My psychiatrist REALLY wants me to do therapy or community services with a specialist at my house a bunch of times a week, mostly to recover from all of last year and idk if he still thinks I’m not doing well??
Every single time I see him the whole time he’s really pushing me to do this…
But the thing is that I don’t feel I need therapy or intensive in home services…I feel like I would have nothing to say to a therapist and it would be a waste of time and idk what to do about this?
He’s said for things like because I never leave the apartment, and also because I drink everyday in large amounts…and he’s said that if I want to live on my own I need to prove I can take care of myself. Also for managing symptoms better but I don’t feel like I’m doing bad
I have a clinician that comes over once or twice a week and I really like it most of the time and I’m going to miss it when I lose it in a couple months. I think you should give it a shot. It may surprise you. You can always back out later.
Well I’ve actually tried the in home services twice before and the most recent time I hated it, they couldn’t fit with my schedule what so ever and that bothered me a lot…
Also I’m confused why he wants me doing all this when I feel I have a handle on things now.
Do you have a minimum amount of hours you have to see ur clinician a week? Also why are you losing services?
I’ve never been open to doing groups because I don’t like speaking in front of a large group of people. Also the groups at the hospital were dumb to me so idk if it’d be like that…
So I’m going to go through this with you again. Your psychiatrist wants you to do therapy or community service with a specialist a bunch of times per week because he thinks you are not doing well from something that happened last year. And you don’t think you need the service and have nothing to say to a therapist. And the last in home service was inflexible in their schedule with you.
He says to do it for other reasons as well, but I don’t agree with him and that’s why I’m confused on what to do because I feel like I’m ok but it’s like he disagrees…
