Great Appt :-)

I had a great time with my pdoc. We talked about quite a lot and he got to know me all over again since it's been 9 months since he last saw me. He noticed right off that I was manic. Well it would have been hard not to with me bouncing around like a two year old at a toy store. I have another appt with him in 2 weeks and he booked me one with the psychiatrist to get me started on meds. Kinda worried about that because I'll be starting school a week after that appt and if I'm just getting started on meds then I might have wacky side effects and... You get the picture. Well, no use worrying about that just yet. I'm proud of myself for gong and he seemed pretty pleased that I've been doing so much to not self harm anymore.
Now back to regular programming.

I am glad you had a good experience. I'm a bit "up" today too. A Dr. you took the time with you is to be treasured. It is balm to the spirit. :)

I'm glad your appointment went well. It's hard to find a doctor that will spend more than a few minutes with you so you must have a good doctor. I hope you don't crash and your sails will let out slowly back to a normal mood.

He was pretty cool. I told him flat out that he's stuck with me for an hour so we just sat and talked about possible triggers and my hallucinations and stuff. I hope I never have to get a new doc because I'm comfortable wit him.

It's great to have a doc you like and trust. When do you see the psychiatrist?

Maybe you could call the pdocs office and let them know you're interested in seeing her/him sooner if there is a cancellation.

    Mom and I have errands to run this morning. She said we can get sushi for lunch though.  I go back to work today. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

    Quick, before the evil MONday gets here!  Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That.  Sadly.  But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top.  I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
