If it's even reasonably good, I'm putting it on my blog. I'll let you know if I do.

i dont like her better but i never liked psychiatrists. but my last one was more open. more personable but a little judgemental. i only didnt like him cuz he put me on too much injections.

Maybe as you get to know her she will become more personable. And, I'm glad no more injections. That will take a lot of stress off of you.

Is 2mg high enough? I thought the injections were equivalent to 5mg or greater although I admit its been a while since we figured all that out...

Is your dad Ok with this now?

Anyway I'm glad you made the switch and I'm really hoping things work out with this one...

So wait you told her you were on 5mg but she gave you 2mg? Why did she do that?

Newtus: so will you just be stopping the injection all at once? No tapering off? If so, isn't that dangerous?

I agree that this is concerning. I'm glad that you're back on tablets cos that's what you wanted, but it's quite a big drop. Did she say why??

So let me guess. You told her u were on 5 mg haldol and that it was too much for you. Bad side effects. Not knowing they were injections every 3 weeks.

So she is listening to your concerns as a good pdoc should, and is lowering it to 2 mg. Would that be an accurate guess at what happened?

My dad asked me about how I was doing and I accidentally let slip about the demons. He thought I was being funny and said I was playing games and being manipulative. I don't know how to respond to that. He asked me if I felt safe and I told him that didn't have anything to do with anything. I mean, just because I feel unsafe doesn't mean I am, and vice-versa.

Then he texted my mom and she started interrogating me. Literally getting angry with me for things that I can't control and asking questions I can't answer. This is why I don't tell people things.

Do you think they come off that way because they dont know what to do and they are scared?
I mean, of your dad didnt think it was important, why would he text ur mom?
I cant speak for them but as for myself, when Bean tells me things like this my first thought is to blow her off and hope its not true and it will go away. Of course its wrong and stupid of me but i am afraid for her and want it to go away.
Maybe its the same for your parents. They sound scared and worried. Parents sometimes dont show it the right way. Just a thought hun.
Im glad you are communicating with them.

Sorry that your parents aren't being supportive right now. Neither are mine Do you have anyone IRL to support you, like a T or a good friend?

No, not really. I don't talk to the people I used to. Barely leave the house. I'm getting a new doctor and I guess a new therapist? Not sure. The only old friend I still talk to has problems of her own, and sometimes I feel like she's obsessed with me...

Lol I enjoy watching Jerry Springer and the Steve Wilkos show so their post are quite entertaining to me. I'm currently reading "baby mama drama" argument over facebook between my friend and her "baby daddy"'s sister. It's just hilarious.
