Next visit with Dr. W.
Before we begin therapy I like to talk about a little about what I did the previous week. Then the Dr. sets the tip of his pen on the note paper, looks up and throws questions at me.
"How are you feeling?"
I glance outside. "Ah, I think I'm feeling better, but when so and so said things that bothered me I noticed that my mind began to race."
"How long did your mind race?"
I glance up as though the answer is written on the ceiling. "Maybe one day. No I think it was 2 days. I did tell the person they made me feel uncomfortable. Then I went for a long walk. Then I ate some chocolate. Then I went shopping. Then I had wine. Then I watched TV. I guess I'm having some difficulty focussing and I'm tired."
Dr. W asks, "Did you really feel uncomfortable when so and so said those things to you?"
"Of course."
Dr W scrunches his forhead. "What were you really feeling?"
After giving the wrong answer several times it turned out I was feeling hurt. So next time I have to tell people THAT HURT
My med had been increased.
