Changes

Last week was a roller coaster ride.

It has made me realize how much more I need from my psychiatrist.

Not only should he actually call me back when I'm in need, but I don't think he completely gets the extent of what I'm going through.

When I initially met him, I handed him a piece of paper bulleting everything I was feeling and what I expected because I knew I wouldn't be able to speak without bawling. The psychiatrist I was seeing for over two years prior to him failed me miserably.

So far? Not good.

I know I need more medication. One antidepressant and an antianxiety medication isn't cutting it.

My moods are rapidly cycling day in and day out. Scratch that. It's minute to minute and it's really scary.

I called today and bumped up my appointment from next week to tomorrow.

It's time we have ourselves a little chat.

  3. NICE! Definitely something I need to do, too. I should call my therapist... she's awesome, but she's hard to get into, so I gave up a while back..
