So, what I learned is, if you complain about bad treatment from people, you get a cocktail of meds. 
Since the pandemic, and the new meds, I am more depressed and anxious. I called him. He upped the meds. More complaints, more meds.
If there’s a take away lesson I’m aiming for it’s to shut my mouth and stop talking about the bad treatment from other people.
I agree, don’t be around people who treat you badly, even when they are your family. For my mental health, I need to find something else to do and distance myself.
I, too, also have people who are close and treat me well, as I do them. The simple truth of the matter is some people are nice and some aren’t. Stick to the nice ones. I treat everybody as though they are nice, until they prove me otherwise. |
Tisha, apart from the politicians who seems to catch a virus as soon as they get a responsibility charge, I don’t use to complain about people. Only do it when I feel myself insulted or see something that can affect a third person. Thus, when I have a thing with someone or the behaviour of a person, I wonder why, why it does trigger me so much.
Your psychiatrist pretty much does what psychiatrists here do, too.
But, I would attend to another if you feel you are not gonna trust him or get along with him. I always felt very uncomfortable with those psychiatrists I went and show himself cold as ice. Only trusting meds, don’t say a word about what the meds I am being prescribed are for. Nothing about the diagnosis. At least a “it’s still soon to say it, I need more time”.
Surely, you’re psychiatrist is a good doctor but if you don’t feel comfortable with him is better to attend to another. It’s important that the patience is at least, considered as an adult person, the one you give the information they need.
