I was supposed to see Dr B on the 6th of Feb, but for one reason or another it got cancelled and now I won’t see him until March. By the time I do see him, it will have been about 6 months since my last appointment. It’s pretty unacceptable, but when you only have […]

An Update On My Journey
So, I was looking back through my blog and noticed that it had been quite a while since I posted anything about my mental health journey. I was shocked to see that it had been nearly 5 months and thought that I had better update my blog with everything that has been going on in […]

Psychiatrist Visit
So, today I saw my psychiatrist in what seemed like forever. I think it might actually have been months rather than weeks.
He asked me how school was going. I told him that I had to apply for mitigation because of everything that had gone one.

I told him about my disassociation

Wow – How Long?
I know, I know. It’s been way too long since my last update. A few things have happened since my last update.

I have been seeing an advisor from the jobcentre re my
Update Time Again
So, it’s been about 2 weeks since I last posted and some stuff (not so important) happened.
I was talking with a friend this last week who said I was brave for doing this blog. Thanks bud, it’s a hard thing to do, but also therapeutic.
I was talking to him about what had happened to him in the past (I won’t name names or tell details –
Visit Number Umpteen
So, I had another appointment with Dr B today. It was a weird one. He asked questions and then talked over me when I tried to answer. Oh well.
I asked him about my official diagnosis and he seems to be using cyclothymia and recurrent depressive disorder. So, I am not quite sure what my official diagnosis is anymore.

Visiting The Shrink
So, today I had another appointment with my psychiatrist – Dr B. Been about a month since the last visit.
We talked about what had happened during the last month. I told him that I was having highs and lows. I told him that I had a high for about a week, plateaud for about a week and then had a low for about a week. That has how
