First appt. with a new psychiatrist tomorrow

Hi everyone,
Tomorrow I have my first visit with my new psychiatrist. My (new) current insurance dictated the change in providers. My former psychiatrist managed my medication, I rarely saw her, and was not attached to her. She and I had been working together for about 5 years. She was fine, I had no complaints but no warm fuzzy feelings either.

I worry about my appt tomorrow. "Hello Dr. I am Kate. Let me tell you about all the things I dislike about myself, my vulnerabilities, insecurities and tender places.Then you can make a snap judgment of me based on how I present to you."
Defies common sense, no? Goes against all I know about first impressions and building relationships. Ugh

I am currently taking zoloft, wellnutrin, and adderall.
I wish I could say confidently this is a good combo for me but I can not. I don't want to come across as a complainer or a drug seeker. I wish I could chase my crazies out of town with medicine!!

While fretting, perhaps I should add my memory for time is mush. I can relay big markers on my personal timeline and what order things have occurred, but unless something happened recently I will likely be unable to come up with more than "a couple of years ago" as a date.

Maybe he will think I am super looney or maybe a hypochondriac as I list the diagnosis's that others doctors have obviously missed.

I would like to request a collective sending of good vibes to me so that I am a good advocate for myself tomorrow.

Thanks,
Kate

(((( Katwomen4 )))) A new psychiatrist could be a good thing. A new look from a differant angle so to speak. I wish you the best of luck.
Not sure if you can do this but it might help if your new psychiatrist had a look at your records. This might help her/him to catch up a little faster.

Trigger alert: gentle teasing ahead!

Poor pdoc! He can't do anything right, and he hasn't even met you yet!
