In my appointments I'm talkative but it does feel like a show.
Like I'm acting in a play.
But even if you do tell them what's been bothering you RXQueen what are they going to do about it. Don't beat yourself up. You know the drill. Maybe a med change. Or they suggest deep breathing or going for a walk.
For some hearing it from a Dr makes it like an Authority figure.
For me, I don't like doing what I'm told.
In my support group many do what you're thinking. They jot down some notes,so they don't get stage fright.
If you need different meds it will be important to try to communicate what's going on.
My last 3 pdocs have just left it up to me anyway. Tney say, what would you like to try?
Last med I didn't like was Latuda. So I'm on my own hunt for a different med.
