Hi lovelies. I've struggled for over 8 years with my mental health and only seen by my dr. She has tried me with antidepressants (over 10 different types) all made my conditions, symptoms so much worse. So far I've been told I have GAD, severe depression, cptsd all by my dr, but I think I have other things going on. I am asking to be referred to a phychiatrist so I can get properly diagnosed and treated. I have no quality of life. Every day my mental health is getting worse. I'm not taking care of myself at all and feel like I'm just giving up. I'm not living, I'm just existing. I also have this overwhelming feeling I'm going to die, it terrifies me and i can't shake it off. My own mum died when she was 55 and I'm 55 in 3 months. She also struggled with many mental health issues. My drs given me no hope. I feel they don't listen. Can anyone tell me what to expect when I see a phychiatrist, did they get you on the right medication? How many appointments before you seen any improvements? Can psychiatrists arrange brain scans? I had a brain tumour in the past and a tbi about 6 months ago after a bad fall, but was too scared to go to the hospital. On my worst days I feel like I have dementia. I never have any good days sadly. Please only your positive stories. Can't handle negative right now. Thank you in advance. Going to try and sleep so will check if any replies later (((((hugs)))))
