ok made it to the appointment today
ok well i went to seek some counselling but instead of a counselor i got a psychiatrist(sp?),great even better,just what i need.well first thing he asks is what do you expect to get out of comeing here?i said for somebody to figure out what is wrong with my head and fix it.he said,great cuz im a doctor and i can do that.so i told him some of whats happened and whats been happening and how i feel.also how my temper sucks and i dont like going to stores and big groups of people.and how i thought i was dealing with these issues the right way by building model cars,playing on the XBOX and going online.he said it sounds like ive done a pretty good job of dealing with the issues.i was like WHAT?!!he says well you havent ended up in jail,you arent on drugs and youre not an alcoholic.he says that for people like me the internet and online gameing is the best invention ever made cuz it gets me talking to people without haveing to wory about meeting them if i dont want too.im like whoa the ex said that isnt the right way to deal with it.he says its a good thing that i do some of the things i do.he also said that someone like me actually benefit from haveing a couple beers/drinks when they get home at night.he said it actually calms people like me down.i told him that i hate beer but drink the hard stuff when i do drink and that i have brought some home a few times and was told by the ex "you cant have alcohol in the house with the kids!!"he says that is absolutely wrong.he said its perfectly fine to have it as long as you arent abuseing it as in drink 5 6 packs a night every night but 2 or 3 beers/drinks wont hurt anything.he told me just a light buzz may work wonders for me or it may not but that i might consider trying it.he had no problem useing swear words in front of me and no problem with me useing them.



unlike the last place i went that didnt do a thing to figure out the problem other than waste my time for an hour and give me pills to try and if they didnt work they gave me something else to try.this place wants to figure out whats wrong and try to fix it with or without meds although the Dr. said i definately do need something to calm me down and help with other issues but the psycologist(SP?) is gone to iceland for a month.so ill have to wait till the end of june for that.but thats ok i guess.ill try some of his suggestions.

i like this dude.i didnt like the last guy i saw for these issues.i got the feeling that i could trust this guy when he asked the first question.he also asked why i dont want to see my son right now.i told him exactly why and he said "that was a great answer and he could understand my concern and agrees with me.



yup ill stick with this place.they actually want to figure me out instead of just popping me full of pills and hopeing it will work like the last place was doing.this guy wants to make sure i get the right meds that i need right from the start.sounds good to me!!

Good for you Rich glad that you went and talked to somebody. Like he said every now and then you need to have a drink and get the things off of your mind. The wife and I will have a few drinks every night and just sit and talk. About our lives and anything else that is bothering us. Helps to keep you sane. I have a really big problem with communication but after a few drinks anything that has been bothering me at work comes out and I can get it off my chest. Your person is "US" here a SDD.com. You know that if you need to talk to we are all here for you. Like I said before Good for You glad that you are talking to someone and getting your problems worked out.

I'm glad you found someone you feel comfortable with and is wanting to help. A couple drinks helps me out everyday.


Hope things start getting better!:sweet

My take on shrinks is that they don't have the answers to your problems/concerns. All they can do is ask questions that you already know the answers to. I've never seen one. I've always thought I had enough sense to figure out my problems myself. Maybe that's why I'm so misaligned and a misanthrope. :eek: :D

Glad you're getting it worked out. Sometimes a little reassurance you're doing the right thing makes a world of difference.
