Psych Appt Tuesday.

[Misunderstood.]

So I have an urgent psych app. for Tuesday as don't feel I can carry on how I have been until the next scheduled app. in Novemeber. I know it may not have seemed like I'd need an emergency app., or mebbe it has lol but I tend to keep most of my cards close to my chest and find it very difficult to open up to anyone nevermind here. I rele wish i could tho because i can see how benefitting it is. And I rele also feel here is where i'd be understood!
I've to write a list of symptoms as advised by a friend instead of going and asking for a specific medication like i was going to bcso he didnt think the psych would like that.
before i write here what i feel are my symptoms i was wondering if ppl could write here if u notice anything when i post here and there. mood swings or changes in behaviour, a certain way i type or what have u.. ur perspective will mean an awful lot. i dont mind if it makes me look bad or good i rele dont mind bcos i know its bcos im ill atm.
just anything that makes me seem not qquite as well as i could be and why..if iv pulled off seeming well here as well then strange as it may sound i dont like that i manage to have that front up anywhere. its ingrained.

Thank you all in advance.
if i havent made sense let me know.

I haven't anything to say that might be off use but I wanted to wish you luck. It's really great that you have been able to ask for a psych appointment and I hope that you are able to get the help you need. xx

People act differently on line, and unless someone reads all your posts it isn't very likely they would notice symptoms that you and your friends notice.

I think that writing out a list of symptoms is a good idea. If there is a medication you want to try you could probably ask your psych about it and see what they think. Something like "I head about medication xxxx, what do you think of it?"

I'm glad you were able to get an appointment when you needed one, hopefully the doctor will be able to help you get things sorted.

Just to let you know, your post is kinda hard to read because of all the text speak in it, sorry.

The text speak happens from needing to type as fast as i'm thinking. Well thanks for your opinion Aidey; makes sense I suppose.
I'll go my own way and write symptoms down. I was just interested in other peoples veiw but didn't take into account that no one has a veiw over the whole forum of how i behave.
No need to be sorry about the text speak, I'm not.

Some text speak is ok, but i'm old and it does my brain in, lol.

When I went in for my psych appointments I always wrote everything down because other wise I forgot what I wanted to talk about, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, so I doubt your Psych will think it's odd you wrote stuff down.

im the same age as u if ur 22 like it says in ur profile. but i dont act my age unfortunately.
i dont even know if i can attend the app. iv only just seconds ago snapped into tears after stressing in my head about it since i made the app.
i have a flight in the afternoon. i want to be able to do both on that day and i am just stupid but its the only app. they had.
i just tried writing u a PM. ur probably glad i didnt. i think apart from anything else i want reassurance that i can get through this time without more medication.
im schizo-affective bipolar type and on 1000mg carbemazapine only and i have so much nervous energy atm. all through every day i am feeling aggravated anxious and stressed until this, when i snap and cry.
the flight was booked a month ago for to go on a break at a friends in Glasgow.
I really don't feel i can cancel that. who else would over a psych app.? i want to be well at the same time too.
i was wondering if im in a mixed episode i dont know. i just want to be able to get through.
i seem so contradictory. i must seem like a fool. its hard to stick to the same idea, when my own is changing so much. thread plots change too..

Maybe you could get a later flight?
I think its a really great idea to write things down. I hope your appointment goes well. =)

[Misunderstood.]

I cancelled the appointment. Couldn't deal with the stress of even the thought of the timescale. I may've been able to get a later flight, didn't even think of that. Nothing much I can do in hindsight now.
I'll just have to get by. Apparently they are going to send me out an appointment card for the next available. I will have to remove myself from the thought that I can rely on psychs etc. Just get by with the medication I'm prescribed. I've little alternative.
