met new therapist, I like her!!!

I met my new therapist last night (my old therapist is moving to California, so she is "weaning" me on to the new therapist. The new therapist said she knew a lot about anxiety, because she used to have an anxiety disorder and has been successfully treated years ago. What really got me is that she said that she totally understands the desperation I'm feeling. Of course, when I heard that, I started crying. My old therapist and I are giving her the update as to where I'm at, and what I want to do next. They both LOVED Sage's info sheet, said it was super detailed and a great explanation.


As far as the meds, I actually slept almost normally last night! Yay! I thought I had slight nausea with the Klonopin, but it turned out to be panic. The Prozac is going okay, but I have to increase the dose in 2 days and I'm scared. As far as side effects, I've hadbowel issues the last two mornings, but I'm not sure if it's related to the meds or the lack of food I've been eating. That's getting better though, too. Tonight I'm planning to re-integrate meat into my diet, starting very slowly, with two to three forkfuls. I will get back to normal! I am feeling a bit more hopeful now.Edited by: kel12347

Hey Kel,


I think this will be a really good course of treatment for you. These guys sound like they know what they're doing (hey - anybody that loves my info sheet is a friend of mine - lol!)


Let us know how you're progressing!
