Hey Lemmings

I think maybe I’m just a bit anxious right now.

But I don’t know what to expect.

I already go to a psychologist once a week, since my early teens (although I had some time off until now).

Should I expect the same dynamics?

I know why I’m going and all, I know what I wanna “treat”, but I’m still in doubt about if what I want to treat is the treatment I need, and it would be more of a consequence of some deeper stuff.

Don’t know if I made myself clear, but there it is.

Has anyone been to one before? What should I expect? How it went for you?

    I don’t have any diagnostics, no. I think I’m anxious sometimes, but my psychologist doesn’t think I’m more anxious than the average person. Problem is I don’t really know how to describe how I feel sometimes and what exactly is wrong.

    I deal with addiction(s) and compulsive behaviors towards them, tho.

    My GF is a psychologist and have been talking to me about it for some time and I pulled the trigger now after an episode.

    I’m not necessarily after medication and I had discarded psychiatrists before, but more recently, a few years ago maybe, I started to feel myself more open towards them and to think they could help me get through some shit.

    We’ll know tomorrow, tho. Thanks for your input :)
