I think giving her a note is a great way to get the conversation started and give her some insight

Good luck

She is not my therapist she is a nurse that specializes in mental health and she is part of a team called the early intervention team that is a community based public health service that works with young people. She basically just helps manage and coordinate things but also she checks how I am doing and stuff idk exactly how to explain it. I am mostly taking my meds. Still just the abilify.
Thanks for this!

It is ok to snap at her. She won't care; she is used to that and it helps her see how you are feeling. I know you don't want to, nobody ever does, but i you do it's nothing to worry about. My therapist today reminded me that I don't have to sanitize my thoughts for his benefit and he's right, yet I still do it nearly 11 years into our relationship when there is very little that has not been said at some point.

I'm glad you've done this. It sounds like you are taking good care of yourself. It will get easier. Really. Maybe not tomorrow but with time it will.

eden, are you on 10 or 15 mg of abilify?
if you are on 10mg they may want to raise it since
you are still having some psychosis.
Be honest with her about this.
