Second I saw my Rheumatologist who helped me with my Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. He is a great guy, full of wisdom in various types of treatment.
Finally I saw my T who helped me sort through the recent rejection from my ex-husband, which i am taking quite well and the symptoms that have been plaguing me all week; hallucinations, high agitation, irritability, racing thoughts, reality not seeming right and an intense mood that can swing from happy to very dark. He calmed me down a bit and reassured me that I am not losing my mind. He gave me good tools to deal with the hallucinations and suggested I increase my Abilify dose today until i see my new pdoc tomorrow.
Nervous about seeing my new pdoc. Worried he will be a crackpot like the last few i have seen. He seemed nice last time I med him but i have lost trust. My T and i are hoping he will be able to correctly diagnose me and provide me treatment to get out of my current state. I need help as I am barely managing to keep up with my commitments. My mind is swerving all over the place. It is chaos in there. I can't concentrate for long. Writing these posts takes me forever as I get distracted and lose my train of thought.

Sorry you're struggling so much
Maybe your new pdoc will be okay. Well, at least I hope he will be. And I can't blame you for being leery of him. I would be too if I were in your situation.
Do you think you're in a mixed state? And what do you mean about correctly diagnosing? Do you think there's something you have that mental health professionals aren't seeing?
