I'm getting things together for my pdoc appt and found my discharge slips from all 3 hospitalizations. First one (May 2007)diagnosed me with with PTSD which makes sense. Second one (April 2009)deferred diagnosis but noted something about cycling mood disorder. The third one (May 2009) put MDD, recurring severe.
I'm wondering what caused the second dr to put that note on my discharge slip. Did he know something that my other mental health workers didn't pick up on? I'm taking my discharge slips with me when I go and keeping all my paperwork (new patient packet) together and with me (in case there's a cancellation). But it's got me thinking and that cues snow ball thoughts that aren't necessarily good thoughts. Why didn't anyone else notice? Could that person have been right? Then that cues me thinking about my parents (which isn't a good topic). My mother recently told that there was always something wrong with me. But she never took me to get help, neglect much? Anyway dad always said it was some different mental illness (schizoid, schizophrenic, etc.) Sorry about this. Kindda got off topic but thats how my head is right now.
Now I'm trying to focus but it's hard. I'm hearing things again but they aren't bad other than the annoying and loud sounds. Blah...
