2nd Session

I was late to my second session (very late, actually, because of an accident on the expressway), so we didn't have much time (again!) to talk.  But we went over the homework I had completed and discussed the possibility of my seeing a psychiatrist as well.  He explained that the most effective treatment for me would probably be a mixture of medication and therapy.  I asked about the side effects of the drugs, and he assured me that they're much better these days; people are not sitting around drooling on themselves anymore.  I told him I was worried about losing my creativity, as I'm a poet currently working on a novel.  He said he didn't think the meds would interfere with that.  Since I haven't been able to write in a long time anyway due to the lists, I figured it couldn't hurt to try medication.  He referred me to a psychiatrist and told me he would call ahead and discuss my case with him (I had to sign a waiver to allow him to do this).  I'll call sometime this week and make an appointment.  Before I left, he gave me more homework, this time a sheet of questions relating to "buttons and triggers."
