Saw my pdoc today all is ok

My appointment went well. Hubby came in with me. Her office was so cosy that I relaxed and spoke openly. Told her of my symptoms still having and anxiety and phobias. She said the anxiety and phobias are separate from sz but overlap with it.

When I told her my mom said crazy thing about me being sz bcuz of me not accepting Jesus and being Muslim she said it’s definitely not the case, asked if my mom was a fundamentalist and I smiled and said yes lol!

She also dismissed my psychologist remark that my belief that my mother in law is trying to poison me is normal. She said it’s not and I was so glad. At least I’m not fake!

She decided to keep my dosage of meds as is. She thought to raise it a bit until I told her those little bit of symptoms help me to feel real and not fake and help me to keep taking meds. I said if my symptoms go away entirely I would probably want to go off meds. I think she’s really nice. She listens to me and considers my views. She also said my diagnosis remains sz.

All in all a good visit :slight_smile:
