I'm worried

Alien0n3arth

I'm worried about my therapist being angry or somehow negative to me for me medicating myself without consulting him. It's not fully "myself" these are meds prescribed to me by my previous psychiatrist. My mom brought me 2 more packs of those pills, that helped me at that time with a severe crisis. Then I stopped taking them. Now I had another severe crisis, which I shared with mods in email, but won't share much of it here. I was really close to do something I would regret. So I took these meds again, waiting till Wednesday (my appointment) would be too long. These meds give side effects which I don't like but being sane is more important for me. Should I just tell the doctor that I take them and not worry or should I prepare somehow? 

Sorry if it sounds stupid, it's my first ever therapy.

    It’s not stupid, it’s a valid concern. It sounds like you were in desperate need of help so it is natural that your mum and you did what seemed best for you at that time. Perhaps you could contact your GP now just to make them aware of what you are taking, and get their advise? 

    I can’t tell you whether or not the action you both took would be something that your therapist needs to know about or not, but if the therapist is a medical doctor (I think you are referring to the same person when you talk about your therapist and your doctor?), perhaps it would be good to mention it as your interaction with them might be affected due to the effect of the medication.

    I can understand you being anxious as it will be your first therapy with this person. I hope the session goes well for you.

    Yes, my therapist is a medical professional- anesthesia,  neurology and psychotherapy. My mom brought me these meds over two years ago, I just had them in my cupboard, still not expired. So I decided to take them. At least I knew what to expect as side effects from them and how to take them etc.
