I do think things were kind of rushed. Because of my episodes are getting harder and harder to live with I had to get prescribed something and in here for you to be prescribed something "heavy duty" you need a referral to a special psychiatrist and your gp and you need a diagnosis. So I guess I just got a diagnosis that is closer to me.. but not really it. Also this is the only medicine I can take because I am under age (Abilify I think it was called, not completely sure though) .
I also am worried because I cannot start taking the med this month because I have to go to Italy for a choir tour and they cannot monitor me that way. So basically I was given a ticket to getting my life controlled! How I am going to live off that month? I don't know.. but I guess I have to!
Also update on my crazy psychologist, she just told me that my DID is all in my head (duh..) and that I imagine to have other people around me because I am lonely, and that I need to tune them out.. does she even realize that if I do do something to "tune them out" I will basically be an empty shell and I will fall into a deep depression? Also she completely ignore me having a complete meltdown because a voice wouldn't stop yelling at me for being worthless, and that I continue saying that there is a hanging man on a tree that was screaming for help.. She continue talking about DID even after I asked her to stop because she is not helping and DID is not my damn problem. -Scar
And the whole part of the crazy Russian church woman (as we called her) is that she keeps reminding Scar that if it is not for us he is alone and cannot function on his own. Which knowing Scar's meltdown last night, definitely does not help.. not one bit. Do you know what it's like having anger issues and hearing someone telling you that you are not there and you are just part of someone's imagination (which keep in mind the original is not even here anymore so yeah..) and you cannot do anything because the psych ward is right outside and they cannot just lock one of us in? Ahhh #Multiple Problems.. -Waidth

I wonder if you can monitor your own meds while traveling in italy. i know many teens aged 15-17 that are able to travel with medication to other countries as long as the medication is in its original containers marked clearly who the medication is for, dosage and prescribing doctor. in fact when one of the churches here traveled to Italy\rome to see the pope there was many teens on all kinds of medications. they had no problems entering Italy's airports. and while there the teens on meds monitored their self (they took their meds on time and carried their own meds in their own luggage....and all that entailed taking care of their own medicine and medicinal needs) they started on the meds before leaving so that their own treatment providers could have follow up appointments before they left to make sure there was no problems with taking that medication.
my point maybe if you start your meds now it will calm things down a bit on the psychotic problems. and your doctors can have a follow up appointment for you before you have to leave. they can write out a schedule of when you need to take the meds and give you a statement to carry along with you while you are in italy showing medical \mental need for it. then you wont need anyone else to monitor your meds while in Italy, other than a teacher checking in with you to make sure you took the meds on time.
