Virginia,
Is there no reality, you ask.
The same question has occured to me. The only answer I can find is that reality is an evolving thing; it changes as I change. At the same time, though, I change as my perception of reality changes.
For example, in therapy I learned that many of the things I thought were insurmountable, untalk-aboutable things were in fact not so big as I imagined. I could talk about them and not die, or fall into madness. My reality was altered.
Now that I understand better what you were talking about in your first post, I would still make an appointment with the psychiatrist and talk with him.
You have the right to decide that you'd feel safer with him than you do with your therapist. It's all about you having a place that seems safe enough where you can explore yourself.
Again, but what do I know?
