> Sorry, Elle. I know how bad I feel when someone says something about my therapist (not my pdoc so much).
It's okay, I was hoping no one would think I had been offended or anything. I wasn't. But you are right, to me at least, pdocs are kinda like parents. The child can complain up a storm about them, but if someone else does it...I guess I just see him as kind of a daddy to me. He really is a kind person and I know that a lot of the problems I have in therapy with him are my own fault. I feel awful complaining about him so much on here, and I can't blame him for wanting to cancel my appointments.
> But haven't you been telling us he's been cancelling appointments? Or do I have you confused with someone else.
No, it's me. He does keep cancelling them.
>And does he generally do therapy as well as prescribe meds? So few do anymore...
He does do therapy, he asked me when I first started seeing him whether I wanted to focus on meds or therapy or both. And I said meds, because at the time I wasn't ready to spill my lifestory with him. But I am now. I wish he would ask me again. You know what the funny thing is Dinah? Everytime I see another doctor, just a regular doctor, they wind up calling my pdoc to tell him that they are concerned about me. It's embarrassing. I don't even know what vibes I'm putting off to make them feel a call is necessary. Anyway, it's morning again, and I didn't sleep.
