She sees her psychiatrist once every three months, but when she went in January she wouldn't let me go with.
I'd be shocked if she had let you. If I were seeing a psych, I'd never want my h there. Yikes...that would hinder my progress b/c I'd be inhibited and would Not share things with my doctor
plus I'd worry about my h judging me, [color:#000000]
or trying to manipulate me. [/color]
I have went to all doctors appts., dentist and psychiatristic appointments for the last seven yrs. She wanted me there to prevent her from obtaining prescriptions for opiates from the dentist or doctor. She wanted me with her for all of her pyschiatrist appts. to have support and also to explain how I felt she was doing. With severe PTSD and Depression I had to help with communicating to the Dr. If she wanted a private conversation with the Dr. I certainly did not have a problem. A "triangle" relationship with the patient, family member and Dr. are much needed is some cases. It is not done to manipulate the patient or hinder their progress, instead it is done to keep them honest with the Dr. and give them the best care possible.
Monday I am asking the Dr. to adjust my depression med. up a little bit.(My psychologist suggested an adjustment) Most of the time I'm not emotional, but it hits me "out of the blue".
Also going to join the gym where my brother works out this week.

Today I recieved a call from an old classmate, she is coming to pick me up on Saturday night to go for a couple drinks and catch up. She is the youngest of several sisters and I dated her niece after we graduated high school.
Second day of taking Abilify, no noticeable change yet.
Did our income taxes today, thankfully only a small amount owed to Uncle Sam.

Hey JB....remember Alcohol is a depresant. Which how much you have especially while taking meds. When lives become codependent it is a big adjustment to begin untangling the web. Now is the time to focus on you and what you want in your life. Get to know yourself and be a friend to you : )

Accept what is...let go of what was and have faith in what will be.
I will be very careful, I might have one drink or just go "virgin".
We were good friends so it's more about catching up than going out to party.
My Abilify is working today, no bouts of sadness or crying and I'm thinking clearly.
I know I didn't cause this, I can't fix this or control the S. Today when I looked in the mirror I thought to myself, I am somebody and actually thought to myself I might be relieved if I don't have to care for her.

I've been pretty busy GALing. This last weekend I met up with about 20 friends from my hometown in ND. Now I'm traveling to see a cousin and a brother in the western part of ND.
STBX told her best friend she wants to be "friends with benefits" with me! She didn't tell me but did ask me to cook indian food for her when I get back to Texas. She also wants to take me to a mexican restaurant, so "i know where to eat good mexican food."
She moved into an apartment 5-10 minute away from the house.
