Just remember you are where you are emotionally & psychologically & there is NOTHING WRONG OR BAD about that. It is just a fact. It is like my blood sugar is running too high so the doc is getting more aggressive right now. You have NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR. You are just someone who needs some medical help right now & you are getting it & sometimes it is scary (I'm scared) & sometimes it hurts, but you are also fully capable in deciding if the doc is helping you or not. You need to see someone that you are comfortable with--that you can say "I'm not sure if what I just said is true." I've done that many times. So many things go on in my head; I'm not sure if they actually happened sometimes or not. Or if I'm exaggerating to get attention or trying to manipulate.
If the doc or therapist is not a good "fit" for you or doesn't seem to be helpful, express your concerns & ideas about what YOU think would be helpful. You know youself & your condition the best. Sometimes "lying" is just being confused. Psych meds, anxiety, fear--so many things can make me confused.
I remember one pdoc giving me one of those diagnositic tests that you fill out & after scoring it he said he had never had anyone come out with a score like mine!! So either he was saying he had never met anyone as crazy as I was or I was lying. I didn't return. I was nervous & got confused when taking the test so I got to the point where I didn't know what I thought anymore.
Don't apologize for being who you are & where you are in your development. It is just a fact & the future holds great promise for you.--Suzy
