Dating Again

So as mentioned in my last post I am 'dating' again, which is what I like to call searching for a new Therapist. It reminds me of dating in so many ways- making dates then sitting down and chatting to see if you're a good match. I tried out the first new person last week and it didn't feel right. I'm going to sound so knitpicky when I say why, but it is what it is. She was nice, but she kept saying "yea" while I was talking, obsessively, in the middle of my sentences. It was quite distracting. I gave her a lot of good initial information about myself, and she seemed stumped as to what to say so she kept asking me "What else about you?" I was running out of things to say! I was really hoping for some feedback on things I had already said. I was going to give her another chance (second appt) but the more I thought about it, I really know what I like and what I don't like. I'm going to try going back to a male therapist which is what I had before, and I liked the counter balance of his personality with mine. I have made an appt with a male therapist for this Monday evening, so I'll follow up with an evaluation. In the meantime, I'm still on the same meds but I will have to do something about them pretty soon. I'll have to find a Psychiatrist or see if my primary care doctor can provide me with refills. We'll see what happens. I'm also trying acupuncture for the first time next week. I'm nervous about it but figure it's worth a shot, as a lot of people have recommended it for me. In bigger news, I finally bit the bullet and scheduled my MRI for my TMJ issues to take place in early February. I've taken a lot of initial steps to try to get myself healthier in 2014, so now it comes down to following through on everything.
