I made two so it wouldn't get confusing!

I saw my psyd today and it was so helpful. We talked about work and it felt
Good to get it out. He was really encouraging.

Also I shared with him some of the experiences I have had with psychotic symptoms when I wasn't manic or depressed. He said he was happy he knew that so we can watch for that in the future. I told him my last DBT therapist told me I needed to just learn to cope with the hallucinations and paranoia. He said he does t believe that. He thinks those types of things need medicating to prevent worse symptoms from occurring. We both agree my meds are really helping at the current dosage and hopefully I'll be ok for a while now.

It felt nice to be validated for how it feels having those experiences. My old t (from years ago when this stuff started) did not validate that. She blew it off. I had forgotten about alot of this till I started Reflecting after his schizoaffective diagnosis for me. It seems to make more and more sense.

I guess it doesn't really make things any worse or better so I
Shouldn't let it bother me.'
