I get very very scared of seeing pyschartrists I am being made to see one tomorrow at 12pm and I have to go. I'm really scared about it and I'm trying to talk to staff about it but they just said its routine when you are unwell. But what will she do? or say? what do I say??? I hope i'm not alone in this anxiety.

Also so sorry for posting a lot i have a lot in my head

What is it that you're scared of?

I used to be very scared of them, but am used to them now.

Thanks sweetie

So bfore when I have been like this racing asround and stuffs i saw a psych. she orginially worked in a prison and was a locum person at the CHMT and she was just SO horrible aacccusig me of being on drugs and speed and that i wasn't really ill even though myCPN at the time told her i didn't take drugs!! she was just so mean and it reallt upset me and now i just hate seeing them!

It's also a bit like seeing a headteacher in school, I feel like i'll say something wrong and be in trouble. i tried to talk to staff about it yesterday but they just said they are 'reviewing' things. whatever that means

I'm not surprised you got a bad impression with that psych that you saw... they're not all like that I promise.
Reviewing probably means looking at your meds, and checking that your diagnosis fits.

it was okay, she listened for a whole 30 minutes!! she was very nice. but kept talking baout how i hsould take my medication. that i am ill and i need it. but i wanted to talk about other things. anyway she confirmed what my CPN said that i'm on a mixed ep of bipolar and that yes, it is hellish but that things will get better apparently. my partner is on his way here now. I told her i wanted to leave the crisis house cause frustrated here but she said its here or the ward so i will stay here.

you were right, they aren't all horrible!

I'm so glad she listened and wasn't horrible. :)
