Saw my new psychiatrist. I guess new is not the word...never had one before. Saw my first psychiatrist today. Went well. Didn't cry as much as I did when I saw the therapist a couple weeks ago.
I like that he wants to get David into a doctor to deal with his anxiety and SA problems and that it won't be him due to a that being a conflict of interest.
I like that he helped make the session about my healing and then get him help on his own.
I like that he told me it was ok to be un-trusting and snoopy and that will take time to get over.
I like that he made me feel less alone. He said David's problem is becoming more and more common.
I like that from the little he heard about David he agrees that he probably has an anxiety disorder and we are taking the right steps towards getting better.
I like that he didn't assume we will "make it through this".
I also have night terrors (if you don't know what those are in comparison to nightmares go here. I also sleepwalk. I also have a habit of falling asleep in repetitive tasks. So aside from my depression I was a smorgasbord for this doctor.
He said he had never seen an adult with night terrors. My dad also sufferers from them so I figured it was common. From what I have read only about 5% of adults suffer from night terrors. My husband used to use this condition as a way to sleep in other bedroom and avoid time with me at night.
He also gave me the name of a local certified sexual addictions therapist. This one is not on my insurance plan so I am terrified how much it will cost. But maybe if we put a price on healing David will see value in it and invest more in it.
My brain hurts. Have a phone interview today. Gonna zone out for a while before the call.
