take a shower which I may not have done for a few days so to make sure I look pruned.
try to conceal bags under my eyes
eat a massive bowl of cereal so my stomach doesn’t rumble throughout the appointment even though my appetite usually sucks and my main meal is dinner.
Then I’m set to go.
I always have to wait for what I consider a long time in the waiting room for my appointment with my pdoc. Other than that, I don’t do anything special.
Had appointment today. But my psychiatrist is very good about being on time.
How did it go? I have one on Monday I hate travelling there its in an awkward location. Yea I just clean myself n that’s it really… Sometimes I prepare queries if I feel like it.
I used to chew gum sometimes before I went in, not always but occasionally if I remembered. But now I don’t have any sort of ritual since I only see my doctor once a year with a year long supply of refills
It differs a little, but one thing I do is shower, do a beard/mustache trim with a electric razor and a disposable for the other parts of my face and dress a little nicer than usual.
It went well. We discussed my care plan. How my new depo is going and the possibility of adding an anti depressant but before we add that I’m going to see if I improve a little first over time.
Discussed my symptoms too. Just general stuff. It went well. I have a nice psychiatrist.
not do anything especially, once I ran late from the studio all dirty from oil paints and excited, she noted that learning and busy and it was for the better
anyway shes cool
I’m glad u have a nice psychiatrist it makes such a difference since they are the ones treating u. It feels good to be comfortable enough to open up to them about ur situation properly so they can give as much help advice as possible.
Thank you. Yes it does make such a difference
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned.
I wait hours in my psydocs office. He’s good but in demand.
I turn up showered and smelling good. You need that in an office that is so much better these days!
I’m pretty stable these days so it’s usually a couple of minutes. I’m feeling good. He see’s I’m feeling good…then we talk about cricket for a bit where he knows I’m feeling good and being rational…then scripts…and out of there.
You do need some process and you do need to ask questions when you need too. I"m pretty stable these days so it’s an art in itself!
When I go to see my psych I try to meditate before. It helps me figure out what is eating at me.
Normally I just roll out of bed and brush my hair though.
Wash a bit and go to the toilet because before the appointment I’m always nervous, pacing around…
I dress smart and look my best cause if i dont my med dosage goes up lol
