Visit to the Psychiatrist with My Case Manager

Tweet

I just came back from a meeting with my psychiatrist and my case manager. Usually my case manager won't be going with me to appointments but she wanted to meet my psychiatrist this time. It was a good appointment overall. No medication changes, which is a positive thing! We did talk about my stress level and the related hallucinations that it brings when at a high level. I am working on coping with that without medication increases though, as more medication makes me feel very tired. A big reason my case manager came along was because I wanted the doctor to explain Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) to her. My doctor gave a very good, very honest explanation. She said she trusted me not to get upset. And I did pretty good – I realized at one point I was scratching my arm and managed to stop. Dealing with BPD is hard...it hurts to be described as needy. Got to face the truth though to get better.
