I had finally got up the courage to tell Rachelle that I would like to write stuff for my appointments and then we could discuss them since I am better at writing how I feel. Now I wonder if that was a good idea. My last writing assignment was about my fear of being judged. It was hard to write, but I did it. I didn't get everything I wanted to say out, but I did the best that I could. It was a great paper, but now I am stuck on the next topic. I am suppose to write about the antidote for fear of being judged and find an image to go with it. I don't have any clue what to write. If I knew the antidote, then I wouldn't have this problem, would I? I have two weeks to write this and I don't have any ideas. I am stuck. It will suck if I go in there and have absoultly nothing written. I will be a failure. And that is horrible since this whole thing was my damn idea. Next time I should just keep my ideas to myself.
I still haven't gone to get my blood work done for my Psychiatrist. I am dreading it. I really don't want to do the drug test. I should have kept my mouth shut. I should have lied. Ughh!! The other reason I don't want to go do it is because I am scared to go by myself. I hate doing new things. I contstantly think that I am gonna go to the wrong place or do the wrong thing. Why do I have to do this? Why can't someone go with me? I think I am gonna try to go on Monday. I have to have blood work done for my Physical so maybe I will just do it all after that appointment. That is if I don't chicken out like I always do. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to go to the Hospital to do it. Maybe I can find somewhere else that my insurance will cover it. Why does insurance have to make things so damn difficult?
I think I might make a video asking if anyone has any ideas on my writing topic. I just need a jumpstart and some ideas of what to even write.

Nervous as Hell...
Today was my appointment with the new Psychiatrist. I was scared shitless. I was sitting in the waiting room contemplating if I wanted to just walk out. I felt like I had an elephant sitting on my chest, I was shaking and my palms were so sweaty, I was having a hard time playing a game on my phone. And then my name is called. I get to her office and it is completely different than my last psychiatrists office. I was so nervous she noticed that I was shaking. And then the horror began. It was completely different than the last intake session I had. She actually asked questions. I don't think she really needed to start with suicide questions. Not the best topic to get started on. But whatever. She asked me millions of questions while holding a coffee cup in her hand. Sit the damn thing down. It was annoying me. I had to courage to ask for Xanax, but of course she turned me down too. Wtf? C'mon, I only use it when I need it. UGHHH!! So now I have to go get blood work done and get a drug test. Why do I need a drug test? And then she said she also does random testing. WTF??? I am so confused. What is she, my mother? And then she felt the need to weigh me and see how tall I am. Hmmm? I thought maybe so she knew what mg of medicine to give me. But she just gave me the same stuff I was on before. I am suppose to go back to see her in 3 weeks. I almost don't want too. She is nice and all, but I feel like now this person is too far up into my business. I seemed to have gone from the person who could care less to the person who wants to fucking control me. I don't know what I want to do. I am tired of being anxious all the time and being a bitch, but...... Maybe I will try it her way.

Something needs to happen.... Something needs to change....
I haven't written on here in what seems like ages. I am sort of nervous. I have an appointment with my new Psychiatrist tomorrow. Or I think I do. They haven't called to confirm my appointment yet and that should have been done yesterday. It makes me think that maybe I have the dates messed up or maybe she told me the date and time, but never entered it into the computer. I guess if they don't call by tomorrow I should call and double check before I drive all the way there to find out I don't have an appointment. I hate calling people. I am always afraid that the person on the other end of the phone is making fun of me. Not by what they are saying, but I feel like after I hang up with them they make fun of the way I talk. Maybe I messed up or something and they think I am a dimwit. I know that sounds stupid, but I can't seem to shake that feeling.
I am glad that my previous Psychiatrist released me. I was afraid he wasn't going to because Rachelle told me that it is really hard to change doctors because they all stick together. But he did so that is good. I am suppose to see the new one, Dr. Mansour. I hope things go better with her and she doesn't just blow me off like Dr. Swart did. He was a fucking asshole. I am thinking since my appointment with her is at 2:15 pm that it is just a med visit. I was hoping to get a new intake session since he lied about mine. He wrote in my file that I was there for 45 minutes. Bullshit. 20 minutes MAX. And the dumbass never gave me a diagnosis, I had to find that out from my therapist. But then again, how can someone give a diagnosis when they are not even interested in getting to know anything about the person they are diagnosing? I don't even think he ever read my file. Maybe if I am lucky the new one will read it or maybe be interested in getting to know me. I am going to come up with a list of things I want to discuss while I am there since I have a tendency to forget everything when I get nervous. Actually I think I am just too scared half the time to say what I am feeling or thinking.
I am crossing my fingers and hoping it goes well tomorrow. If not I am gonna be even more pissed of than I already am. Something needs to happen. Something needs to change.
