I'm a little cautious because just a couple months ago I was manic with no insight and I don't want that to happen again. So here I am.

My therapist last week said I seemed paranoid because I expressed I wanted to break up with my bf. I was worried he had planted something to listen in on me. I'm still worried about it but I haven't talked to him at all and I don't plan on it. She said I clearly needed a med change because all of a sudden I was on a bunch of downers (my use of alcohol, opiates, and weed spiralled over the past week) that I said I needed to slow myself down, although I don't believe myself to be manic. My sleep's been fine (with the help of thorazine and melatonin) and my thoughts don't feel super chaotic but maybe that's the PRN and the downers speaking.

I don't have another appointment with her until next week and I don't have an appointment with my NP scheduled yet so no one to really help me out here to figure out if I need a med change or just need to work on the addiction stuff (which I am doing).

Are my therapist's concerns accurate or is she just trying to hand off her job to my NP?
