My advice is to suck it up and go anyway. I say this because whenever I start to think of reasons not to go to pdoc, not to go to tdoc~~I quickly find reasons not to take medications, too.

Also what I have found from experience is often when I start thinking about canceling appointments . . . it isn't so much anxiety over going to doc as it is anxiety because we have reached a point in my therapy that I don't want to face. I am just not ready to go there.

Avoiding the appointment is not a good choice. I tell my pdoc or tdoc when I don't want to talk about a particular aspect of my illness. I don't have issues that are permanently off limits, but there are some issues that are off limits at least for now.

I understand what you're saying. I go through this from time to time. I just have to remind myself that I'll feel better once I go and get it over with. I also need to be compliant so I can get my prescriptions, etc.

Good luck with this.

You pegged it Tygerlily. I have been making excuses for not taking my meds. I've actually stopped going to therapy. It gets me wound up and I OCD over being bipolar and then start swinging. I've been thinking that counseling just doesn't do much for me other then keep me upset. I'm tired of feeling that way. Even if I go every 2 weeks, I stay upset and mentally all over the place.

yeah ... I try to get someone to take me in those instances. Do you have someone that can drive you there?
