I go to both my pdoc and Tdoc today and I've compiled a list for them in case I start crying and can't communicate well. Here is my list:
- fear of losing control
- fear of going insane
- guilt for having to take medications
- guilt for family and friends for having to deal with me being not normal and fun
- scared I won't get better
- feeling trapped and debilitated by my thoughts
- once I start to feel normal I will talk myself out of it and tell myself that i am not supposed to feel normal
- when in public I feel depersonalized and stare at people and wonder if they're happy and how they are happy
- extreme mood swings and crying fits usually caused by PMDD

So there's my list ... sigh. Anyone else feel these things?

Anxiety I always make list otherwise I would not cover the grounds i need to talk about. I get anxious at doctors office. I believe quiet a number of people do the same:)
Most of the points apply to me as well...
