What have you not mentioned to your T/pdoc that you know they should?

I'm not sure why you keep things from your T/pdoc. I know why I do though.
  many hugs

I used to play down my suicidality to stay out of the hospital, but I don;'t do that anymore.

I tell them everything but I wasn’t always like that and how does that help any? Sometimes I don’t want to or don’t plan to be 100% about even suicidal thoughts but I’m
Honest. That’s how I ended up in ip 24 days and just got out. He did get strict with me for being willful and “not cooperating” as he put it. In the end I had no option BUT to be back in the hospital but I trust my t and pdoc and listen to their recommendations in the end even when it sucks.’ __________________ Bipolar 1 w/psychotic features or schizoaffective bipolar type PTSD generalized anxiety OCD celexa, prazosin, Lybalvi and prn zyprexa and klonopin |

I tell her everything except that I would prefer she treat me more like a client than like a friend. I don't mind hearing about how she's decorating her backyard...don't mind a few minutes of it- but not 1/3 of the session

I don't tell my therapist *everything*, but I tell her 95% of the things I'm going through or 95% of the things that are on my mind. The stuff I hide is TMI stuff (e.g., if I had diarrhea, my period, or something like that). She doesn't really need to know that, in my opinion. Though, I will admit that I do hide suicidal thoughts from her. I'm deathly afraid she will put me in IP for that, and well... now is definitely the time I would like to avoid IP. (And FYI, I am not suicidal right now. I'm just speaking in general.)

that I find them extremely unhelpful and that I'm getting nothing from talking to them.
I think the reason I've not mentioned it is because I'm so fed up of changing therappists, and want to hold on for as long as I can without starting again from scratch |

There's a lot of things I think I want to bring up in therapy that I can't because I have anxiety about speaking the words. It's really hard for me to open up in person or on the phone. I'd love to have therapy in a text format. I can express myself much more easily that way.

I'm regularly drinking and smoking weed... yeah they should probably know that, but they don't. I quit two days ago and if I "relapse" I'm going to bring it up, but otherwise I won't

I am also not a fan of the phone. I get anxious on it too have you thought about one of those websites that offer online therapy? I don't know your financial situation, but it may be worth looking in to if you want something by text. |

I used to (years ago) have therapy via online exchange. every friday afternoon for an hour
what I liked about it (apart from the fact I didn't have to talk on the phone) was that he was flexible- and could understand my financial situation and couldn't pay full price for his sessions. I don't know him anymore though sadly |

This is interesting to me  Sometimes it takes 6 or 8 years or more to trust a provider with some things. It's great that you have a provider who has stuck with you for more than 9 years. This warms my heart. (It also makes me more certain that I am not ''incorrect'' with my observations re certain forests irl. Some people in certain forests irl do not like The Truth (not about anyone on pc) __________________

I have issues with my Xanax. I sometimes take 3 a day when I’m only prescribed 2. I took 4 twice. The second I get even the slightest bit of anxiety I take one. I don’t try working though it. I honestly have no idea how I’ll handle it mentally or physically if he decides to take me off it.
