Had my first meeting with the shrink this afternoon, spent 1hour and 15 min.
Nausea, lack of appetite , anxiety are not due to withdrawal. Withdrawal lasts at the most 3 weeks. His words. ??????
Dysthemia is causing that. ???? all symptoms of withdrawal are far gone, he said.?????
And since I had a childhood so lacking in affection, I do tend to choose partners that are not suitable for me, very low esteem(uncounscious). I dont always feel this(low esteem) But with the choices of men, I have to see a corrolation. And off goes anxiety and depression and that at the beginning of the relationship. And afterwards later in life, comes dysthemia. And, that will always be present, at different degrees. Learn to live with this, it will alleviate, and depending on life's circumstances, it can go up again.
Tag also in a moderate way.
He's referring me to a social worker, which I am happy about.
In all this talk, I forgot to mention hydroxyzine, seeing family dr next week, will do that then.
I take dezirel 25mg for sleep, he said to go to 50, could help with anxiety and unease.
He does not like the ativan, but understand it is not the time to stop it.
Could my brain be damaged, I asked? no way, he said.
All in all, except the first part, I am very glad I went to see him. Explained so much about myself.
