I have new information about my possible diagnosis (Dysthymic Disorder) but every time I come to him with ideas, he brushes them aside like nothing. Why is that? I've been psychotic before apparently (even when I could make those voices stop and the delusions stop at certain points) and haven't been psychotic in over a year. We are decreasing my Geodon and nothing has happened. I still get anxious about this and that, but that is hardly psychosis. Gosh, what a mess...

I see him tomorrow. Any suggestions on how we could discuss this would be greatly appreciated. He really is a kind individual and listens to me usually. I just need the phrasing of how to do it. I haven't spoken of diagnosis ever since I went on that awful tirade about psychotic major depressive disorder. Sure, I may have had at least one, but that was after a year of mild to moderate depression. Dysthymia sounds like it with some minor psychosis caused by a worsening in mood. That doesn't sound so inconceivable does it? Does it...?
