Reply To: GRR Highly Suspect I Am…BUT Questioning Assessment, She suspected otherwise

[skippingrock]

She said that I have sever procrastination with my depression and anxiety but I also have perfectionism. That my perfectionism usually helps me overcome the fact that I don’t feel like doing things. But lately I’ve been more depressed and it is cancelling out my extra focus that I get from my “fear” of not having people see me or my work as perfect and that is why things are slipping and not getting done.

Well, I have an appointment with my GP in a couple of weeks. She has known me since I was in junior high school. This psychiatrist has “known” me for what, one and a half hours?!

My GP just wanted me to go to see what the psychiatrist said and see about going to another psychiatrist, don’t know if I should have switched the medication now… second guessing this whole thing I don’t want to get stuck on this stuff (Effexor XR) if I shouldn’t be on it in the first place.

I’d be really interested in what has happened thus far with the original author of this thread, @moime3d how are things going with you?

The thing that bugs me is that there are many times, like even now, where I don’t really feel depressed, but I just can’t focus and get things done. I haven’t been depressed all of my life. I’ve been a relatively content person until recently.
