New Shrink.
That Poor Woman is taking a well earned break and I've just seen the stand in. Humph. Yes, anyone with any experience with mental health would expect some degree of resistance from the patient. Sadly, after an hour with this individual, I'm not happy. Predictably I don't think I'm the only one at fault.
Over the years I've tried a variety of medications to keep my wheels on the road; spending twenty minutes arguing about whether or not Melatonin gives me nightmares--it does-- was not a good start. Determination that I revisit a drug that saw me put on 20 kgs and made me manic, or another that made me throw up all day, or another that made me feel like I was underwater made for a tense session.
Eventually this genius decided that mindfulness was the answer. Just find some meaning in your life. FFS, years at school and that's it.
You know what would give me meaning? Being able to get my independence back. I can't do a job that doesn't involve my brain, because my body doesn't work. I can't sit at a desk because my brain doesn't work.
I've decided that I can at least entertain myself and give this numpty a run for their money. Under other circumstances I'd give their complacent arse the flick, but these aren't other circumstances. I'll bet they have gone to the trouble and inconvenience of reading my file before the next ,and last, appointment. Humph.
