt for not going to him sooner........but at least I'm getting it under wraps now!  Overmedicationg is something that totally frightens me.....he achknowledges that and is helpping me through it----one med at a time!
