“I was able to get an appointment right away. Very helpful psychiatric nurse practitioner prescribed my maintenance meds and gave me insight about the symptoms I was experiencing I decided to add therapy with a LCSW who was very supportive and encouraged me to challenge myself everyday. My mood has improved alot.”
“I am really pleased with my therapist.I love that I can make an appointment when I choose and at the times are variable. The therapist that I have by coincidence is very applicable to my issues.”
“Finding the right psychiatrist has been challenging. I'd like to find a new one on brightside which will be my third one. I'm on my 2nd counselor whom I really am confident in. I feel like she listens she has empathetic energy and doesn't get swept away by my rambling. I really like her. She's helped me a lot. My psychiatrist has a difficult challenge as I do not like taking medication I do not always agree with them wanting to put me on multiple medications. I used my own judgment and dropped two of my medications which were I believe causing my blood pressure to dip rather low. It's extremely difficult for me to find a psychiatrist who doesn't want to just pill me up but as I mentioned It's not easy for them because I go back and forth a lot so I know I'm part of the issue with that as well. I'm working on it. I just wish I could find a psychiatrist who suits my needs and has patience. She didn't even show up the last appointment. Thankfully I am doing better after dropping the other two medications but it's uncertain how long I'll be "up" as I go up and down a lot with my issues. Overall I'm thankful for brightside and I really feel like its made a positive impact in my life. I was at my wits end when I reached out to yall. I do believe it prevented me from negative things that were at foot so thanks so much and I will continue to work with yall.”
“So far so good . The exercises and the talks getting the reassurance that I am okay , I will be okay and anxiety and negative thoughts don’t last they will go away . Here positive words help .”
“I am still in the middle of all this. It is helping, but I am still kind of burning the candle at all three ends. Hard for me to declare victory - this is going to take some more time. And… I am so sick of reviews. I buy a toothbrush and I get asked to review my experience. Technology has created too many false narratives for products. I usually delete the surveys and even that takes up too much time. I can’t wait for AI to weed them out of my inbox.”
