Today on my lunch hour I went to my psychiatrist appt..
I've missed our last three appointments (sick and then I forgot and blah blah blah) and frankly I was running low on Adderall, and our appointments are often amusing to the point of being a Monty Python skit..
I dont know what other people talk about with their psychiatrists, because frankly many people are very spooked by the whole mental health issue...but it turned out to be NOTHING like it is on television..no fainting sofa for me to recline on, in fact I sit in an old leather chair with the stuffing leaking out of it...(I think she picked it up at a thrift store) at a round table that has a Sigmund Freud bobble head on it...and big bowl of hard candylll
She spent half the appointment talking about her (her mother recently died, and she isnt getting along with her sister, who took her mothers cats..ect ect) and the other half talking about how wonderful I am...which while fabulous for my self esteem, makes me wonder if I should be more concerned that we dont delve deeper into my psyche..
Somtimes we talk about shopping...
Is it bad that I think my shrink may be nutters?
Or is she just so brilliant I dont realize she's helping me...
Anyway, I always feel shiny after leaving (new Adderall script in hand)
still, I wonder....

Dunno..sounds a bit boomkis to me...then again I am wonderful and in no need of sychiatric evaluation (ha...yeah...OK...)
Don't know about brilliant, but she seems to understand that sometimes you just need to talk, that's all, just chat away for a bit. I chat with my running buddies, nothing better than getting in shape both in mind and body..although I'm short a running buddy at the moment, might explain a lot;)
She ate her lunch yesterday during my appt..
she also gives me random samples of cleaning products..not that I mind..but it just seems weird to be getting a ziploc baggie of clorox wipes from my shrink...
When I worked with Mentally Ill adults...the craziest one there was the boss...AND she had one eye...and a patch :/
