I had my first therapy appointment in a good while today and it went well. I’m glad I’m getting back to it. My therapist is encouraging me to get re-evaluated psychologically and psychiatrically since it’s been two years since I underwent either type of evaluation. She thinks my primary diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder needs to be revised and I agree.
I’m guessing the psychological re-evaluation will mimic the last one in that it will include a personality disorder inventory (or whatever it’s called) and an IQ test (which I’m nervous about, lol; unlike last time, though, I will put serious thought into it because I am curious where I stand cognitively).
I feel bad about having bowed out of the mental healthcare system for so long – I’ve only been seeing a general care nurse practitioner for my med needs for the past year and a half or so. I’m just going to try to brush past the guilt and focus on the fact that this should be an important step in getting to where I want to be.
