blind_otter Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I saw a shrink today. I don't feel better. I have my one hour intake appointment, but it lasts 2 hours. Then the shrink leaves to consult a colleague. I end up with 2 psychiatrists and an intern sitting across from me telling me my case is very complex and they need me to come in for another hour intake appointment. It's really gut wrenching to go to these. I have to do a quick run down of everything that's every happened to me that has caused some kind of psychological turmoil. Which as many regulars on this board know, is a long list for otter. And they focus on the PTSD which involves me giving a basic breakdown of the events leading to the trauma, which is just jarring to the most extreme degree. But I have to look on the bright side. The fact that this shrink wants to see me again before they do a treatment plan, is a good thing. Right? She's taking her time. She's not just giving me some pills to shut me up. But I have a feeling this isn't going to be easy. Link to post Share on other sites
johan Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 You could print out some of your LS posts and let them start there. It would save you some talking and probably would be a more well-expressed version of some things. Link to post Share on other sites

johan Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 If I were Otter, before I provided the link to the shrink, I would consider changing my avatar. The link might make the shrink think you should be in the clink. Link to post Share on other sites
Adunaphel Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Do you like your shrink? Do you feel comfortable talking with her? I admit that I am wary of shrinks - I get the impression that for their patient to really feel at ease shrinks should be at least almost as intelligent as them. If my impression is right you might have problems finding a shrink that's bright enough to be about on your same level. The fact that this shrink wants to see me again before they do a treatment plan, is a good thing. Right? She's taking her time. She's not just giving me some pills to shut me up. This sounds promising. Link to post Share on other sites
Author blind_otter Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 She seems cool. She was well dressed and had good hair. As if that means anything. She kept mentioning how intelligent I am and how I'm smart and should be able to figure things out given the right direction. I dunno man. I fall apart with every little thing these days. I just get sick of trying. Link to post Share on other sites
