I think I'm a failure...

Good for you! What problem are preventing you from using any of those clinics?



Most are booked for six to eight weeks. I don’t have that kind of time if I’m going back to school. I’m deciding to go back to school and hopefully at least catch late registration. Also, some places say I’m located too far. Others did not call back yet.



It sounds like you are able to be a good friend, too. Am I right about that?



If only I could hold a conversation. That and being too anxious to even do much. Otherwise, right.

Today I visited the psychiatrist I visited years before. The one I mentioned on the first post. He gave me Zoloft and Risperdal. I’m on Risperdal now, even though it’s a small dose. He made the dose small for now because of my Dad’s concern about medication. He said that I wouldn’t feel anything for a few days because of the small dose, but I think he’s kind of wrong. I felt a little dizzy at first and now I’m a little drowsy sort of numb. I’m going to take Zoloft the next morning.
Also, the psychiatrist told me not to look up anything about the medication because it might stop me from taking it. He says it’s tempting to do so, but I should not do it for now. He said he may eventually higher the dose.
