This week i am going to be seeing another psychiatrist for the first time at the insistence of my therapist. Basically, my therapist told me if I didn't see a psychiatrist he would not be able to work with me anymore. And that terrifies me because he is the first "professional" to ever know anything about the mpd/did and to talk to some of my alters and all that. So I have this appointment with a psychiatrist but I only said I was dealing with depression and PTSD. And my therapist had me sign a consent for him to talk to the psychiatrist and he said he is going to tell her basically everything. And I guess in a way that's ok because I wouldn't tell her everything, but it really scares me too. I keep thinking, what if she doesn't believe him? Just as scary - what if she does? I'm just kind of freaking out about the whole thing. I don't want to go on more meds, but I admit I'm not coping too well right now. I've lost 25 pounds in a little over a month and I'm not sleeping and emotionally a wreck, along with switching all the time.

Ok trying to get back on track here. Any suggestions as to how to deal with this psychiatrist? I've never met someone for the first time with them knowing all about me.

Hope this made some sense. Thank you for any advice on how to deal with this!
