Not Coping

Well he was only going to call me on Thursday to talk about today but I feel like I need to talk in person about it because it’s a bit of a bigger thing then I was thinking. Do you think it would be okay if I contacted him to see if he can see me instead of just calling me? I just don’t want to like bother him or something.

Yes I went on my own. @Captain24

Yeah I’m really confused with what to thinkI just thought I just had depression and social anxiety. @Shaz51

It is @Shaz51. Every time I go to the

psychiatrist my meds change!

Its not an exact science so it’s only their opinion with how you present and what questions they ask. @Birdofparadise8

Mmm I guess oh well I’ll see if I can see my psych and go through it with him. @Captain24

Of course you can call him! @Birdofparadise8. He would want to be able to put your mind at ease.
My MH nurse comes to all my psychiatrist appointments. I find that having her makes it a little easier.

Sounds good @Birdofparadise8 xx

Yeah I think I will. @Shaz51 @Captain24

Do you think it is good having someone with you at the appointment?

I don’t really have anyone to go with as I don’t want to discuss my SH and SI with my parents they don’t know and wouldn’t understand.

Also how did you get a MH nurse, is that a good support person to have?

My nurse is fantastic. I can email her at anytime. During business hrs I can call and if she thinks I need to see her it’s usually the same day.

When I first went to the gp in a suicidal state she put me onto the community mental health team at the hospital. That’s where I got the nurse and she is the one who organises the psychiatrist appointments and sits in and them helps me to digest afterwards.

Ok that sounds interesting I wonder if that is something I should look into. @Captain24

Ohh @Captain24 that is wonderful having that support, sounds soo good👍
