Why frequent psychiatrist visits are essential to mental health

I don’t know whether you readers have noticed, but there’s been a distinct lack of creativity around here lately.

I haven’t been feeling well. My mental health declined and I started feeling a bit blue. And then I got antsy and irritable. Both of these things are bad signs that I’m relapsing. Swings are bad!

When I first started feeling unwell, I was holding off because I knew I was seeing my psychiatrist soon. And then I missed the appointment. I rang the useless receptionists and they couldn’t fit me in for another month because Psych.C was moving offices. So then when I rang the new offices, the old receptionists had fucked up the appointment. So then I couldn’t be fitted in for another month.

In the mean time things were deteriorating rapidly. So bad I was taking time off work which had never happened before. I didn’t want to do anything and I snapped at people. I ended up with my home in jeopardy which didn’t help either.

Last night I took double doses of my medications and this morning. It’s irresponsible, and I’ll keep my psychiatrist informed next time I see her. I’ve had enough of feeling like crap.

Let’s hope it works.
