Depression has spurted up again and along with it my psychotic symptoms. Those arent too bad yet unless im really upset but I know myself and I know that when I start to go downhill I go fast. I was supposed to message my doc yesterday or the day before but never did. I dont know what to say. I don’t like talking about what’s happening. It’s hard to just put it bluntly because I don’t understand all of it. How do you explain not well to a well person? Plus I have a habit of downplaying things and wording it so it doesn’t seem so bad but I don’t want them to brush me off and basically say its just a phase.

The doctor that I will be talking to I haven’t seen before. My previous pdoc I haven’t seen in years and they specialize in adolescent/child mental illness. And I’m all grown up now.

Well you should definitly see your doc sooner than later. I would just try to tell as honest as possible how you are doing. That’s the best way to get the help you need.

A new doctor isn’t necessarily bad. I changed doctors some years back and I am very happy with my new doctor, while my previous doctor was failing me.

I hope you see your new doctor soon, and good luck

The only way for them to help you is if you’re completely honest. If they don’t have a clear picture of what’s really happening, they won’t be able to treat you appropriately
