I've seen my psychiatrist twice now (still undiagnosed) and I know I shouldn't make a judgement since I've only been there twice but, I feel like the advice my psychiatrist is giving me doesn't help that much. I was talking about how I get paranoid about people 'out to get me' and wanting to hurt me etc.. and she kept saying "Well you know it's not real, right?" which is true, but even though I know that it isn't true I can't stop believing these things. I've been getting more and more depressed and have thought of ending it just because I can't be stuffed anymore. I just need answers as to what's wrong with me and what's going on. I can't simply 'shake' these feelings off - well not for long at least. I'm just getting so stressed. Although venting my feelings help, as soon as I exit that building, everything collapses.
Thanks for this!

Please tell her exactly what you wrote here. It should help her help you. If it doesn't, you'll have better grounds to judge whether she's right for you or not. I'm hope things smooth out soon.

Two meetings does seem a bit quick, for a diagnosis, imo. Takes time, to access a patient, is my impression. Took about four months, approximately 3-4 sessions before I was prescribed anything. Which, i feel, a dx is necessary before insurance covers a med. Diagnosis can always be adjusted, as time progresses.

Does your pdoc communicate with your t? That helps, sometimes.
