Is it possible to get triggered by your pdoc

I feel like i act stupid and paranoid infront of her.

Im not myself i just go into this entirely new person and freak out.

I end up saying things i dont mean etc etc.

Does this ever happen to you

It happened to me yesterday. New pdoc for me. Wanted to know everything about me, as she put it, and I flipped. Told her my taxi was waiting, etc. Left the appointment unfinished.

What happened though, did you just get cold feet or what?

What actually triggered you?

She seemed to know the psychiatrist I “fired” a year ago. He judged me for “looking like a bum” and I left his service. Now, new pdoc wants his records for me. I have to sign a release.

damn man that would sure make me anxious aswell.

I hate having to retell my story to new people and if i had to get a new pdoc and go through the motion again i wouldnt want to at all.

Sorry mate, hope it goes well next time

My first psychiatrist was a dick which caused me to lose many years of recovery. I realized when looking back not knowing what a psychosis and/or depression was.
I have requested all the reports while I was under his supervision, it came in today. Gonna sue that a-hole if I find something that is not true.

Sometimes i think my pdoc deliberatly irritates me. She is very nice when i go in and then situation turns awkward and i have lost it mentally not behaviourly. I know she is gonna do it so im prepared.

One of my first psychiatrist was criminal.
He kept me on a powerful tricyclic Antidepressant for years.
This kept me in a chronic manic and psychotic state.
He also triggered me.
Good riddance.

Yes, for a while there I was getting super anxious around my last pdoc. Feeling really nervous around him and feeling like I was sweating noticeably and I felt like he could tell that I was nervous. I even resorted to taking a Klonipin 0.5 mg before my appointments with him. Then, towards the last year or so before he retired, I wasn’t getting nervous anymore. About that time, my paranoia ended too. So, it might have been associated with paranoia as well. That’s what he said anyway. I feel really comfortable around my current pdoc.
