Ok so I was with my T yesterday and he mentioned something about psychosis, I'm pretty sure that was the word.
He said people could have episodes even while on medicine, yada yada yada. I'm going to admit, I do see things and when I say I see things I don't mean, like monsters or people or anything crazy. What I mean is. Sometimes out of the corner of my eye, sometimes it seems like for instance my dog is there. Or whatever. It isn't always. Just sometimes. And my dog is alive. A little over 2 months ago, I was pushed and I hit my head. Ever since then, I have had all these symptoms hallucinations slowed thinking,irritability, dizziness, leg weakness, trouble finding right word, laughing inappropriately, balance problems, difficulty doing things I used to do. I had an MRI that showed possible small vessel ischemic disease, which is small vessel disease. I looked it up and completely have most of the symptoms. I am really upset that he would think that. I haven't told anyone that I had a head injury. I have a few problems with my T but it's kind of take it or leave it. He asks me if I know I can't have a person as an obsession. I told him about a new friend I have been spending a lot of time with. I know I can't. Crapola he must think I am really something crazy. I know I have nothing to prove to him but that bothers me. I was actually thinking about telling him about the head injury but I'm not so sure he would believe me. I mean I started to, but I couldn't get it out. I didn't want to cry in front of him. I don't know

SometimesP is right... psychosis can be caused by a head injury so I wouldn't take too much offence at it being brought up by your therapist.
I'm curious as to what follow up you had after your MRI... it would certainly seem you should be bringing up your hallucinations & other symptoms with a neurologist or something. I would also say it would be worth mentioning to your therapist too.

I am seeing a neurologist and am waiting authorization for an MRI with contrast. I haven't told my T about the head injury. I was pushed. That's what caused the injury. I wanted to tell him how but I'm afraid he will think it's all in my head which it is not. Psychologically. My neurologist said if a scan without contrast is showing possible small vessel ischemic disease a MRI with contrast will show the extent of the disease. One thing I told him and he thought was a hallucination was about being a medium. And when I wanted to prove it to him he wouldn't let me.

I think you need to find a t that listens to you.

Can you show him the MRI or have him talk to your neurologist?
