Hi, Miss Laura! If you are feeling better as a result of taking a medication, then you are no fraud. Of course, that fact won't stop you
feeling like a fraud (at least that's my personal experience).
Has anyone told you anything about your appointment with the psychiatrist? Are you supposed to prepare something? I see my psychiatrist once a month, and we almost always review "meds & moods".
Here's hoping for pleasant distractions that will keep your anticipatory anxiety to a minimum!
