I have to convey I'm doing better then usual and that I just starting to trust her before reading the note.
Pdoc wanted to keep my meds the same for now. She asked maybe 5 questions but my appointments are usually really fast. I blurt everything out or hand her a note if I can't talk within the first 5 min. She apologizes things have been hard makes adjustments and I leave.
The phone is difficult for me because no matter what I have my chipper/superficial conversation voice on that I use for the phone and my family. One time my husband asked how the hell my parents didn't know. I showed him how well I can hide he hugged me asked me never to do that to him again. So I have to remind myself I'm on the phone with T and she has my file. The first session was light hearted, The second was short because I didn't really want to talk/worry her. this next one is going to be intense.
I say try to write it down and blurt it out.

I have that same problem in person- I turn into this chipper "everything's-okay" person. I have to really write down my thoughts at the time and bring them along to my appointment. On the phone, I get to the point and tell her my symptoms. Seems to work better that way. In person, we just are both chipper and she comments about my hair or whatever if I've had it cut recently. She even put that in my file once, that's how I know she does that.
