It has taken me fifteen hours to get here. Now I know what it's like to climb an ice-covered Kilamanjaro in roller skates. But I've stuck with this b/c I need a peer group so much, and the fact that this site is overseen by a quirky father figure is totally aces with me. Y'all sound plenty smart and charming and I hope I can make a contribution.
My ruling nightmare is a recent conflict w/ my shrink, who looks like Robert Downey Jr. and wears sharkskin suits. Ergo, I adore him. He became enraged w/me Wednesday when he returned to the office and saw me studying my chart. I've never seen him so upset and we've battled majorly in the 3 years I've been seein him. He said he'd fire me on the spot if I ever did that again. "This is mine," I said evenly, gesturing to the 4 inch thick folder. "It's mine," he intoned, and around we went. Any doctor would be appalled at what I'd done, he said, and I should ask 20 people if they think I was out of line. I replied that I don't care if 50 people tell me I was perfectly appropriate I'll never do it again seeing how it effected him so and I meant it. My question is shall I chalk this hypersensitivity up to HIS STUFF or am I truly out of bounds peeking at my chart when a dr. steps out of the room? Incidentally he isn't withholding secrets from me, he reads me his words verbatim any time I ask him to. Any response would be appreciated!
