So today at 2pm I’m going to see my new Pdoc . I don’t know a whole lot about her.
I suspect it’s going to be me describing my symptoms again. What I want to work on, medication history.
I’m nervous, and the voices are calling me a liar, telling me no one believes me. I’m faking it, it isn’t real, no one can help me, I’ll join them in hell. Took a PRN.
This all means I have to shower today, it’s been a few. Least I try to keep on top of brushing every day.
Questions I have involve what kind of medications they would recommend. What therapies. How can I get rid of the voices. Generally a “wtf do I do?” In more polite manners.
Any input for good questions I could ask? What are some you ask?
I just worry, because I hated being on the ward. It was not a good place for me. To be honest I don’t even tell my family or you guys about some of the darker ones.
I worry I’ll get tossed in for being a danger to myself again. But your right I need to talk about those things.
I’m just scared. And I need to overcome some of that. They already know a little. That the voices sometimes tell me to kill myself, just not how detailed they are.
How long have you been a psychiatrist? Is schizophrenia one of the disorders you regularly treat?
What are the side effects from XYZ medications? Any interactions with other meds I currently take?
What happens if initial treatment fails?
How long until I start noticing a change in my symptoms?
What other kinds of help can I get within my local community?
How can I reach you in case of emergency?
