Why no pdoc and EIP team after February?

I don't know about seeing the psychologist - I don't want to put her in danger.

Is this the same psychologist you like so much? If so, I think you should definitely see her if you can. You know you can trust her.

If the meds can help me eventually get to uni - it will be worth it, I just wish people wouldn't go on like it's so amazing.

Me too. When I was interviewing my son's new pdoc before I decided to take my son to him, one of the first things he said was the medications are oversold. I loved that he wasn't
against the meds, but he also didn't think they were the whole answer - or even the most important part of the answer. When he said that, I knew he would be a great pdoc. I don't trust people who say that the drugs are the most important thing, but I also don't trust people who say the drugs are totally evil and no one should ever take them.
The middle path is usually best, IMO. If we're honest about the medications - their usefulness and their limitations - we can use them as tools in the most effective way possible.

That's why I think you should ask someone to help you. If you have someone hand you the medication every time you're supposed to take it, then they can remind you that you intended to give it a real chance this time. But it can't be someone who's really controlling or coercive. It has to be a collaborator, someone you trust.
