I did.
He was cool and supportive of it. I told him I have pretty much shut down social media, Tv, Radio, Newspapers…etc…and that I only exclusively visit this mental health forum.
He has no issues with that at all. And any time I’ve ever gone off the deep end, he has supported me fully with the insurance company…filled out all of my forms for free…and gave me lengthy time off of work to recover.
He really is a wonderful psychiatrist.
Yes, I openly and often tell my psychiatrist and social worker that I enjoy this community. I use Facebook very little if at all. I could never figure it out. Also I don’t have many contacts.
I rarely see my psychiatrist, only as needed. But I told my therapist who I see once a week that I visit this website. She doesn’t seem to think anything about it.
My old support worker (not the current one) said he had a look one day - but didnt particulary perturb me - cos what i post here, i would have told him if he asked anyway.
Mine said it makes me lazy.
Wow. You have a great pdoc! Mine doesn’t understand what I’m going through but she’s really nice to me. I told her about this site and she likes it
My psychiatrist thinks it’s a good idea, my therapist is not as supportive.
I did not give them details.
I’ve mentioned it to my pdoc and probably my therapist as well but they didn’t really say much about it other than agreeing with me that i was getting support and that’s good.
I’ve talked about it to therapists and Pdoc’s. Once I explain it they are very supportive. Have agree’d with me that this is a healthy safe space.
I’ve told my pdoc and therapist.
Both were supportive.
I told my psychiatrist about everything I learned about my illness here. She has been my same doctor since my diagnosis and never explained to me what the negative symptoms of SZ are nor did she diagnose me with any of them
Hmm.
I Asked My Doctor Long Ago If She Knew Of Any Forums I Could Visit.
She Gave Me A Sheet Of Paper. (Someone Stole It).
N e Hoo.
Thus Was The Site She Told Me About.
She’s Been My Doctor Since I First Got Into The Clinic I’ve Been Apart Of For Many Years.
Hmm…,
Still Can’t Make The Connection.
Doctor, Patient, Forum, Silence, Side Affects, Money, Nothing, Everything?.
What Does It All Mean?.

Yes,I told her,she was interested in what I posted to see if I have delusions but I don’t think she had time to read the forum
My psydoc is a bit dubious but does a private mental hospital as well as a private practice. He also has a family and all so his time online is pretty limited one feels and thus his attitude.
My old therapist had a problem with it idk why but I’m not seeing him anymore instead I meet my new one on the 9th, as for my nurse… She don’t know and honestly don’t care
Nobody knows that I come on here. Some ppl I’ve known have been suspicious of what I’m doing on my phone so much lol. Including some family members. I like keeping this forum a private haven to vent and stuff.
Nobody knows I post here. I’m incognito!
I told my psychiatrist. She thought it was a positive thing that I communicate with peers.
I didn’t tell anyone. I dunno if I will disclose it in the future but so far I didn’t feel the need to tell it to anyone. Usually people are wary of me when I use the internet cause I had like messages coming to me over the internet.
I remember in last psych ward they shut down one site on their network so that I wouldn’t go there anymore for getting messages.
