Ok, first I am going to give a little background on my shrink. I went to a woman and she was my shrink since I first started getting help. Then she didn't take my insurance anymore. Now I go to a man. He was great, even better than the first (who I never really liked). I have been to him three times. The third time changed my first two impressions of him. He twisted everything I was saying and didn't understand me. Plus since he hasn't been with me since the beginning he doesn't know how far I have come. He sees what I have yet to conquer. It kind of hurts me. He sees what I have left but he just doesn't seem to realize how much I have been through. He has just told me that it seems like I am not where I should be because I still have a lot of fears. I don't go anywhere by myself. Part of that is I am not old enough to drive but the other part is that I am so uncomfortable doing it by myself. I don't like going up to the registers. I am scared answering the phone sometimes. Now that I am getting older I am faced with driving tests, GED tests, getting a job, and growing up. I am so scared that I can't do it. Anyway, my shrink is making me decide if I should change medication. On one hand it could be better. I could feel better and be able to do more on my own as I get older. But what if it doesn't work. Then I will start to get my symptoms back. I am so scared of that. And if that happens then I go back to my old medication. I need your advice on what to do. Would you switch? Try and see if it worked even though you could go down hill? I don't know what to do.

Sorry for this being so long. Thanks in advance for any advice. :)

Chrysta you are further along than I am and I'm 18 so don't beat yourself up or let anyone else beat you up emotionally.

I don't take any drugs so I can't give advice.
