Fortnightly Professional Visit Update

So I'm now seeing Dr.Eyears (psychiatrist) and Dr.Underwood (clinical psychologist) on a regular basis, every fortnight, and extra session if needed.

Dr.Eyears Update
It has come to a conclusion that Seroquel wasn't suitable for me. New approach and new medication this time. It's a medication for ADHD called Strattera, hope it'll finally work out.
Dr.Eyears was a bit scared of me when he first saw me as I was acting weird, playing with the puppets in his room and refused to give it back. He has come to a conclusion that I was only doing that because of extremely high level of anxiety. Now I can feel that he's much more comfortable with me. He might not be the best psychiatrist in the world, but I can feel that he's trying his best to do the best for me, and I'm very happy for that. I can feel that he cares about me as a patient and he cares about my future.

Dr.Underwood's Update
Dr.Underwood and I spend most of the session talking about my anxiety at uni. My days at uni for the past one week has not been good. Dr.Underwood talked to me about coping mechanism, and I'm about to test it out from now no, hope it works. Dr.Underwood also asked me to see him again tomorrow. I went back to uni and tried the strategies Dr.Underwood taught me and had a much better uni day than before :)

It's raining again. This is Kumo's second time in his life seeing rain. Last time he was terrified. This time he walked to the balcony and taste, smell and feel the rain. He came back into the house with wet foot, but I didn't mind. Now he knows what rain is :)

  1. Feeling blessed that I discovered the Ink for All content tool. I love the advanced Accessibility Features, my favorite is definitely the option to collapse the tips on spelling, grammar... so you can focus http://bit.ly/2DWi1K9
