My psychiatrist wrote me a medical leave because I basically had a mental breakdown and was going to end up in the hospital if I didn't get time to decompress. So that's that and I'm relieved. I'm mildly going through benzo withdrawal, nothing like ssri withdrawal but still not the most comfortable thing. This is the first time since I was 21 or so with no medications in my body whatsoever. I'm interviewing for a new therapist, a highly trained male psychologist with psychoanalytic/psychodynamic orientation. I'm terminating with my long time therapist. Not because she hasn't helped me, but because I need something new, and for lots of other reasons I don't feel like getting into. I'm putting off CBT for awhile until I am in a better place to put in all the hard work that goes with it.
I haven't showered in days and I like it. ;)
