Sometimes people have lapse in attention and miss what is being said.
Othertimes, they hear, they just continue on because “they know best”. They may not argue a point with you, but instead just do what they wanted to do.
I just got back from my apt with psychiatrist, and he said I looked fine, but I still feel a little unhinged from reality. I think he just wanted me out of his office. I mean I’m not seeing things right now, but my paranoia is always lurking up on me. I guess he thinks I’m fine for now. I hope you get to feeling better soon, Smokes. Everything will be ok. If you ever need support, just pm me.
I asked around and yeah, apparently this guy has a reputation for slapping ‘anxiety’ on people’s files and calling it a day. I do have other options, and I guess I’ll be exploring those now. I was just really hopeful that something positive would come of this appointment. I’m sorry that you had a similar experience, too
Oh no… is there another psychiatrist you can go to? The one I go to is the closest I have, so I’m kinda stuck with him. I just really don’t like him tho.
At the time I got the referral I didn’t have a GP, so he was just a government psychiatrist. Like, not to knock our system of socialised medicine, but it could use some TLC in terms of more funding, I’m sure.
But I have a family doctor now, so I think maybe I’m going to coordinate between him and my psychologist? It’ll be a slower process but at least it’s something.
Four years of perphenazine made miserable.meds wise I have taken more than it should have. That moment of uncertainty about your life hopefully its just a passing through the damn aps ads.
I’m cutting out caffeine, I think it’s been mucking with my sleep. I’ve been forcing myself to be social. Melatonin + white noise has helped me crash at night, great advice guys
I’m feeling good today, been feeling better over the last couple days, but I know it’s only temporary. There is a feeling in my gut like something bad is going to happen. I’m debating cancelling my psychologist appointment. There just doesn’t feel like there’s any point. I know she’s not going to believe me either. I don’t know what I believe either, anymore.
I’m just really tired. I feel like I’m getting worse, quickly. I miss being positive and bubbly
