Hi there!
Yesterday I met with a new Psychiatrist. I have been very anxious in the lead up to this. I had a really bad experience !8 years ago with medication and a close attempt to take my own life. Which I believe was cause by my bad reactions to medications over about 1.5 years of trail and error. made me extremely sick. I left my wife and went and lived away in the bush away from people for the better part of 5 years. I thought I was going away to die.
So yesterday was an introduction get to know me a little. She has all of my hours of interviews before EMDR as well as notes from anger management and stress therapy. We talked a lot about what has been going on with me. We talked about my avoidance of medications first as one of my conditions was not to prescribe medication without a proper diagnoses.
Getting close to the end of the session she told me that I do have complexed PTSD and am suffering a lot of symptoms depression, anxiety, Dissociative disorder and possibly others. Then she said that complicating all of this is multiple head injuries. The file on my worse head injury is missing so she can not find out what happen then. So she is ordering MRI first to see what kind of damage was caused. She is also going to start doing all kinds of other testing and get me a proper diagnoses and hopefully help me out.
If I got anything out of this session it is that maybe they can help me. I have some hope.
Thanks for reading
