Well, I finally found myself a local clinical psychologist and made an appointment for the 6th.
I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while now. My insurance covers it. Every time I’ve tried previously I couldn’t find anyone who was actually taking new patients.
Not sure what I will talk about. When I am not doing well, there’s all sorts of stuff I can bring up.
But now that my voices are almost gone and I’m feeling better, I think I’ll be at a loss for words.
We shall see.
Anyone know more about this kind of thing?

I tried but with no success.
I found a beautiful attractive psychologist and i meet her 2 or 3 times. No coping skills about delusions, no help whatsoever. She was only asking about my friends

Well don’t worry about the first appointment. You will spend it giving a history. And then you most likely will discuss what type of therapy they give and what suits you situation best and plan your sessions. So after your first visit you should have an idea of what you’re going to be working on a what you’re going to be talking about loosely.
I think it’s great you’re doing this, therapy is so helpful when you’re ready to put some work into it. It can give you tools for coping, skills for dealing, closure for the past, clarity for the present situation. It’s great. I wish you the best.

I quit it last year but reengaged a few months ago.
It doesn’t matter if you’re doing well symptom wise.
They will find out from you what is not ‘normal’ and should help you get a quality of life that’s better than what you have now.
If anything it’s better to do it when you feel better, as they can make you stronger when or if things do go wrong for you in future

The last time I tried therapy I got a full woman who made me feel like a moron. This new one sees my intelligence and encourages me to write and even has a lot of belief in this being possession vs. schizophrenia but anyway. Good for you for finally getting more help. Finding a good doctor who listens is important

Good for you, once you find a good psychologist and see them on a regular basis, you’re on a good path to recovery.
Just dont lie to them and be honest about your past and present.
It always helps.
P.S; ask them what are some good books to read, psychologists are the biggest book worms.
