I suffer from social phobia, depression and generalized anxiety disorder. I was 2 times in a private psychiatrist's office and then for 2 weeks in the psychiatric ward with the same psychiatrist, only that all this took place from the end of December 2021 to mid-March 2022, since then I have not been anywhere for 2 reasons: I no longer had money for private visits, and the 2nd reason is a symptom of my social phobia which is avoiding social situations. I am currently on drugs that do not work on me (venlafaxine and olanzapine), I have been taking them since the beginning of January 2022, I have not stopped using them even though I stopped going to a psychiatrist because they need to be discontinued under the supervision of a psychiatrist. I am now privately enrolled with the same psychiatrist I visited before and the appointment date is February 27. The problem is that I don't really know what to say to the psychiatrist when I enter the office, mainly because of my social phobia and also because I'm ashamed that I haven't been with her for so long. Any ideas on how to start this conversation?
