Yesterday, I went to Broadlawns to see a Nurse Practitioner, in hopes of eventually getting in to see a therapist. And I needed refills that were running out and was hoping to get someone who would give me different drugs than the one Ive been on for three years or more and don't do much for me. My main issue right now is my anxiety, social especially. Also, my agoraphobia gradually getting worse scares me cause I've gotten really bad with it in the past, and its not pleasant. Well, anyway, I saw this guy and the first plus was, he spoke real english, not with a major Indian?(I think) accent, like the last one I saw. Really annoying. He actually asked a lot of questions about my history of mental illness and family history, and all relevant questions too. He even suggested therapy, which is what I wanted in the first place, but the other guy wouldn't set me up with it. He's even giving me blood tests, because he heard of some ill effects of one of the meds I've been on, just to make sure that its not causing issues. I also got put on a new anti-anxiety pill called Clonazepam, which common brand name is Klonopin, never heard of either but he explained the side effects which for the most part might turn me into a Zombie, but I'm supposed to call him if it does. He really seems to care. I told him I've been smoking pot pretty much daily for the past three months or so, to help with anxiety and depression, and he didn't give me shit about it or tell me to stop. He actually looked like he understood. He also set me up with a therapist who I'll see this Fri. and I see him again in a month. I have to go in Mon. morning before I eat anything for blood tests. I actually feel a little less hopeless, and will probably actually make it to all my appointments now that I know someone is competent enough to understand my problems, and not brush it off as normal stress crap. But my life isn't that stressful other than my mental issues.
