Hi notagain,
Let's take this step by step. Do you have any reason to believe that your pdoc will fire you? They usually don't you know. If you didn't have problems you wouldn't be seeing him.
Has he expressed concern over you putting yourself in dangerous situations? Has he threatened to fire you?
So often we're afraid to tell our mental health professionals the very things we most need to tell them. They can't help us unless they do.
My therapist has told me that he'll never be angry or fire me for telling him something he needs to know. Does your pdoc feel the same way?
Is your pdoc also your therapist? If not, do you have someone else to talk to? Really, Elbee was right. You should contact a woman's center - people who are specially trained to help you with this.
Please take care of yourself. Don't let your fear stand in the way of your best interests. I know it's hard, but you can do it.
