Wan't as bad a day as I thought it might be after all. Kasey wasn't too bad in the morning, but got worse as the day progressed, although I have to say he wasn't half as bad as he normally has been - perhaps the diet and the fish oil and the brauer calm are beginning to take effect on him.
Didn't go shopping today was Linc had stuff he needed to do, so I just stayed at home until it was time to go see the Psychologist for my first visit with him.
Where do I start - the psychologist's name is John ( won't print his whole name though ) - seems like and alright sort of a bloke, I suppose. I have to say that he asked some really dumb questions of me, and he had a hard time getting his own head around my family structure and that of my children and their respective families. Took him most of the session to work that out right!
We went through a series of questions relating to stuff that has/hasn't happened to me in my past and about how I feel about those items now. At the end of it he informed me that I am definitely suffering from clinical depression and GAD (Generalised Anxiety Disorder) - but I already knew that anyway!
I just now have to learn to live with it and manage my episodes better than what I am now doing. As if I can do that just now, with one of the roots of the problem driving me up the wall on a daily basis! But learn I must, so now I am off to learn more about coping with the conditions as best I can. I have to see him again in a fortnight. My parting words to him were that I would see him in a fortnight as long as I hadn't killed anyone in the interim.
