Apprehensive about today

Today I see a psychiatrist.  My therapist and my doctor recommended it.  I needs meds of some kind to help me and they want me to do this first.  The therapist thinks I may have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to what happened to me as a child, we already know I suffer from depression and she also believes that I have ADD.

I'm quite nervous about this and don't really know what to expect when I get there.  My appointment is at 2pm and I know I'm going to be thinking about it all morning.

Sending you cyber hugs and hoping that your appt was a success in that it helps them determine how to help you.

I've been under care for more than twenty years because of my agoraphobia and panic disorder, and the care my doctor provides has allowed me to live a real, comfortable life. Have faith, and take a deep breath. I've had some great help from my doctor, and I hope you will from yours, as well.

Rachel, I put kind of an update in Sisters. The psych says BiPolar Disorder, not specified & HypoMania.

I'm going for a 2nd opnion, based on my own gut feeling and some things that Rebecca had to say.

Thanks for everyone's kind thought.
