Appointment tomorrow...I'm anxious =(

So I go see my pshycologist tomorrow, I’m going to tell him everything about the drug slip up and how I’m just feeling worse than before. I’m not much of a talker, so sometimes it’s hard for me to express myself, and tell professionals how I’m really feeling. The slip up was stupid, and I shouldn’t have used, but I was just trying to make myself feel better, because I’m tired of feeling this way. Still feeling quite suicidal, and these thoughts are driving me crazy! I’m going to also talk to him about the ect treatment and see if he will come on board with that hoping for the best tomorrow, wish me luck!

Hello, my wife takes my son to the doctor because he won’t talk to the Doc, so basically my wife tells the doctor whats going on and then he asks my son he replies yes and then he opens up. Write down what you want to tell him and give him your notes maybe that way he can start the converstion. Good luck.

I feel a special bond with you Jenn77, lol. We’re both a member of the lucky 77 club. Anyway, I hope you find it in yourself to stop drugs, it sounds like you’re really paying in spades for the slip-up. Do you see the irony here? You take drugs to feel better, but then look what they did to you. That’s the nature of drug use, they will always turn on you eventually. The idea of therapy is to have a safe, non-judgemental enviromment that you can open up in. But yes, you have to walk a tightrope sometimes on certain things to reveal. You don’t have to reveal every single embaressing thing or every secret that’s ever happened to you, but most psyschiatrists will let you talk about weird thoughts or feelings. That’s what they are trained for.

I know it’s scary, and it’s alright to be nervous. I use to have problems with opening up to therapists. But with talking to a few good ones I got to open up and I share what I am feeling.

I hope everything goes well @Jenn77

Wthe owner of the special care home I live in comes with me to my appointments because I don’t talk very much, but I will write some things down for sure!

Haha it’s all about the 7’s…and Yea your right it’s very ironic…I guess I was just trying to self medicate, but I don’t think I’ll use again. I’m fighting for ect so I know I have to be clean for that to happen
