Dear TeaK,

Thank you for being here, I’m really grateful for hearing from you.

Yes, I have had 3 psychological evaluations since 22nd May. The first I had lasted for almost 3hours, with extensive breaks. As I was very confused, and had several breakdowns, and was struggling with brain fogs, the first evaluation was split into 3 sessions.

As I wasn’t allowed to have my phone/Computer with me, and no access to wifi, I was encouraged to write my experiences, thoughts, and feelings through journaling. As I was journaling for almost two days and put everything on the paper, I was too tired and fatigued to have a productive session.

At the moment, I haven’t got any feedback nor outcome of the evaluation. But she confirmed severe anxiety disorders with excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. She pointed out several things that I need to address, such as gerascophobia(fear of aging), Thanatophobia(fear of dying and losing a loved one), Athazagoraphobia(fear of forgetting), PTSD, codependency, and lack of self-worth.

They want to prescribe me Escitalopram(Lexapro), but due to my mental condition, and my struggle with addiction, they are reluctant to prescribe me any SSRIs/SNRIs.

I’m scheduled to go back on Wednesday, but that is too long for me. I called them yesterday, but due to COVID, they prioritize the most critical patients.
