went to the psychiatrist today
saw my dr. today. it's weird. he wants me to think about how things effect me, like validating my own feelings but it just seems so weird. like i kind of still have to go out in the world and function. maybe that's his point. that i should validate my feelings and deal with the hurt, discomfort loneliness even so? mentally i am pretty fragile and my mood changes a lot. I try and deal with things
with a sense of stoicism, focus on the positive and cope and accomplish things as I can. I kind of want to be angry at him and the whole business, but I can't. I just need to keep coping with my life. I am so suggestable that even the hint of what he said to me makes me feel like i have to change myself and it's starts happening..:(

Gentle hug sweetie.... You are really good at trying to assess things with an open mind.... Good for you... I know that it's not easy..... Happy and peaceful Easter to you my friend.....xo
thanks beautiful lady!
I, too, think you are good at assessing things in your life.
living life, dealing with life, focusing on life and knowing that it's all ever-changing is overwhelming for anyone and then put each of our personal information, i.e., diagnoses, individual life situations, PTSDs, Bipolar, Anxiety...a dash of this and a heaping teaspoon of NOW WHAT ~ it helps to have a dr to be there for each of our needs.
You've got coping skills and forward, positive thinking going on with fortitude your strong point ... my own opinions, of course. Why not stick with your new plan of action with new doctor ~ you don't have to lie down and get steamrolled over, right? I don't think you would allow that to happen.
You can always ask, discuss and change plans with him too. As long as you think you're alright with things/doctor, you'll do fine. Don't let what hasn't happened change your future, mark. After all, the future hasn't even happened yet. Wising the best to someone who does well processing information, new and old = YOU. Happy Easter.
thanks guys!! Happy Easter!!
