Just another suicide case hidden beneath the chains.

Good! Ask her for her phone number and call her everytime you have a panic attack. She will get the message of what's up with you.

I can never understand how professionals think we are to take care of our own panic and anxiety and meltdowns between our meetings with them. " Oh, we will see you next week," they chirp "make an appointment with my receptionist" what are we supposed to do between then and now, I wonder?

oh, wait! They can also put me under observation if they want to keep me safe, observe how I am helpless before this depression and fear. Would they reach out and help me?

I don't really want to bother her that much...

I mean, I could, but... I could also write down every time I get one. That would convey the message.

A list will convey a sense of statistics; do not underestimate the effectiveness of immediacy to make your point. You pay your psychiatrist to provide care; it isn't bothering her unless you're calling her at home at 15 times between 2 and 3 AM every night.

I guess...

I just have really low self esteem and my (mild) freaking out five to eight times a day in the middle of school doesn't seem urgent enough.

Then perhaps compromise: write down the minor ones, and call on the major ones... or even perhaps every time you tally twenty minor attacks. That will still allow for both methods to function effectively.

Hmm.

I'll have to consider that, but that might work.

Update:

I'm going to see my counselor today. Not my psychiatrist. Hopefully she can help me.

It's a start; the counselor may be able to act as an information liaison for you, providing quantifiable data to the psychiatrist based on your discussions. Don't know how integrated things are for you, but it's a thought. Glad to hear you're making progress!

Well, I'm back on my anxiety meds.

I think this is good. I'll se how today goes.

Update time.

Hey, I'm feeling a lot better! My depression may have been from anxiety, because I was at my happiest today!

But I nearly fell asleep in Pharmacology class. Ahaha.

So... I'm a lot happier now, just... tired.
