I'm beside myself with what the future holds feel so bad everyday I wake up made worse by seeing psyctrist can't spell she stopped all my meds just overnight ???? The mental anguish is unbearable she spoke to my doctor so he's doing noting I can't maintain this level of stress daily it's torture panic attacks felt like having heart attack yesterday I feel the world changing I think having adhd makes you aware of everything the ability to see outside the box I'm very very scared

Really sorry to hear that @Catherine21 they'd not have stopped your meds for no reason and usually would taper you off them. What did they say?

Honestly she's awful she said oh god God you don't need all this medication I was weaned off amtriplyine through my choice but the other antidepressants she said taken off my file and to stop them??? Also she spoke to my doctor so he's not responding to my concerns and withdrawing symptoms she says I definitely have adhd but medication fir adhd doesn't do anything she's really scrambled my head I felt ok after our initial session but as time goes on I'm clueless what's happening she ends session and doesn't give follow up dates noting I wish I didn't start seeing her the thoughts she's put in my head are horrific

I think this is probably a conversation for a different discussion. But it sounds like you need to be totally open and honest with her, as otherwise she won't know and will carry on doing the same thing! I'm sure she has her reasons and they may well be very correct, but a bit more communication wouldn't hurt.

I did tell her second time she's really strange sounds awful but she doesn't listen she said for 5th time have you heard of bpd unless she's testing me if not she doesn't remember anything I said mind blown best left in my own little world tbh

There we go, I've made our chat a new discussion so others dont lose any information from the other discussion, I hope that's ok?

I'm guessing she has a lot of patients, so some forgetfulness is to be forgiven, but she really should have everything in her notes about you. I'm guessing things can sometimes get confused, but something like stopping medication wont have been done without a very good reason. So it's worth asking again for an answer. If you have the NHS app, it may well say on your patient history notes?

Thankyou she's not organised she leaves me hanging spoke to doctors they tried contacting her about my meds but can't do anything till she says she has adhd I'm convinced she doesn't retain information talks over me and acts like she's trying to trip me up questioning every little detail and then asks same question asked me if I heard of bpd so many times I said yes i have it so many times she makes me feel paranoid like a pip assessment I feel more lost talking to her even doctor today said I have to contact her to find out about meds as well my dad was right he said they make you worse well it has me everything feels different lm always thinking something bads going to happen it's awful sorry to go on feel so vunerable leaves me scared
