Just had an appointement with my psych

Lounge
1

I talked with my psychiatrist about my last issues including the issue with my second job

She didn’t seem understanding that I have bad working conditions (I don’t know if it’s me that didn’t explain well) and was like “why are you doing two jobs” with her tone that rised She told me to choose one job between both of my jobs

It’s not her that would give me a sick leave lol

She said you don’t give a sick leave for nothing and that they check why you have a sick leave (even though I would have real reasons because my mental and physical health decreased)

She wants me to take a third Risperidone (I’m taking two 1mg in the evening) and told me I shouldn’t listen to my mom (that said 2 Risperidone is ok) that it’s her the doctor

It’s stressing me too because it was an online appointement and today my dad is at my mom’s home

I’m scared he heard about my second job and the name of my medication

Don’t worry, the doctor usually knows how to deal with the symptoms better than us. If you do feel too sedated though make sure to tell the doctor

As for your father finding out, don’t mind it - people find out; whether they know or not, you still have it

Thank you

Honestly I’m not into being dependent of meds

She added another dose because I’m anxious

I don’t want to take medication for anxiety, I would like to learn how to manage my anxiety

I don’t want my dad finding out is because he’s mean and would act even more stingy with me

I hear you, sometimes it’s neccesary because life dictates it. When the anxiety calms down, it’ll go down again. be easy - resistance makes everything more complicated !

Ok, thank you

This appointement made me more anxious that I already was (because I go back to work and I need to talk to people to improve my working conditions)

I will take an appointement with my doctor to talk about that to her, my psychiatrist encouraged me to talk to her because I know her for a long time (even though I don’t go to the doctor that often)

I wanted to sleep a bit before going to work but there’s not a lot time left and I think I’m too anxious to sleep

Tell your mind to slow down, and maybe write down your thoughts to stop the racing heart. most of what we feel is imaginary and will never happen, we have to learn to control that fr fr

Ok, I will try writing down what makes me anxious

I will also write all the details of what happens at work for my doctor so she doesn’t say it’s nothing too
