Well I went to see my therapist for the first time today and I have to say it was a very good experience even though I had a panic attack while there lol. Poor guy had to walk me outside before I took off running for the car. He actually stood out in the freezing snow to help me feel better. I was amazed he cared so much.
Anyway, He diagnosed me with panic disorder, OCD and agoraphobia. He was very understanding and helpful and told me he's going to help me get my disability benefits going so I can get the medical care I need. He's convinced all this anxiety/panic stemmed from the imbalance I suffer from and that now is chronic. I suspected as much but feel so much better having a dr confirm it. I'll be starting CBT next week.
He believes that once I get to an ENT and find out what is causing the imbalance that all the anxiety and panic I feel will get better over time. Since I've only suffered from anxiety/panic for three years he thinks my recovery will be very successful. What an answer to prayer.
Although the trip today has exhausted me I am very upbeat about all of this.
It's been a good day :yesyes:
