I posted in the psychotherapy thread but thought I would ask here too... hope it's okay. I am bipolar 2, and have been struggling a bit. In my appt with my therapist we discussed how i'm feeling and i talked about suicide. Not that it is imminent or i am in danger I have always had those thoughts for over 30 yrs, but that's how she took it... .so since seeing her i've been dealing with major anxiety. She said she wanted to admit me to a hospital and I was just baffled. Now the situation is that she wants me to go to an IOP and i've refused. I don't need it, am not suicidal. I've been to an iop years ago. I know what it entails. Anyway, Can anyone give me their opinion on how I should handle my appointment with my Psychiatrist that is coming up on Monday? I am so afraid to go because my psychologist has given me the impression that since I am not following her suggestion/request/demand?? that I go to an IOP that she may need to force me to do something. They are in the same office. How concerned should I be about just going to get my meds refilled? Can he do anything at her recommendation? I am really thinking about just canceling the appt since I have enough meds til mid Feb. Then either look for a new psychiatrist or ?? I am really really worrying... she has made my anxiety so much worse than it's been for a long time. Should I tell the psychiatrist why I am canceling? Feeling that I am being treated unfairly and just want to avoid more anxiety and paranoia about this situation. Help!
