Glad to hear that things are back to "normal" with your doc...did she have any insights on what happened?
In my so-called life my primary relationship is with my pdoc, so I join you in that bit of strangeness. I feel very close to her. Unfortunately, she's been on maternity leave for the last several weeks, and it has been...well, not good.
While being gone and unreachable for five weeks following the birth of her baby, my brain decided to go through its worst downswing in months....:( I've been very very suicidal.
She did come into the office two weeks ago and I saw her. She gave me some new meds (Lexapro) which seem to be having an effect...since I've been on it, I called an animal shelter to do volunteer work. I also called several places for work, two of which want me to come in to talk, and others encouraged me to fax my resume for consideration in about a month (it's the slow time of year in my industry). Yay!! This is a big freakin' deal for me, as I've been out of work for three years and on disability for several months. Anyway, I see her again on Tuesday, then it's another two weeks until she's back regularly.
I have to say, Tabitha, I've been surprised and ashamed of how jealous and left out I feel with her. I had a difficult time throughout her pregnancy, and it has been...very desolate. She's been totally understanding, but the facts of the situation are still there.
So, you asked if I was in therapy? <snicker> I know this answer is more than you bargained for, but thanks for giving me an excuse to type some of it out.
