Mental Health Blog - antidepressant treatment review

I saw my psychiatrist (Dr. T) today, and was a little disappointed.

Last time I saw her, I arrived at her office twenty minutes early. She decided that we would go ahead and start early since I was there and she didn't have another client at that time.

This time, however, I was early again and waited 10-15 minutes after my scheduled time before she came down to get me. I feel like she rushed through our appointment so she wouldn't be so behind with her next client. I feel cheated, especially since she's not cheap.

She put me on BuSpar for anxiety. I had told her that I'm having thoughts that at every possible moment something bad is going to happen to me. I think that every time I drive my car it will break down and every time I drive at night a deer will hit me. I also told Dr. T that I keep questioning everything and re-running through everything I do each day to make sure I haven't screwed anything up.

I'll still be on the Wellbutrin and Abilify, and I'm hoping that this will take away my anxiety or at least get it under control. I don't want any adverse side affects, especially weight gain; I'll take just about anything over weight gain, especially since I'm getting prepared to start running on a regular basis.

My iPod Nano will be delivered by the 3rd of August. I ordered it yesterday afternoon and paid an extra $10.00 to have it delivered in 2-3 days. Right now it is still in China, so I hope to have it on Thursday, and at the latest, Friday. I can't wait to get it. I'm hoping this will get me motivated to run, even if it is just on the treadmill at home.

I'm hoping to lose 50 lbs. by my graduation at the end of May. I need to lose it in order to look good for job interviews. Although, I think even if I do become a lot thinner I'll still be quite unattractive, but at least no one will be able to call me fat.
