Test Results
 

So... My therapist got back the results of the MMPI-A test that I took. She says it confirmed her suspicion that I have emerging Schizophrenia. She wants me to go to a Psychiatrist.
She's my second opinion, her older sister had it. I don't, like, think she's off her rocker or anything.
Mum is trying to get me into a psychiatrist but it seems like everyone is booked until April or May. Is it always such a long wait? The time doesn't bother me, but mum dislikes the thought.
I've read about it. But it doesn't seem to actually tell me anything. Before I was on RYL Schizophrenia seemed to be something that people only got in movies. I don't know why I'm making this post, I'm just hoping someone has something helpful to offer, I guess.
My mother is still processing. She doesn't like the idea and thinks it's melodramatic. She doesn't really want to talk about it. I am trying to give her space because I didn't tell her all of what is going on until recently, and not specifically, and I didn't tell her when it was first suggested to me. But this time it isn't just an offhand suggestion. I feel sort of isolated in all of this.

Tbh, that does seem like the usual amount of waiting time to get assessed/see a psychiatrist. I have known it take up to a year for people to get seen

I figured that was the case, so I told my mum to make the appointment offered in May, and as it happened, there was a cancellation and I now have an appointment for tomorrow.
I'm trying not to panic but I don't understand this system, or whats going on really. I don't know how the appointment is supposed to go. Can someone please explain things to me? I'm so lost, it's like I'm going in blind.

Usually they ask you questions about your past, what you are struggling with, relationships with people, how you see yourself etc.

Thank you very much for responding.
I had an okay appointment I suppose. The doctor started me on Abilify.
I can't even take Acetaminophen without feeling sick so I can only image what fun I will have on other medications.
But anyway, thanks again for responding.

I hope that the new medication helps. It might be that the side effects, like feeling sick, settle down in a few days, they usually do.
