First time seeing a psychiatrist

[Fire Fly]

Welldone Lucy for being so brave and honest! I'm sooo happy you were honest and everything went well. Hopefully tomorrow appointment will also go smoothly. I'm so proud of you Hun! You have done so well. Xxx

Lauri- I'm sorry that you have had a bad experience with psychiatrist and been given a few labels that you didn't think were right and you have had to take medication against what you believed it but that's not always the case! Psychiatrist generally don't always want to dose you up. Before I moved to England I had a label of bipolar 2 and had some meds that helped to an certain extend but when I moved back to London the psych here re diagnosed me and changed my meds to some that work even better. To be honest some medication has really improved my life.

I don't thinks fair for you to push your own personal and experiences onto othe rpeople and telling them not to see a psych as you've had a bad experiences. As you see Lucy you has had a good session and hopefully tomorrow will be slightly better and things can started rolling for her to feel better.

Thanks Holly! I'm glad I told her! You encouraged me to tell her about my SH and be honest and I did it <3 I'm going to try and explain what I'm feeling and stuff more in depth today :)

Thanks so much Rupi for always being there for me! <3 I'm glad I managed to be honest and didn't disappoint you! xx

Thank you Oliver x It wasn't easy yeas, but I know I need help and I also need some answers as to why I am behaving in a certain way if this makes any sense so I really want to keep being honest x


Hey spanner :) Thank you! x
Have you seen a MH professional before? Not necessarily a psychiatrist but a counsellor or a psychologist? I think having someone to talk to about your feelings/struggles would be really helpful-I'm not saying tell them everything just bit by bit and go at your own pace.
Do you think you could find someone to talk to about what you're going through? [If I could do it, then you can surely do it too! :)]
Good luck! I'm also rooting for you x
Oh and P.S.: *big hugs* since your mood says you need some x
