Racer,
Sorry I'm not a doctor, but here's my opinion anyway: your doctor sucks and a call to the Medical Board might be in order to report her calling back a suicidal patient 'when she got around to it.'
Therapy's great for dealing with your issues - but first and foremost, you need the right med so that you don't feel sick all the time. All the therapy in the world cannot change that - therapy's for later when you're feeling better.
Can you get the name of another doctor from one of your support group members? I would definitely ditch the uninformed loser you're trying to deal with now.
By the way, your sense of humor means you are still in there someplace. I've noticed that a lot of posters here have a sense of humor, as do I. I think that's what keeps us from totally coming apart at the seams sometimes. It's a sign of strength - and life - somewhere within us even if we don't always feel that's the case.
My very best wishes,
Judy
