I've been seeing this psychiatrist for more than six years now.
Six years ago, when I had a job contract, I would have anxiety attacks in the couple of days before. The morning of the day I worked with those who hires me, I'd spend vomiting before I left the house, not having slept but very little the night before.
FInally, I had to quit working. I couldn't stand the sickness, the pain, the hurt.
Everyone around me seemed hostile, I was afraid of everything, afraid of practicing my trade, angry, so angry at the world, and I hated myself.
After these years of therapy with this psychiatrist, I can work. I work well, and happily. I understand about people now, and can go throughthe world with a lot of kindess instead of hosility. And I feel so much better.
Today I saw him, and we talked like two normal people. I told him about the things that are confounding me still, and we talked, and again, I felt understood, and gained some insight into some of the things I am still struggling with.
I don't know if I would have chosen to live this long if I had not had the benefit of this fine therapist.
