Using Anon name for Psychiatrist Appnt.?

[af_mil]

Hi,

I am under contractual orders not to disclose information that I am finding very difficult to seek help with.

It has affected my serious relationship and broken up a happy family due to Professional breach of conduct whereby my Private information was disclosed and used against me.

I have been lucky to have the support of a Federal Court Magistrate, but I cannot trust the Psychiatric/Psychology board using my name because my superiors also work in these fields and know of me, yes it is a Defence institution.

Is it possible to request or use an Annonomous name so that I can freely talk to a Psychiatrist for Personal help?

Thank you, this is a serious concern.

Thank you Sherie,

I feel like saying sorry for my introversion and I know it will help me to be a bit more expressive/emotive (my sister tells me this often, and we decided it's better to hug then to argue).

I may return to support others when I am in a better frame of mind.

It's great that you have done CBT, Exposure Therapy, & EMDR. I am supportive of people helping themselves.

I want you to know, and this is the truth, I did feel better to have read your initial response which allowed me to think clearly.

Let me know what you are finding is helpful in your situation? as I realise WE can be there for each other.

Thanks

Hi Mark. I wasnt expecting to hear from you again. Especially after I got from you yesterday what I'd consider to be a bit of a 'dressing down'. So I'm a bit confused as to why you have responded today?

If it is to apologise for being an introvert - please dont! If it is because you thought your words to me yesterday were perhaps a little harsh - again, no apology necessary. I was a little hurt initially as I can be a little sensitive about such things, but I got over it and I'm fine.

Anyway you have answered my query of yesterday in that you do have family support - I'm really pleased that you have a caring sister. I'm also happy that my response to you has somehow allowed you to think clearly.

I'm sorry I could not have been more helpful to you af.mil. However, now that you have decided to see a psychiatrist you can trust I'm sure this will allow you to get back on track. I certainly hope so.

You have suggested I let you know what I have found helpful in my own situation. Well I cant do this on your thread, as the moderators like us to stay 'on topic'. And this thread is about you, not me. I'd be reluctant to anyway because your motivation in asking is a little unclear. Regardless, right now I think you need to concentrate on yourself for a change.

When I first came onto these Forums 5 months ago, it was at the suggestion of my psych. She thought it would be a good way for me to learn to 'open up' a bit. If you do have a genuine interest you can always read some of my Threads and reply to any of them. I have a couple in the Trauma and Chronic Illness Section, dating back to late November. The most recent though is "Coping with the Anniversary of a Traumatic Event". It is ongoing, but I warn you its long! ( - :

Anytime you wish to 'talk' please know that I am here and happy to converse. Otherwise, please come back when you feel in a better frame of mind. Get yourself right first.

I hope you are having a good weekend. Will you be doing the Anzac Day thing? My hubby is ex Military, so its a big thing to him.

Please take care.

Sherie
