around my mental health worker. She’s very nice but she can be over dramatic when I tell her things. That makes me nervous. The problem is i only get to see my pdoc every 4 to 6 weeks and he’s out of town til the end of Oct.
I really wish I didn’t need to have a mental health worker. I’m tired

I feel like I have to act normal with everyone. I’m constantly wondering “how did I do?” after an interaction. It’s a bit sucky for sure.

Yeah, some mh workers flip out pretty easily, especially the younger ones: <45 They want to send you to the hospital for nothing.

When I was younger (under 45), I wanted to send myself to the hospital over nothing. And I did. All the time. Well, it wasn’t really nothing. I was suicidal and paranoid. But, even so, I could have used or tried to use more coping skills.
Today, I have so many good coping skills in place and so many darn good meds on board that there is no need to go to the hospital.

Seems like these people do more damage then good. I would be afraid to tell them anything.

I was wondering if you have to work with her? Can you get a different one?
It’s a long process to get one. I’m really trying to lessen the amount I see her
When it comes to talking to others about our problems and issues they see themselves as having none. No one and I mean no one is as perfect and as stable in all aspects as they like others to think. And they especially like to push this perspective onto people that have issues like ours.
This creates a bottling of our emotions and thoughts and leads to more chaos for us. Because we begin to feel trapped and judged .
Its freaking hard to stop caring so much about how others see you and think of you but stressing it pushes all ththe negativity and craziness inside out in the open.

I’m sorry you have to go through this. Sounds like the type of person I would try to avoid.
