Hi people
Anyways, I had my second appoint with p-doc no.2 today and now I realize that he doesn't know what the heck he is doing.
I told him about how I think that sometimes I'm not really sure if I'm making up stuff or really believe that I think crazy things and that I probably don't need an anti-psychotic. He then keeps asking me whether or not I think the Risperdal helped and I honestly have no clue. :-(
The only thing I noticed was that today in the waiting room I wasn't going insane with anxiety like I usually do. I get super anxious even with p-doc no.1 and I've seen her many many times. What the hay, I thought, I may as well take the Risperdal for another 2 weeks, it doesn't seem to be harming me in any way.
Anyways, I've changed my mind about p-doc no.2 being all about meds. He's not really into anything...he doesn't talk much. He doesn't give me any feedback or teach me things. He just listens...which led to some pretty awkward moments of absolute silence... He's into exercise...he said I should go jogging when I feel suicidal.
P-doc no.1 seemed like she knew what she was doing. P-doc no.2 keeps asking me what I need. I don't know what I need. I don't even know what the heck is wrong with me.
It seems like p-doc no.2 doesn't know what to do with me. There were so many moments of absolute silence...no one knows what to do with me. :-(
Argh...what the heck is wrong with me?

P-doc number 2 is probably still assessing you, and getting to know everything, which is actually a really good thing (though probably doesn't feel like it when you wat something to actually happen). Where I work, the assesment takes 6 - 8 hours of meetings (normally 90 minutes each) before any opinions are formed and treatment decisions made.. Its much better than him rushing in and making mistakes..
Hang in there and give the guy a chance.. if after 6 appoitments or so you still feel like he's ot helping, ask if you can see another one in the same department..

Or, p-doc no.2 is just really really confused! I hope he doesn't think bad things about me. When he doesn't talk or ask questions, I think he doesn't know what to say. I think I'm right. He doesn't know what to say to me. He doesn't know what to make of me.
I don't blame him, I even confuse myself. Sometimes I think I'm nuts and sometimes I think that I only think that I think I'm nuts (but I'm really not). There is nothing but confusion I'm sure of!

Hey Nikki 2. Where in the World do you find a pdoc that takes that long to assess you? Anyone I've had does it the first visit and that's usually if your lucky about 30minutes. I liked it when they did phychotherapy too. Fondly, Phillipa
