I have my third appointment with a psychiatrist on the 17th. My last one was on the 20th January.

Recently I have started drinking a lot more, my self harm has got more consistent and I have started taking Legal highs again.

I'm getting more paranoid.

I find it incredibly hard to talk to my psych for various reasons, but at the moment I am in the right mind set to maybe tell him about some of the symptoms I've been having.

Should I bring my appointment forwards?

I think you should if you feel like it would do a lot of good. But if waiting won't harm you at all, then why not wait? It's up to you though.

I vote yes.

The thing is, I have no idea if I'd actually be able to say anything in the appointment, or whether I'd just shut down.
At the moment I can't last a night without drinking, or self harming, or taking legal highs. While I *feel* in control at the moment, I just don't want to get worse..

does anyone else no your problems, if so take them with you. I see you live in England , if NHS you may not get a new appointment they are fully booked and its not to far off. If you don't tell them anything he cannot help you.

I think you should definitely try. I don't know what the policies are The at you clinic. Mine allows you to leave a message and a brief message for the doctor and have dr call you back. If you Dr. allows this then I would also try that.

HER GP will have now put her in the hands of the hospital and his hands are tied, she could ring the mental hospital and see if they will fit her in , but she has told them nothing yet so they wont priority , she can also go to the main desk and ask for help, if she looks bad she will get it if not she will be sent away to wait for appointment. Once you are an outpatient and the know all about you then the story changes, I can ring today and be seen today if flipping out and out of control. other than that they see people all day 20 minutes at a time packed solid.
