I had two psych appointments Thursday. The first one was with my pdoc. She gave me a new prescription for my very frequent panic attacks. Gabitril. I just took my first dose. It's supposed to take 2 week to fully take effect, so I guess I'll have to wait and see.

My second appointment was with my therapist. We talked about what to expect from therapy. She doesn't think that it's time to work on core issues yet. She wants me to work towards getting into a safe space first, and working on the issues from there. A safe space would mean no self harming behavior (including bulimia). That's going to take a lot of effort. I'm not convinced that I can get into a space like that without working on the core issues. But, I'm willing to give her methods a try, as I've gotten nowhere on my own.

I have a strong urge to "correct" my sleep schedule. It's after 4am and I'm still awake. But I don't have a job, and have no hopes of getting one in the foreseeable future, so what should I care?
