I met with new Psych on Friday. MH advocate was with me and also the CPN. We established with psych that the meeting was just going to be about the medication. She had read through my notes and didn't see the need to go through everything from scratch again. So I thought it would be ok.

However, the appointment about meds, options, best way forward etc, soon turned into an intrusive questioning session which I was extremely uncomfortable with, but felt obliged to answer - it would have been hard enough if it had just been 1:1 but having the CPN and MH advocate there as well, was just excruciating.*

I felt backed into a corner, embarrassed,
ashamed, upset, powerless, manipulated.

I just never ******* learn!!
