Re: Pshychoanalysis anyone?

Thank you, Toofat, you may have felt as if you struggled to explain, but what you wrote made perfect sense to me. I guess, deep down, there must be something keeping me from quitting right now. Maybe because I can see/feel a need, or maybe because there has been some unrecognised satisfaction with the process so far. I just don’t know myself well enough yet in order to be able to say.

I am glad you didn’t find it all dark and confusing. It’s probably what scares me the most about the whole process – that it will be one long, miserable ride. And even after the first visit, I felt the need for extra support, and can see your suggestion of a support group as a valid one. What sort though? There are ADHD support groups around, but I am not sure where to look to find other forms of support groups that may be more appropriate.

I am seriously considering looking into a change of therapist though. I sort of feel “judged” on the basis of my decision to seek medication for the short term treatment of my more serious symptoms, and I don’t know if I can completely open up when I feel that way. It was also frustrating to have him want to set an appointment for the same time each week, despite assuring me that my shift work could be worked around and would not be an issue. Having to specify a set time was really stressful, and did not give me the opportunity to select appointment times that would benefit me the most. Anyway, we’ll see.
