Hi All: I have been with the same shrink for two years and it has not gone so smoothly. Sometimes I feel like I am talking to myself and paying $175 for 15 minutes of nothing. One day she suggested divorce, I have never even thought about divorce because when you marry you marry for better or worse. She tells me to go to work all the time and I am sleeping 14 hours a day. How do you work when you can't keep your eyes open and you know you can't deal with too much stress cause you'll have a panic attack. I think she doesn't feel me. I told the secretary to relay a message to her that I am chaning docs and then she called back asking for an appointment. There is something about her I'm not sure I like, we don't click. Should I give her a second chance on my appointment tomorrow or just go with the doc that prescribed the meds that made me feel like I did in my 20's and before BP?? Sorry I rambled...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The hardest part about getting help is being open and honest to the pdoc and or tharapist.
If youhave a desire to get better and do what ever it takes. I say yes. But If you are looking just to change up on your meds so that you get so niumb you dont care about anything then I would say no.
I do however think thatthere is value in seeing someone over a long period of time.
The he or she can see your recovery from a better stand point.
Take what you need and leave the rest.
