Just thought I'd let you know how I wentat my appt with the Psych. He was a nice man but very clinical (and I felt VERY time pressured) who explained that I was there for an "opinion" as to what medications I should be on and for an opinion about the diagnosis I have been given. He asked lots and lots of questions......I was very nervous and found it hard to concentrate and answer so he ended up the session by asking if it was ok with my hubby if he could write out what he thought I was like when I was high and/or low, how I acted and how long this lasted for.....so I went home and asked hubby and later that night we sat and talked (probably for the first time ever) about his perceptions about me....it certainly was confronting yet it was good know in a way. I have no doubt I've put him through hell and I'm really sad about that.
Prior to this I literally threatened to stop seeing anyone doctors anymore and stop my med's unless my hubby FINALLY went to see my psychologist who I know and feel alot more comfortable with. He is seeing him tonight primarly to discuss why he is against me dropping my working days. Should be interesting....I'll keep you all posted
PS - I'm completely exhausted and drained after all this...!
